Using Steroids to help an injury Question

[Newguy2087]

Hey everyone,

I am recovering from a herniated disc that was crushing my sciatic nerve. I am back at work and wear a back support at work and at the gym as it helps big time. I still have mild pain somedays, stretching definitley helps.

My question is, Has anyone here taken steroids mainly to help build up your back, core etc after an injury like that? My doctor told me to build up my back and core in the gym so I was wondering if steroids ( I have taken before) would assist in helping strengthen an area to help/help prevent future injuries and get a boost in the strengthening and building of the core and back?

I know it will do it but mainly looking for people who have done this with this specific injury

thanks

Been there, done that, tried that. Herniated L3 & L4. Ruptured L5/S1. 2 separate surgeries. LOTS of sciatica experience.

Only thing I would suggest taking is TB-500. It's not a steroid . You dont want to use any steroids because you will end up re injuring yourself most likely. TB-500 is good at promoting healing and helping tendons and joints.

Agree 100% with lovbyts. Absolutely no AAS. It doesn't work for what you are needing. In addition to the TB500 I'd add in some MSM and the old stand bys of glucosamine and chondroitin. Take your time and heal well. Best of luck.

I cannot see your signature Time Roman

TB-500, where is the best place to get it? Its not a AAS so im assuming it would be easy to purchase?
