Back pumps are caused by what ?

[boxerjake]

By reading through several threads here i've noticed more then once the topic of back pumps and or lower back pain has come up in relation to orals such as d-bol .... I also get them from oxy ( which i did once and never will again )

My question in all of this is ... whats happening in the body which causes this and is there anything that can be taken to reduce the lower back pain or back pumps as it's more affectionatly refered to ...

Blood gorging the lower back muscles. Some people say taking Lindberg Milk Thistle helps...but it is something you will have to try yourself since everyone is differen.t

maybe from the kidneys and liver being overworked !!!! plenty of water, cranberry and some milk thistle should help out..sure did with me

No it is not the kidney or liver. It's a muscle issue not a organ issue. Your lower back is the center of the body and is used a lot in every day activities. Since it is used a lot the muscle stays tense and causes the cramps. Milk thistle is recommended by RADAR.

it just pumps up like any other muscle does on gear but just happens to be more uncomfortable than other body parts

Is'nt milk thistle more of a liver cleanser ? .. or does it serve another purpose ...

Most guys i know use liv-52 instead .. as far as the liver is concerned

I imagine a deep tissue massage would help with the lower back pump but i'm thinking it would return rather quickly so any benifit of a massage would be short lived ..

Thanx guy's ... least now i know what it is i'm dealing with

specifically it is pumps of the psoas, a deep and large muscle, which attaches to the first through fifth lumbar vertebral bodies. the increased tension on the vertebra can lead to pain. herbal diuretic products which can reduce the pumps, as well as various muscle / soft tissue release techniques, typically utilized by chiropractors and/or massage therapists, can bring relief
