PCT Back/Spine/Leg/Nerve Pain

[Catbug159]

So I finished my cycle and started pct. Everything was going great until the start of the 3rd week. I ended up getting this weird lower back/spine pain which then spread out to my right leg like it was a nerve or something. I've been stretching in the mornings which helps but it's still lingering 6 days after. I took a few weeks off from training so I know it's not from lifting and it really only started when I was doing pct. Is this pain normal on a standard nolva/clomid dosage? I read about bone pain from clomid but after searching I didn't find too many hits about this.

I'm sure the pain will subside in 2 more weeks but curious if this is normal or not. Hopefully this thread will help others who experience this.

I gotta be honest: speaking as a fella that had an L5-S1 spinal fusion with Instrumentation last April, what you describe sounds like sciatica....and that has NOTHING to do with your cycle and/or PCT, and everything to do with your back and spinal column. How old are you, may I ask? You should seriously consider seeing a doctor, and possibly even getting an X-ray and/or MRI. You MAY have inadvertently slipped or crushed a disk, which is now pinching your spinal column and causing sciatica...

I'm still young, 25, but it never occurred to me that it could be something else. Last August I injured myself doing squats so I completely stopped performing those and dead lifts. In the mornings it was just sore but after stretching the pain was non existent. After a few weeks of that I jumped on a test e cycle and never noticed any pain. After doing some research about sciatica it sounds a lot like what I'm dealing with (pain on one leg with lower back issues). It's strange because I wasn't having any issues after the cycle. By 3.5 weeks of pct I had to completely stop because of the pain. After stopping the next day my back/nerves felt a lot better but not where it was previously. I'm coming up on my 7th day of no pct and it's feeling better. I'm just not sure if it takes time to develop issues with pct as I didn't make any other changes to my lifestyle.

I appreciate the input and if my back is still out of wack by Friday I'll be sure to get x-rays/professional opinion.

I was 28 when I first had back trouble. Hopefully it is temporary. Take it easy on squats or any lifts that could aggravate it.

What where your dosages?

It was a standard 50/50/50/50 clomid and 40/40/20/20 nolva. I woke up yesterday feeling completely fine. No back issues or soreness. I guess I just have some reaction with those dosages. I'll know for sure on the next cycle's pct. Hopefully this thread will help others when doing a Google search.

I cannot urge you enough to be careful with your back! I HOPE it's not anything serious! Please keep us apprised of your situation, and if you end up seeing a doctor!
