Anybody ever use anabolic steroids?

[mrdevious]

You know the type, the kind that body builders like arnold swarzeneggar used. I've been considering taking them, but only for a week or two.

See, I'm not out to get huge muscles and impress anybody, this is for medicinal purposes. I have 3 injuries, 2 to my back, one to my neck, and I've been in constant pain for over 4 years now. Not one form of treatment has been usefull and I won't seem to heal, so i figured if my body began an excellerated protein synthesis, perhapse I could finally heal these injuries. They produce fast muscle growth after all, and all my problems are muscular (as far as I know), so maybe they could help me heal the muscles.

I know there's all the talk of man-tits and shriveling testicles and the such, but from what I've read that only seems to happen from long-term use. I know it's a bit of a risk, but I'll try anything, because I'm SICK AND TIRED of being in pain every day all the time!

So, if anybody has any helpfull advice about them I'd be very gratefull. I'd especially like to know how people get a hold of them, considering I've never heard of a drug dealer giving steroids out.

Maybe you sohuld talk to a doctor to find out if steroids will help your condition, they could make it worse.

Man, I'm not an expert on steroids, but I know doctors can prescribe them to their patients legally. In fact, I know of several people that have been put on roids to help them with their illness. :rasta:

i've been given medrol to aid in nerve pain like from a pinched nerve in the shoulder/neck and it works very well. it takes a day or so before relief begins but the 1st time i was given it i was amazed and thought it was a miracle drug! i've also been given anabolic's after back surgeries to help speed up recovery time...which i don't know if it helped much there as i have nothing to compare it to...both were in pill form but i forget the name of the steroid i got after surgeries...the pinched nerve pill came in what's called a "med-pack". i hear it also helps with some skin rashes/disorders...but they're also not for long-term use. many side effects can happen with regular use so if your pain is chronic and so bad it interupts your daily routine you ought to think about opiates. the risks are minimalized under a pain dr's control and opiates are far less harmful on our bodies.

I'm fairly educated in the area, and have done 3 cycles myself. It's not going to help heal your muscles in the manner you are describing, and using them for a week or two isn't going to do anything either. Man-tits, or gyno is easily prevented with the use of drugs like nolvadex, and your nuts shrinking is only temporary, and to such a small degree I have never noticed it, nor did my girlfriend. This happens because your testicles stop producing test because your body is in a surplus of it because of the drugs.

oh man, it seems the drug-war crusaders will lie even about steroid abuse. they make it like if you take steroids you're guaranteed to turn into meatloaf in fightclub lol.

actually yeah, I would really like to get an opiate painkiller but thus far the strongest things the doctors have prescribed are flexeril (and I'm not sure what's in that, but it gets me kind of stoned) and recently this pill called "arthrotec" (chemical name: diclofenac sodium and misoprsotol) but it made me extremely ill. unfortunately I've asked about steroid injections to the doctor and they just dismiss it right away. however with our shitty Canadian medical system, doctors are told to avoid prescribing costly treatments unless absolutely necessary (like your life depends on it). in fact I still can't get an MRI, and there's only 1 specialist in this whole town of 160,000 people who can order one, and he wouldn't fuckin do it because the waiting line's too long!:mad:

yes, in case you're wondering I'm mad, as the medical system here makes me.

I understand what you mean, as far as healing a muscle your body should be able to do that on it's own, the increase in test would allow you to build muscle at a faster pace giving you're eating over your bodies bmr in calories, meaning eating more than you burn, you could build new muscle. But it's really too hard for me to say for sure how it would help you heal, I'd ask a doc.

I am currently on my first cycle (or phase). I have done two weeks so far and have four left before I complete it.

Though I'm not an expert, you aren't going to see the help that you are looking for in just a week.

As far as getting them, most people get them from someone at a gym. I have several friends with whom I work out with who use and it's a pretty common thing in most gyms, more than what most people would think.

You don't have to worry about bitch tits or all of the other horrendous side effects if you aren't doing them long.

Your best bet it to do a google search for steroid FAQ lists.

I have a friend (who is also a big supplier) who actually tore his bicep and pectorial musles this past week and when he went to the doctor, ironically they suggested steroids to make it heal.

Hey mrdevious,

I'm no doctor, but I strongly suggest you get to the bottom of this before screwing around with steroids. 4 years of constant muscle pain sounds like something more serious. Have you had spinal issues ruled out?

ure thinking of a different kind of steroids. hes talking about anabolic steroids which is basically horse hormones which give u increased energy and stamina which makes it easier to build lots muscle mass. the steroids u r thinking of r sterilizers hence the name steroid. they give them to people that are allergic to antibiotics such as penicillin or omxycillyn. when i got strept thoat i had to take them because the antibiotics they gave me didnt work.

Hey graymatter.

Yes, I do need to get to the bottom of this, but the doctors seem to be unable to provide me with a decent answer. Multiple X-rays have shown nothing wrong, hence why I wanted to get the long sought after MRI.
anyway, I'll be more specific about the injuries, hoping somebody recognizes them.

My low back I injured in Judo over 4 years ago. I was only 16 at the time, and all the other students were either 8 years old and down, or 30 years old and up (with only blue or black belts, I was a white belt). So I only fought the huge-ass guys much more skilled than I. I strained my low back from weeks of having to throw huge guys to the floor, and getting thrown and slammed into the floor myself. eventually the soft-tissue damage became too bad and I had to quit, spending the next month barely able to walk. nowadays my low back's actually not too bad, but I have my good and bad days.

My Upper back I injured in Aikido, which I attempted to join 1 year after judo, in one night of practice. we were practicing a technique in which the oppontent takes a swing at you, and you arm-lock and throw him onto the floor. So we spent about an hour doing this and I landed on the same vertebrae in my upper back about a hundred times. by the next day I was in horrible pain, and today it still hurts like hell.

My neck, probably my most painfull injury, was from a chiropractor. I was seeing him about my back and mentioned I had a stiff neck that day. so he rushed into giving me a neck adjustment, which felt fine when he did it. then as the day went on my neck started to hurt more and more. the next day at school I was having more and more trouble breathing, I went to the office, asked to call my doctor, and dropped to the floor hyperventilating as my vision went blurry. they hooked me up to oxygen and called the ambulance.
The doctor in the hospital said the neck adjustment messed up my neck so that the muscle swelled up and cut off the blood to my brain. By that time my neck was in awful pain and I spent a month in a neck brace. I'm still in a crap-load of pain today, in fact right now my shoulder and right side of my neck (it changes sides) feels like a knife is in it.

*phew* sorry about making that so long, but that's all of it. So, anybody have ideas what could be physically wrong with me?

The shots work best, str8 into your system. Take a spike 2 the arm or the ass. Pills take forever to kickin. Anytime I have received any type of steroid, its to the gym, lol. Good pain relief for my lower back. Bol 2 ya mrdevious. Hope you find that pain relief you seek.
Peace.

No offense, but if this is your first cycle you sould be running test, and if you're using a long ester like cyp or eth then 6 weeks isn't going to do you a damn thing except add some water weight which will be lost afterwards. You could do a 6 week cycle of test prop, which I doubt you are using because it has to be injected eod(every other day). Send me a private message if you need some help, and I hope you are using test because it is a staple, a must in every cycle.

Staple first cycle is test eth or cyp @ 500mg a week, 2 shots a week on monday and thrusday. Post cycle therapy started 2 weeks after your last injection, nolva or clomid @ 40mg a day for 3-4 weeks.

You're kinda of right. Shots work best because it's not nearly as hard on your liver, your liver has to process orals.

And kick in time depends on what ester you're using. Orals like d-bol, winny etc.. kick in almost immediately. Longer acting ester like test cyp or eth take 2-3 weeks to kick in, and shorter esters like test prop will kick in much sooner, hence why cyp and eth only need to be injected 2 times per week and prop needs to be shot every other day.
