Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask, Lately my back has been acting up, when i wake up it feels like it locks up, sometimes my neck gets stiff. It does not happen all the time. My doctor gave me a medication that is a muscle relaxer. I can not find anything specific about the effects on AAS. I was thinking after my workout or at night to take the medication. Some relief would be nice, Wondering if i should leave it alone or taking this medicine should not have a negative affect on trying to build muscle.

MaryjanekaI think this drug can't have a bad effect on your body and muscles because it is a pain reliever for your back. Do not use it often, but only when you feel pain in your back. However, it would be better to discuss this with your doctor, who prescribed the medicine. For the slightest problem or question having to do with sports, seek help from a specialist. I think you should have told the doctor correctly that you are an athlete and use sports medicine. Then you would have had peace of mind.
Get healed up before you worry about working out….if you have to just rest stretch to recover then do that first…the gym will always be there dude…take some advise from an old wise owl…if it takes a few days or a few weeks , get yourself physically healed and ready to hit it hard in the gym again, tryin to “ work through “ the pain is a gamble…just take the time to heal n get back at it when your 100%….

I sure wouldn't take one and then go lift. Probably just setting yourself up for injury that way and you will also lose the whole muscle/mind connection. As far as interacting with AAS, no issues there.
It will have no effect on muscle building. It changes no synthesis process nor blocks any amino process. They simply act on the nervous system or by relaxing “h” band in the muscle (think myosin and actin). As long as you’re able to contract fully in the gym it will have no change. The drug doesn’t cause a person not to contract when necessary. It’s caused by relaxing it when not used.
What you need to be careful of, is furthering injury due to lack of feeling when lifting or thinking something isn’t already injured and continuing to push past it. You’ll have a higher likelihood of pushing too far and causing further injury.
Rustyhooker^^^^^^agree! Ask dr if a physical therapist is under the plan if needed.
