Want to send a thanks to the guys at LG for sending me a bottle of their new, yet to be released, Joint/Muscle repair product. Since this isn't the typical product most will add into stacks or the like (but if its quality, should be, since I know we all have those nagging aches and pains than can inhibit productive training) this will be updated based on my thoughts instead of daily use and so on.
So why am I using this product?
1) I have two bad knees (have ever since I was a young kid, put a lot of stress on them through sports and being a bit heavy). Knee pain isn't chronic and tends to flare up after intense basketball games, so my test will be to see if it alleviates it after or keeps it at bay.
2) A left quad micro tear/heavy strain. I was recently training for a half marathon run for cancer (10 miles) so I had been doing very strenuous distance runs (8-12 miles). My left quad really felt the effects of this abrupt training change and responded by what I am assuming are either micro tears in the middle of my quad or just a bad strain. Will report how it handles.
3) Prefacing this part with a a "I highly doubt this product will do nothing for this injury". I have a large L-5 S-1 herniated disc and 2 bulging/slightly herniated discs at L-3 and L-4. Now since the spinal cord/cavities in between vertebrae are "joints" I might as well try it out. I know it won't heal it, but I want to see if it can hep manage pain that can flair up after heavy squat days/abnormal back stress days. Since I refuse to take NSAIDs, which are the main source of relief for such a problem outside of more epidurals/surgery/traction, if this product could magane pain I would be thrilled.
I will begin my dosing schedule this coming Friday. I will update day 1 (mostly application notes) and then feelings as I go on.
