Aspirin is a poor BP med. I've yet to find a double-blind peer reviewed study showing it has significant effects on BP in an athletic population. It reduces viscosity, not a major determinant of BP. If you know of evidence I don't, please show me, since I work with enhanced BBs. The location...

True muscle pain is relatively easy to distinguish from joint pain; palpation of the muscle belly will reproduce pain if muscle, shearing force at the joint line will reproduce symptoms if joint or ligamentous. There are other possibilities, that's why I like 45 minutes to do a full evaluation...

You should probably get your blood pressure checked, ideally right when you get the symptoms. Lots of guys have good BP when they aren't moving around 300#. I wrote a good article on...
