Post Workout Joint Pain = cissus???

[zieglmv9]

:think:Hey, to make a long story short, I am 18 and getting ready for track season. I have been doing some light training over the winter but recently I have had some very bad joint pain, mainly in both knees. As far as I know, I haven't done anything differnent in my workouts (lifting 3x a week & running about 12-14 miles/week). I have heard about Cissus being helpful in situations like mine, any thoughts?

Cissus is great for easing joint pain but depending upon how bad the pain is I would recommend that you visit a doctor as it may be something more serious.

Thanks. I really don't think it is anything serious, just typical soreness after leg workouts or jump training.

Do insoles hurt running? I'm not a runner but when I used to lift boxes all day those cheap gel insoles really made the difference in my old work boots. Later a different job bought me some really expensive work boots and there was literally no break in period they were just perfect from day 1. I pretty much exclusively wear boots except when bicycling but I assume it's the same deal with shoes.
