3 weeks into cycle...getting lower back ache/pain.

[Vascular Freak]

I am 3 weeks into 400mg test e, 500mg ew, 50mg winstrol oral ed, 2.5 mg femera, and 25mcg t3. I was taking a high dose of cranberry extract and had no pain at all. I ran out of cranberry extract a week ago and haven't gotten anymore yet because I didn't really think it was that effective.

Now a week later I am getting a dull ache on the right side of my lower back. Is this caused from stress on my kidneys? What are the symptoms of kidney trouble? Should I be really concerned or just increase water intake and get back on cranberry extract?

I drink over 2 gallons water per day and have been eating close to 400 grams of protein daily, low carbs, mod efa's. Should i be alarmed or is this common?

I am concerned about this and would appreciate it if you all could educate me on this.

what is your water intake like.....sounds like kidney problems for sure......could be the oral winny...

i agree with drrman it is the oral winny..everyone ive talked to said they can feel it in their sides and kidneys.. so im pretty sure it is that.. try and get some inject winny next time or drink it

just to point his out to you, drinking the winny IS oral winny bro.......theres no difference in drinking liquid winny or eating winny tabs

hey bro 2 gallons is a bit high for water in take the norm is one once per body pound thats on A>S other wise its 1/2 once per body pound i would say depending on your size 2 gallons of water, you could be stressing your kidneys but when taking orals with the 17 aa its the liver you should worry about

i am about three weeks into a test e and var cycle and im noticing here and there my lower back cramps up, the muscles are like getting pumped. i couldn't run one morning because of it. so i've been doing alot more stretching and situps and doing my inversion table.

 

[kmoe42]

haha my bad drrman but isnt it only 67% as effective as injecting everyday

hey bro since you are into your third week are you doing dead lifts..? if so it could be the lower lumbar muscle getting pumped i remember them pumps and when you start to build that lumbar up Its the worst pain for days in the sides

I am confused myself as to whether it could be lower back muscle strain/pain/pump from doing heavy legs which consisted of deads, squats, and shrugs later in the day. I did legs 2 days ago which is when the pain periodic aching started.

I don't want to panic about it because I have noticed similar feelings on previous cycles. I have increased my protein intake as well which I was thinking also could have something to do with it.

I guess I will keep my water intake the same and start up the cranberry extract again and see whats happens. obviously if it becomes evident that something is wrong I will have to see a doctor.

I eat very clean, get plenty of rest, and don't drink any alcohol or anything. I would be shocked if my clean lifestyle along with a fairly "low dose" cycle would give me such troubles.

Any more opinions? Ever bit helps ease my mind.

Is it your low back or your flank.....the flank is the area of your outer back, right and left somewhat even with your naval....the flank pain would signal kidney pain more than low back....

bump??

Well i had this pain about 5 days mine was generalized low back right side greater than the left(felt like an annoying ache) Im running 80mg Tbolo a day with high protein and about 2 gallons/day. i had a feeling it was me kidney, i just knew it wasnt low back pain, it was internal.

i got the cranberrhy extract, along with this stuff you get at CVS(made to help painfull urinary tract problems)called Uristat.

I took both for 2 days and layed off my diet, cut back the protein, and incorpurated alot of salads.

now i feel great, i was putting too much stress on my kidneys and they were telling me they needed a break. FYI the urisat makes you pee dark orange/red so if you decide to take this dont get freaked out like i did the first time i took a leak

on my first cycle and had same issues running winny. I knew it was a strain it wa internal. more of an ache than a pain. took out the winny at 6 weeks though and will give my body a couple weeks rest from that then start anavar at 40mg/day.
