standard markers of inflammation, ESR, CRP, etc. Or you could even look for the curve of cortisol response and clotting factors with a venous catheter, I guess. But again, not at all relevant outside of an academic curiosity unless you are training to be an athlet (which is unhealthy and should be avoided).
Are you implying I shouldn’t [overly] worry about chronic inflammation? I’m pretty confident there is an inflammatory component here—icing and voltaran do seem to help. It’s been long enough (3 months) that I’ve started to think about trying a curcumin supplement and/or just cooking with tumeric+black pepper a bunch.
Oh, not at all, chronic inflammation could be a thing.
I’m just saying that tracking how your exercise routine affects chronic inflammation is a very min-maxy type of things.
Chronic inflammation could very much be a macro problem that leads to joint pain.
Did you already test basic stuff? Like immune cell counts, homocysteine, uric acid, CRP, fibrinogen, ASLO blah. Basically, a standard blood panel an obsessed GP would give you? If not I’d certainly start with that.
I mean, for all you know this thing could be caused by eating too much meat, or gluten intolerance, or whatever (not saying those reasons are especially likely, just examples of “dietary problem that is easily caught on tests and can be easily resolved)
