Can gear alone Aggervate a sore muscle?

[black sheep]

My buddy has had a on and off muscle pain in his upper back (Inside the shoulder blade) for a couple years. He just started a Cycle about 4 weeks ago and the pain in that muscle is MUCH worse now. He haas been trying to avoid working it. My question, could the gear be "imflaming" it, and is it possible it will subside when he is off..

Gear adds pressure to the muscle and if theres some nerve struck it gets worse. Has he tried deca ?
