Well, I've been on 12.5 ed aromasin for about 1.5 to 2 weeks, and have been experiencing terrible pain in my back. im on a 3 on 1 off split, and the pain began on the 1st day of my last 3 days. i didn't know what it was at first, and worked through it. the pain did not let up though, and added about 45 minute to my workouts, and my strength was down becaue of it. i felt like an old man, about to break.
anyway, yesterday was my last day taking aromasin, and today was the first day of my split again. i could not finish a whole set of weighted dips, so i decided to try some half way down bench presses in a power rack, with spotting pins and all. after getting the bar off the pegs, i knew from the pain in my back that if i lowered that weight, it was not going back up.
so, i scrapped today's workout. i did my calves (even the shoulder pads on the standing calf machine hurt intensely), did my cardio, and went home. i decided that if there was ever a time to take some time off, this is it. i plan to take off tomorrow and friday, and hit the gym again on saturday. I am not going off my diet or pussing out in any other way. just 2 days off from the gym.
my question is for anyone familiar with this type of pain from aromasin. do you think i'll be good to go by saturday? i've been trying to find an answer, and the cancer websites say the pain STARTS to subside after a week, but can take a month or more to go away. i'm sure these people have been on a lot longer than me , though.
any help will be appreciated.
