xfactor and joint issue

I am on day 24 of a 50 day X-Factor and Activate Xtreme cycle. I have had some SI joint issues in the past and done two other X-Factor cycles. But recently my SIJ over the past week my SI joint has really been bothering me, I do not think I did anything specifically to bother it but it is always a possiblity.

Well I have been going to my chiropractor again and he was feeling around (no homo) and said that my SIJ is extremely inflammed and I should take 800 mg of Ibuprofen 3x a day for two-three weeks and take a week off from lifting.

Since nSAIDS are counterproductive to XF I am assuming I should just stop the cycle all together and preserve the second bottle and the rest of my Activate Xtreme for future use... or should I just continue taking it? Any advice is appreciated... I am just a little pissed because workouts have been going extremely well recently until this...

Cliffs:
Midway thru XF and Act Ext cycle
SI joint inflammation
Dr said to take nSAIDS and time off
What do I do?

Thanks
and sorry for the wall o text
 
I would drop the xfactor for a few days and see how it pans out before resorting to nsaids...
Keep mobile, but avoid applying direct stress to it in the mean time.

You can still isolate other areas and keep them moving too.
If/when you wanna try xfactor again, try halving the dose?
 
I dunno I would try and treat the cause before the pain, the pain is there so you don't do more damage. I would only resort to pain management under a well plain rehab plan... (IE you know the thing that is causing you pain is not doing any damage)
 
Im really glad Ive never got joint issues while on XF, sucks that nsaids reduce its efficiency as that is what most of us would use when we have joint pains.

With that said, cissus is good stuff for joint probs and I hear it stacks well with XF for hypertrophy.
 
bump on the Cissus. I'd try this route out before the NSAIDS.

I am already taking Controlled Labs Orange Triad which has a joint complex, but IDK if I mentioned that the SI joint problem has been around before, it has just begun acting up again with XF.

Not sure if that changes peoples advice, but the doctor said I need to take an anti inflammatory 3x a day he suggested 800 mg Ibuprofen as well as icing 6-8 times a day.

It hurts a lot today too lol :sick:
 
Well its about 10 days later and I feel a lot better. I am thinking about starting the XF again...

Would it be worth it to just restart my cycle for the last 25 days or so... or should I just wait a while and do a full one over again...
