vicodin question

[b_light]

Ok guys as some of you know i have a strongman comp coming up sat. Slight problem at the moment however. I have seemed to have either pulled my calf or sprained it, what ever you want to call it but it's pretty ****ed up like my other one was a month ago. It's getting better each day but at the rate its recovering im not gonna be 100% by sat. So my plan of action right now is to take some vicodin to kill the pain enough so i can't feel it and can compete like i did not have the injury. I'm gonna tape it up real good but i don't think this is gonna cut it.

Questions is, will the vicodin adversely affect my strength performance? I'm also gonna be taking albuterol, ephedrine and caffiene pre comp. I know that the drugs are just going to mask the problem but thats not my concern as i already know that, i've been busting my ass for this comp and im doing it full stop no matter what, if i **** my leg up bad then so be it but thats the way it's gonna be. Any help appreciated guys.

That's a delicate mix with albuterol and ephedrine and caffeine.

Vicodin at a high enough dosage to mask that kind of pain could absolutely screw up your strength. Not to mention your balance. I have to take 20mgs of hydrocodone for tooth extractions or back pain. But that dose leaves me buzzed pretty nice. For a calf tear I probably would need more. I can't see being able to function on a higher dose. For some people 10mgs leaves them passed out.

All four together could actually enhance the high quite a bit. I'm not sure about this being good. A normal dose and you might be fine, but it probably won't cover the pain.

I would do ice baths on that leg twice per day for 10-15 minutes each until this weekend.

Definitely go with the ibuprofen at 800mgs every 4-6 hours and see if you can cut some of the pain/inflammation cycle.

Then your other choice if you can get it would be a kenlog shot in that area or lidocaine. For sure there is no doctor that will give you a lidocaine shot there, but if you can find other means....

Whatever you can do to mask the pain, but be alert is gonna be your best bet.

You will be fine with a little vicodin before the comp... I think the Ibuprofen is a great idea for the swelling and inflamation. Use it all the way up to the comp at 800mg doses twice or three times a day. Just take 4 regular advil to get 800mg's. I take a lortab before every workout and an eca stack and I have great workouts. Just be sure to take the vicodin about one hour before your first lift in the competition. I would take 2 even if they are 10mgs. Good luck and let us know how you place. I currently hold the (state that Im in) teen bench press record and it has stood for 16 years. I pressed 405 at 17 years old and a 175lb body weight.. Good Luck..

vicodin, along with ultram, will interfere with muscular contractions. as far as short or one time use, i can't for sure say. but as i was a heavy user, i undoubtedly noticed the affects.....

vicodin really isnt a rec drug is its prescribed bro. It has a pourpous, and if its tooken by the dose recommended, its fine and not rec.

Well i took 500mg paracemtol and 800mg ibuprofen and it helped quite a bit for right now but not enough for me to be pushing 100% on the leg. Last night i took a 7.5mg vic and it killed the pain pretty well and i only had a slight buzz for like 10 mins so i think i'll take it 1-2 hrs prior to the comp along with 800mg ibu to keep inflammation down. And i take the albuterol e and c 1 hr prior as this is the best timing.
