Pain - Lack of Protein

I have arthritis in my back and sometimes when I go heavy on my squats,
I feet it, not all the time though. Yes, arthritis can trigger pain
while you're lifting. But be more specific on "pain". Is it joint pain?
Muscle pain?, etc. If its joint related, how's your form? Are you going
too heavy? Do you warm up?. As you can see, there are alot of factors.

Thanks for two replies I receive.

The pain I feel usually is after working out, though I get aching
through my forearms during heavy curls (at least they are heavy for me,
maybe not other...). My pain remains in my forearms mostly during the week.

As for my shoulders and elbow. I went to see my doctor and he sent me
for shoulder x-rays. My left shoulder has a visible lump on top and I
have a lot of pain there. I am trying to remember, but I think he said
that my ACL could be separated and inflamed.

Hope I don't have to go to an ortho to get it fixed. This whole shoulder
thing has frustrated me. I have only been working out for about five
months and have really gotten addicted to it! I look forward to working
out (4 days a week) before work in the morning.

It is hard for me to be patient and take time off from lifting...I am
almost afraid that I will lose the "gym bug" and stop working out
altogether.

Sorry for the rant.
