    Only in the fact that if you did a cycle you may have lifted to heavy to soon before your tendons were really ready and you put to much pressure on your back either by using to much weight or lifting incorrectly causing a mild herniation putting pressure on the sciatica. When it flairs up use ice. I have had my give me problems many times over the years. Sometimes it takes using ice 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off 5x in a row for 2 days for the pain to mostly go away and then it's even slower from there, can take a few days to go 100% away. If it really wont go get a prescription for Prednisone but watch out for water weight gain side effects, you dont want to use it longer than you need to. usually 5 days.

    Try the ice first even though it's been a while. I mean freeze that area. lol Make it uncomfortable cold but it will feel good after a while. When sleeping put a pillow or 2 under your knees to help relieve back pressure and make sure your bed is not to soft.

    if anything the water retention for testosterone would help your sciatic pain by cushioning the disc. You are hurting worse because you are training harder using the steroids and probably doing exercises you should not be doing with a bulging disc!
