Got any knee problems or need help with rehabilitation feel free to ask

No issues with knees, but starting to have issues with elbows.

Thinking about getting some elbow sleeves a bit pricey though

I find if I drink my elbows get wrecked. Think alcohol stops body repairing itself etc. Bad for muscles too. Without fail if I drink elbows sore following days. Gonna stop drinking altogether because of it.

This is about cutaneous wounds but lots still relevant especially the connective tissue bit:

Beyond the increased incidence of infection, exposure to ethanol also seems to influence the proliferative phase of healing. In murine models, exposure to a single dose of alcohol that caused a blood alcohol level of 100 mg/dL (just above the legal limit in most states in the US) perturbed re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, collagen production, and wound closure (Radek et al., 2005, 2007, 2008; Fitzgerald et al., 2007). The most significant impairment seems to be in wound angiogenesis, which is reduced by up to 61% following a single ethanol exposure. This decrease in angiogenic capacity involves both decreased expression of VEGF receptors and reduced nuclear expression of HIF-1alpha in endothelial cells (Radek et al., 2005, 2008). The ethanol-mediated decrease in wound vascularity causes increased wound hypoxia and oxidative stress (Radek et al., 2008). Connective tissue restoration is also influenced by acute ethanol exposure, and results in decreased collagen production and alterations in the protease balance at the wound site (Radek et al., 2007). In summary, acute ethanol exposure can lead to impaired wound healing by impairing the early inflammatory response, inhibiting wound closure, angiogenesis, and collagen production, and altering the protease balance at the wound site.

Interesting. Although....

The inflammatory response is an important part of the mechanism that signals your body to repair and grow. Maybe we should follow up every workout with a high-protein beer. :D

I have a sore left knee. It started when I was running marathons 2 years ago. The pain comes and goes. When the pain comes it will last for about 5-10 minutes, then it just goes away.

Sick story brO, you should write a book.

 

LMFAO! What a funny fellah. You should be a comedian.

warming up with light cycling, leg extensions my knee still hurts for reason, do you guys just take fish oil/joint supplements to make it feel better?

 

and nah no deca yet since Dave is in jail

 

check to see for inner thigh tightness or anything like that.. these kind of things can put knee out of alignment even a little, enough to cause crazy pain
