Couple of days ago, I got a sharp back pain from just sitting in a car, same place where I was injured 3 years ago. This pain has occurred thrice before during the span, and upon getting a MRI, turns out I have L4-L5 , L5-S1 dehydrated posterior and bilateral bulging disc. Am usually very active and this injury has
again put a limit on my life. Last time i got this injury a year ago, I wasn't able to sit or walk for 3 weeks atleast. So for a year, I've worked a lot on my back flexibility and RoM to build the strength necessary to keep working out. However, this time during the pain, I haven't lost mobility and atleast I can get away with the essentials. Walking is still awkward with small steps, sideways. The MRI also indicates muscle spasm in the lumbar region.

Am 25 years old, 220 lbs on scale with 18% bf. I've decided to solve this problem yet again with exercise, however am considering taking help from AAS to not only recover faster, but in a way I haven't been able to do before.

From what I've read, Deca/Test-e , Boldenone (equipoise), IGF-1 LR3, PGF seem to be good candidates to help in recovery. I know there haven't been any research on discs and AAS as such, but even if I can get 10% better using AAS, am willing to try. On IGF-1, have seen a research report that stops degeneration of discs almost completely.

My physio says that I should'nt lift weights or if possible, skip gym for the next 6 months, which is not acceptable to me. I'd happily stop lifting, but I can still do a lot of other exercises that will completely isolate my back from any
weight, even my body weight. I know I can't lift, but atleast I can pull. Pulling vertically is almost same as physiotherapy's traction method.

Your opinion would be very valuable.

Thanks
