Sever Back Problems---- Test-Deca Cycle
First off, Im dead serious when I say this is "for a friend" lol.
My buddy is 26, 5'9 and 208 at 14-16% jacked man. Sat around 185 prior to cycles. First was test E at 500mg/wk for 12 weeks. This one is 750mg test and 400mg deca, 6.5 weeks in.
First cycle was flawless, so of course he "needed more." This one has been great so far except now he's expierencing lower back pain and claims its on one side only but that he didnt pull anything either. This guy is a Marine and says the pain is so bad he can barely make into work and can hardly lift at all.
My first thoughts were that he was pushing himself too hard with high weight and the deca might have been masking some issues until now, my .02.
Anyway, he went to urgent care the other day and they gave him a steroid patch, muscle relaxer and perks. Day 3 of meds and says he feels the same. I asked him what all hes taking and this is what I gathered.
Says if it doesnt get any better, hes going to quit the cycle, not sure what kind of impact that would have. Says he gets 8 hours sleep every night.
Test, Deca, WAY too much AI imo 1mg adex EOD, creatine, and taurine.
What are you guys thinking about this? Any insight? I told him I "knew some guys," and would look into it.

Could be disc/sciatic problem. Not from juice...
Most likely its kidney stones. ive had that problem before multiple times it was real bad. like wouldnt pass it was 7-8mm had a hemotoma and had a tube in my back for the whole summer. just be careful.
You know I had something similar happen to me about 18 months ago. I was at home playing on the floor in my kids room and my back stared hurting so bad I couldn't get up. I went a couple of days with horrible pains before I went to the ER. They didn't find anything and sent me home, where the pains got worse. Went to a urologist and turned out it was a kidney stone. The pain was in my back just above my right hip, and reverberated down my abs into my groin. Worst damn thing I have ever felt. If he has pain anywhere in that generates area it couldn't hurt to see a uro.
Thanks for the feedback, saw him yesterday and he said it is much better. Hitting the gym tomorrow after taking a week off. Said he had to have help getting out of bed.
Since he is doing better, I would assume its safe to say we can cross kidney stone off the list?
Has he had blood work done? I've crashed my e2 and have had that bad back pain. It was right at the hips. Made it hard to walk and almost impossible to train. I would get blood work done and then continue the doctor route if it's not e2 because it could be something structural.
Word, that was my advice to him. I'll pass the second opinion on. Thanks for the feedback. That sounds exactly like what he has done.
Thats a ton of adex..Could have really messed up his pancreas depending on how well he was staying hydrated. Too much estrogen control drugs can really mess you up. Large amounts of arimidex have been know to cause severe pancreatitis and Aromasin has more side effects. Thats why bloods are so crucial, you can not be taking stuff you do not need or you will pay sooner or later. As a fellow Marine Veteran I hope he gets better and learns from his mistake.
Thanks brother, I'll pass it on.
sounds like he needs to get an mri or something.
That's what I said, but he keeps saying he didnt tear or mess anything up. He's blaming the drugs is the gist of it.
idk man your back is a tricky thing, you can tweak it without even knowing and then not have any pain until a couple days later. no bullshit i fucked my back up one time by sneezing too hard lol.
More than happy to fetch more information as needed.
