When I first started out lifting, I too had a lot of joint pain (mainly my knees and wrist). Hey Legend! Congrats on taking your first steps toward a healthy lifestyle. When I get lazy about it, I regret it within a month. I do use fish oil and supplements that contain msm, glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. More aggravating are the issues that weren't solved by getting stronger that I continue to have issues with. The few years that I did use cardio to lean up, I did eventually learn to be a bit more proactive and tape my shins up (never could wrap my mind around simply running shorter distances for a longer period of time.ha!) but it never got to the point that I had ZERO problems until my weight was lower. So far as that went, I'd just switch to cardio that wasn't a pounding movement (stairmill, elliptical, stair-stepper) until they didn't hurt and then tear them back up again when trying to run (probably didn't help that I'd go from no running to running for mileage over the course of 2 weeks). And it was around that time I started running when I was "bulked up." My shins hate me for running when I weigh 140-ish pounds. The most notable areas where my wrists and elbows and I had to adjust a few of my workouts until certain movements quit bothering me (try an exercise, realize it wasn't going to happen that day, try something else and try the original exercise again the next week). I had the same issue when I first started lifting heavy.
