I have bursitis in my shoulder and an ac joint that loves to come out of place at least once every year. So I see a pain management specialist every month who gives me steroid shots to ease the pain, and has me on hydrocodone 10/325, xanaflex, and now oxycodone 20mg 2xd. I have heard that opiates prevent building mass, is this true?
In the past 22 months i have gone from 236lb 28%bf,,, to 192lb 9%bf. my workouts and my nutrition are spot on. 300g protein ed/150gcarb ed/75g fat ed(3day split)-then on every 4th day its 300g of protein and carbs with 75g fat. I am trying to lean out and get a little tighter for a photo shoot in 8 weeks> (im rambling now) although i just finished a 12 week bulk where i gained 12lb ironically, but feel like i should be growing more.
any ideas are welcomed,,

anti inflammatorys can inhibit some growth, not sure about the others

Yes, opiates lower test and increase prolactin. Not something you want if you're looking to pack on some mass.
