I could not even stand up at that point due to lack of food and water (3-5oz of water and 1/2 a 6" sub per day), my personal assistant at the time came to my house and took me to the ER to get fluids. I hated the way the pills made me feel, never enjoyed them like others do so once I realized how bad it was I quit cold turkey and never took another. Stopping the pills was easy as they made me feel like shit, dealing with pain sucked but I grew up doing extreme sports for almost 20 years (Age 6-26 every wknd was doing something around the country) which is why I have so many injuries so pain is nothing new. Still deal with injuries but using gym as a way to prevent some of them such as building up core to prevent a disc fusion in my back. This is also the reason it took so long to get to 200lbs because I keep dealing with different injuries that pop up and prevent me from going as often as I like. At times it feels like I am spending more time in hot tubs and saunas then I am lifting. Highest I got was to 195lbs.
To fix this injury issue I am working with a personal trainer and also starting to do yoga 3x per week which I hope prevents some of these injuries. I just love being active and still play sports so I guess it's part of getting old.

Yes, links or contact info isn't allowed so I edited the links. You can mention sources by name, just no contact information can be posted.
It's no biggie.
