pain meds.....

what do you guys do with pain? How do you deal with pain?

These questions are while on and off cycle.

Ill take advil for headaches only. If I wake up with a stiff neck or something Ill take alleve.

I know that taking these are not a good idea while on cycle because your liver is doing enough work as it is. What would you take if the pain is too much? Just to clarify, Im talking about a headache. I havent hurt myself training in a very long time and the older I have gotten, Im more about form than numbers.

headaches ill take advil or motrin. even for backaches too. but if my tendonitis is acting up ill take aleve.. although nothing really works well for my tendonitis other than icing the **** out of my shoulder.. i iced it one day til the point of getting stage 1 frostbite.. that was annoying.

So were talking about everyday aspirin for headaches right?

Just wanna be sure so when I go on cycle Im not putting my liver on overload when pain comes my way.

Thanks guys!

What type of pain are you talking about? If you're talking about joints and shit like that, I take deca while on cycle, works wonders. Just gotta be ready for when that pain comes back once you stop haha. When I'm not on cycle I take 800 mg ibuprofen or 4x200 mg Advil (ibuprofen).

headache pain brother.

I just have been reading on how bad some pain killers are on your liver so I dont want to take them when I am ON cycle to do worse damage.

Oh...I get frequent headaches while on cycle...I just drink massive amounts of water and eggplant juice...usually helps.

It sounds nasty, and it kind of is the first few times you drink it, but it really does help. After a while though it just doesn't taste like anything.

lol you guys are talking about shooting gear into your ass, and your affraid to take an asprin. seriously get over it. if you are getting headaches and you are worried about taking something you should find out why your head hurts, most common reason is you are dehydrated, or you have muscle strains in your nect. so drink some water or take a hot shower. myself i take a few demeral and have a vadka redbull.

My next cycle will be spawn which is an oral ph so this is my concern about taking advil or ibuprofen...sorry if I wasnt clear...

I just ran a cycle of Epistane. I get frequent headaches, have been getting them since I was young. I was kinda worried how I would cope with them without being able to take anything with acetaminophen in it, Excedrin or Tylenol are my pain managements of choice.

I ended up taking aspirin and caffeine when one would occur. That and staying well hydrated. Worked pretty well for me.

I just picked up low dose bayer aspirin. so if I get a headache its down the hatch w/sml c.of coffee...

btw, how was the epistane?

I was very pleased with the Epi. Weight was up 12 lbs. and lost a little fat. Strength gains were very nice, put 30 on bench, squats were up 90 and deads were up 100. I was able to get an inch on the legs, 2 on the chest and around 5/8" on arms.

Only drawback that I experienced was joint pain. I have glucosamine now so hopefully that will alleviate the pain a little for next time.

Starting 3rd week of PCT and have been able to keep everything, even gone up on a few lifts.

Good luck with the Spawn, heard some good things about it.
