Back rehab

[gulfcoast]

Got a friend who suffered a back injury while she was deployed overseas. She is still having problems with it and it continues to affect her workouts, cardio etc.

Docs say nothing further they can do, just needs time and it will get better.

Her question to me was would low dose GH and/or Var help in healing. My thoughts are yes, especially the GH but not sure what type of screening the military does for PEDs.

Thoughts?

The military doesn't test for gear without cause i.e a specific complaint. I doubt they would ever test for GH.

I've had two spine surgeries. Disabled for 2 years. Low dose long cycle and shit tons of therapy got me back to 90% and lifting 6 days a week. Doctors told me to give up and get a spinal cord stimulator and forget about physical activity. Pilates and core work are monumental in back injury recoveries. I spent years with traditional therapists. Found a therapist with a Pilates focus, within 3 weeks I made more improvement than I ever had post op. Back injuries are the worst, western medicine fixes the skeleton only, if you core is fucked your back ain't getting better no matter how much a doc does.

More hand grenades please.

I told her very slow and steady, that's it's a long process.

Thanks for the info regarding testing - had no clue how that works in the military.
