Lower Back / Kidneys
I know I hate reading long posts so I’m gonna try to keep this as short but as detailed as possible. I’ve been experiencing lower back pain for about three weeks now. At first I thought I may have pulled something, but now I’m leaning more towards my kidneys (peeing dark cloudy urine past couple days). It’s gotten so bad that I have to use a vibrating heat pad at night to get comfortable.
After one of my first few cycles I had some issues where it burned when I peed. The doctor ran my urine and said I had excessive protein spilling over into my kidneys and if I didn’t stop what I was doing it would ultimately resort in me having to have dialysis (I assumed she was trying to scare me off juice).
I am only 6 weeks into my Test/Deca/EQ cycle. Things are tight at the moment and I had to drop my insurance so I’m trying not to go to the Dr.
If you were in my position would you scrap this cycle and come off to see if things got better? I’d hate to waste this cycle only on a pulled muscle, but my gut tells me it’s internal. Should I go back to my TRT dosage…could I still run the EQ up to week 16?
My health is my first concern over wasted gear. Thanks guys.

Up your water intake until you're peeing clear and eat your protein not drink it.
spartanI had pains on my side around the lower rib bone and lower back so bad it was hard for me to sleep. I thought for sure it was my liver or kidneys. I was freaking out. I went to the doctor and come to find out I had a pinched nerve that was shooting pain to my lower back and side.
i have the same problem been about 3 years i get a pain around my lower rib on the right side. Sometimes in the front lower rib cage sometimes in the back but most the time in the middle of my lower rib cage. I had all types of test run blood, MRI, Ultra Sounds and everything is normal. I do have lower back problems i have a pinched nerve from a car accident when i was younger. What kind of test did they run to figure out it was a pinched nerve?
Terephthalic Pt...A lot of my back pain came from really tight hamstrings. I started stretching my hamstrings every day and no I have no more lower back pain.
When you're on steroids especially your hammies will lock up. Try stretching for a month. If you can touch the floor and it hasn't gotten any better though then that's probably not the problem.
It was in my case though. It's so nice not to have back pain anymore. Plus now I'm super flexible. I always stretch touching the floor with my palms in front of the ladies. They always have to try and outdo me which gives me a great view of their ass!
Bro do you drink alcohol on cycle even a few pints a week ? Or use creatine ? Energy drinks ? Whats your sodium intake like ? Do you ever slack on your diet and have takeaways ? How much water do you drink per day ? You should add aloe vera juice,cranberry juice and green tea 3-4 times per day make the tea extra strong leave the tea bag in for a bit i don,t even take mine out.are you taken liv 52 or milk thistle ? What shade is your piss like yellow or gold or brown ? And last are you using a AI and whats your doses on AI,test,deca,eq ? Also whats your cycle history ? I know thats a shit load of question but it will help narrow it down.
I do not drink alcohol at all. Not even beer...I do not use creatine on cycle. I do drink alot of energy drinks & coffee by the pot. I aim for very low sodium. Pretty much consistant on diet. I drink at least a gallon of water per day. Piss had been a dark golden brown, but just went to the head & it was lighter yellow & trasnsparent this time. Not using an AI as of yet....Test 750 Deca 375 Eq 625. This would be my 5th cycle.
Energy drinks and a pot of coffee a day is a great way to put extra strain on the kidneys. I'd look to upping your water intake to 1.5 gallons/day, or cut way back on the coffee.
Well we have cleared that up then hmmm its not looking to good bro got to be onest like.over time no matta what your genes are or how fit you are we all get run down at some point.if you add 5 cycles into the mix and super high protein diet and trt thats going to put a strain on the liver/kidneys maybe your body just needs a rest and to drop down to its normal state again.did you say you have used tren before on a review page ? And also how much time do you leave before starting another cycle weeks or months ? You could try dropping to trt dose and i know its not what your wanting to here but it mite be for the best stick to that for 8-12 month realy let your body recover.while your off you should get some private blood work done on your kidneys and liver plus full hormone panal and if you have a bad result for kidneys/liver test then i would come off now.then i would wait 8 week where your bodys off cycle do the same again see if its got better.you can get them cheap just if you find the rite spot bro you don,t need to go docs for them.
had the same thing for a week. I thought my liver and kidney were fucked up. It was like a side stitch all day Long. I kept it warm for a week and it was gone as it came. I think i just got a chill down there
WithdrawlI've always been paranoid about what I thought was kidney pain. Turns out it was lower back pumps./tightness. Deep massage, taurine at 6g a day, and 8g of potassium a day and it relieves it considerably when on cycle. Also I'd have the same problem if my blood pressure got real high. A good general rule is, if a heating pad and rest makes it better, then it isn't kidneys. Still, you should have some blood work done to test your kidney function.
RustyhookerCranberry juice helps kidney issues. Gotta be safe bro
How much protein are you taking in on a daily basis? And your not peeing dark colors this time but your lower back hurts?.. If I was peeing dark colors I would def stop.. It could be a muscle but your health is more important than a cycle.. You have many more opportunities to do other cycles.. If you fuck up now there won't be ANY cycles for you down the road.. I would try to get this whole kidney thing straightened out and lay off anything that would put excessive stress on them for a while..
Man if anything I am way under what I should be consuming as far as protein for this cycle. I rely on food sources more than powder...and yes I have noticed dark cloudy urine the past 2 days or so...that's what leads me to believe it's kidneys.
I was just checking to see if you were going over kill on the protein.. I've known guys who practically live off of protein shakes.. Stay away from red meats, soft drinks, caffeine, alcohol, excessive sodium and drugs that would stress kidneys or liver unless you absolutely need those meds for the time being.. Find some 100% cranberry juice and drink plenty of water to help flush everything out... I hear lemon juice in warm water helps as well.. never tried the lemon juice myself though..
I know that's not what you wanted to hear but if your thinking long term for health and gains it's best to lay off them for a bit..
Yeah bro. Common sense and my gut is telling me to come off. I just wanted some input from my brothas. Thanks.
