quick ?
i found that my current back pain was diagnosed by x-ray to be spondylolysis... its a stress fracture of the lower back from pole-vaulting and lifting weights... they put me on flexeril 10mg a day, and lortabs 5/500 every 4-6 hours... <font color="red"> IS THIS IN ANY WAY GOING TO HURT MY GAINS, OR MAKE ME LOOSE WEIGHT....</font> i know that i can't lift lower body, but i am still lifting upper body heavy with slight modifications to protect my lower back (placing feet on bench while bench pressing etc...)
so far i have just mainly felt kind of goofy when taking these medications i guess which is normal, but i have stayed strong on my hardgaining diet of about 270gprotein a day, and around 570g carbs... thank you in advance

Re: quick ?
man they put you on Flexeril which is a muscle relaxant. this will make it very difficult for you to lift weights. on top of that they gave you Lortab which is the same thing as vicodin. it is an opioid and is very addictive. just make sure you dont find yourself driving to the docs to fill another script for you. Get off the meds as SOON as possible and find other ways to ease pain.

Re: quick ?
Yes, these meds suck... [img]/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] i'm trying to ease off by substituting a decent dose of ibuprofen (800mg) every other day.. but back pain sucks too, can't wait to get over this and have a decent lower body day again.. thank you though
