What anabolic steroids can be used for joints or ligaments injuries

Pain in the ligaments, joints or tendons is one of the common problems experienced by many of bodybuilders. Either this comes as a result of training injury or of overtraining, going further with your exercising routine is quite difficult in some cases. The body has the ability to heal itself through blood nutrition. But compare to muscles where blood get in high quantity, ligaments and joints are not as well fluidized, thus they require more time to heal. That’s many of those who use body performance enhancers ask about if these compounds can be used for rehabbing joints or ligaments too. Aside of increasing protein synthesis, anabolic steroids elevates the number of red blood cells and stimulates large volume of blood. This means that it has great healing effect not only on muscle tissue but also on ligaments and joints too.

There are anabolic steroids which carry anti-inflammatory function too. To be clear do not confound this category of drugs with corticosteroids, which have on base cortisol. The last one is produced naturally by our body and its function is to heal it. The main drawback is that corticosteroids eat soft tissue of the affected area, thereby along with rehabbing you lose muscle mass to. None of bodybuilders who train hard to pack on would like to use corticosteroids to get rid of pain with the risk lose a big percentage of gains. They are as careful to corticosteroids use as they are when it comes to their nutrition and workout routine. That’s why corticosteroids can be easily used by those who do not carry about each pounds they have.

We can not about a wide list of anabolics which can be use for healing soft tissue. There are mainly two steroids that are largely used for their great anti-inflammatory effects.  It is about Nandrolone, more commonly known as Deca durabolin and Boldenone, known as Equipoise.

Deca durabolin (nandrolone decanoate)
Deca durabolin is a mild steroids, which aromatase in slow degree while increase nitrogen level significantly. But not these functions interested us. The miraculous way Deca reduce inflammation is what every steroids user should now, despite the way it action is not very clearly. What we know is that Deca either interfere with cortisol, or work alone as an anti-inflammatory. The first version is less probable, since cortisol is an anti-inflammatory and there is no need for Deca to block its action. More likely Deca acts as an anti-inflammatory, which doesn’t eat the soft tissue of affected area and do not even weakness the surrounding area as cortisol do. In the contrary, it can strengthen when it is used properly.

Cortisol is the hormone which trigger catabolic process, during which the muscle tissue is broken down into molecules. It usually occurs right after workouts or in the morning, after you stand up. Bodybuilders try to minimize the catabolic process by taking carbs which are best sources of energy.

With Deca you will not experienced such unwanted side effects like hair loss, acne, prostate growth or others so common for most of anabolic steroids. However, there is one point you have to pay attention on, it significantly reduce your sex drive, especially when taking in high doses.  Deca has to be mixed with an androgenic steroid to keep the hormone level into normal parametres. If you go with a dosage higher than 500 mg, than you have to increase the testosterone or dianabol dosage too.  For healing effect, you can take Deca in minimal doses.

Equipoise (Boldenone)
Equipoise is a veterinary steroid largely used for either bulking or cutting. It was designed to be administered in horses, but gain a good place in human use too. Equipoise has not a direct anti-inflammatory property as Deca has, but it still can improve the overall body healing rate and soft tissue in special. This is because Equipoise elevates the blood red cells numbers and the blood volume, allowing for tissues that are usually not very well fluidized to get most of the nutrients and oxygen. Since nitrogen retention is also increased, the all body has the better conditions to rehab faster.

Equipoise is a mild steroid which aromatize in a low degree, hence you can face water retention problems. This gear increased appetite, which is great for bulking cycles, but quite problematic when looking to cut down fat. When taking for rehabbing purpose the dosage should be lower than for muscle building, so you can consider a dosage of 400 mg weekly.

What else to take during rehabilitation

When taking anabolic steroids for rehabilitation make sure you add some vitamin C to your cycle to speed up the heal process. Also, adding some glucosamine or chondroitin to your cycle is beneficial too. These are anti inflammatory drugs which reduce pain. Drinking a lot of water for keeping your body well hydrated is what you should follow to.

Considerations
Everybody can get injured while working out. Paying a big attention to proper technique of exercises execution and choosing the weights you train with according to your body abilities are based methods to keep you safe. But if it happens and you begin to feel pain in your soft tissue than it’s time to think about it. Do not continue with your training if pain is very strong. Take some time and do a visit to your physician.

You can use some drugs that are great pain reliefs. If you are working intensively on building muscle mass or getting ripped, than no corticosteroids are advised for use. The main reason is that this drug contains huge amounts of cortisol, the hormone responsible for catabolic process. Thereby, despite of its antiinflammatory effects, cortisol eats soft tissue and weakness the muscles of the affected area. So, be careful when taking it if your goal is to get massive.

An alternative are anabolic steroids like Deca durabolin and Equipoise, which proved to have good healing effects. They contribute to overall body healing process. Taken these steroids don’t mean that you get your ligaments, joints healed immediately. It already takes time, but much less when using them.

Both Deca and Equipoise increase the number of blood red cells and the blood volume, feeding all muscles cells with more oxygen and nutrients. Regarding the dosage to take them, than it should be slightly lower than in case of bulking cycle. You can stack them adding testosterone too, for keeping the testosterone level in normal limits.
