I have injury caused arthritis in my wrist and shoulder,, also recurring tendonitis in my elbow,,, I've read that taking anti inflamatories will inhibit gains,,, any truth to this..... fyi, I take meloxicam

not sure honestly, sorry man.

Not sure about inhibiting gains. When I lift heavy I get tendinitis as well. I use topical NSAIDS like voltaren. Really effective and less gastrointestinal side effects.

There was a recent thread under supplements I think and someone posted a link to an article citing research (i did not see the research) that found ibuprofen to be anabolic. I will try to find the article.

Even if NSAIDs do inhibit gains I highly doubt it would be to any degree that would be noticeable to the average population in any manner.

Not saying it isn't or can't be true. Just that if it does it would be to such a small amount as not to be discernible

Given the amount of test and tren coupled with an excessive amount of protein daily, I'm inclined to agree,,,
