Are there any AAS that would beneficial to use whilst having corticosteroid injections?
Basically i have a bad back in detail i have explained this in past posts so briefly i had microdiscectomy base of my spine L5 S1 and as a knock on effect of having a weak lower back for a long time theres now a substantial im-balance of musclature on one side of my back to the other, you can see disproportion on my left hand side on my profile pic and i was on gear then and didnt know i had anything but a "sore back", i now have curvature of the upper back and as a result i get severe muscle spasms as a result, i have been prescribed by my gp all sports of pain relieving, nerve pain suppressants and anti-muscle spasm drugs of which i have now been on diazepam for a couple of months, so they want me off them and see cortisone as a better option so MRI scan is being arranged to see where the best site to inject into will be. I know cortisone shots have sides just like anabolics i believe it can lower collegen synthesis, bone density and cause skin problems im sure ive heard of people using AAS alongside corticosteroids and am just having a probe for info so if anyone has any experience or knowledge on this matter i would appreciate any input, i have a cycle planned to aid in my back recovery i do stress when i am ready so give me months how many i dont know but i have at hand plenty of pharma test e, Equipoise and anavar, i am seriously tempted to run an oral only Var short course (never thought id say that) as ive lost a lot of weight over the past few months and my back is a mess and i know anavar was designed for a number of reasons originally and one of them reasons was for back problems ive had to stop myself from eating them i want to be responsible amd do rite but if im missing oit on an edge for aiding recovery i want that knowledge which equals power lol

AASs for recovery is a double edged sword. I have seen people use them to get a boost of lagging muscles but it seems in many cases it leads mostly to further aggrivation of injuries. For that reason I usually try to steer people away from it. My advice to to stay off for now and focus on getting a full recovery with attention to rebuilding dexterity and stabilization. These things can be trained very effectively without gear.
Just a quick question too. Why did they have you on diazapam for a back injury?
It was lower back mate and the disc herniated/ ruptured and the contents of the disc had compressed the sciatic nerve thus my calf, thigh and buttocks lol would go into painfull and sometimes prolonged muscle spasm which stopped me doing much at all physical, and as i said because ive had problems with my back for a couple of years (only got serious past year) my upper back has adapted to strain/posture issues so i have curvature between my shoulders and there is more strain on one side than the other so i get terrible and constant spasms and tweeks which on a number of occasions has litterally put me on the deck and i cant get up for a while till the spasms subside it is very painfull thus the diazepam as it is an anti-spasm drug it relaxes muscles(i had originally been on a drug called baclofen and the side effects were eye twitches and intense sweating so dr... im getting re-referred now to spinal care unit soon for the specifics an MRI scan arranged with a view to having a corticosteroid injection. I am in no rush to do a cycle in view to fix this problem as such but after i recover till the point i can do what i can do and when i can do it i will. Im just looking for answers to my questions i am going to follow my physio as laid out by my physiotherapist she want me to do exercises on gaining better mobility and strenght in the areas of which need attention, i am also swimming as advised to help recovery i stress im not doing a "cycle" as such anytime soon i just ask is there any AAS that are beneficial whilst on cortico steroids and if anyone had experience/knowledge on the subject important to me?
I know the AAS cycle i have planned for the future be it in a year 18mnths whatever it may be it will aid collegen synthesis which will be beneficial post microdiscectomy, will strengthen my skelletal/micro muscles and aid me in getting muscle back on me and bk to the best shape i can be in, its hard to be fit as a fiddle and then being a wreck doing sweet FA but recouperating and doing my exercise set by physiotherapist, walking my hounds, having the best diet i can and setting my sights forward to better times i will recover time is i suppose the overlord if you will it will determin my recovery and time and influence my actions.
