Anabolic Matrix RX ... need some help.

DemolitionNine · 01-26-2005, 09:24 AM

Hey guys. Last week I started a bottle of Anabolic Matrix Rx. I have changed NOTHING else in my diet, or supplementation, but for some odd reason the sides of my neck are hurtin' like crazy. It didn't start until AFTER I started the Rx.

Could it just be a pinched nerve from a lift (I did some really heavy shrugs, on my back day), or does Anabolic Matrix RX effect any glands in the neck?

I have however noticed better sleep, more drive, and a better mood overall with little to no acne or side-effects. This's definitely great stuff.

I don't want to point my neck-pain at Anobolic Matrix RX... it just happened to occur shortly after starting the bottle. (with 3 pills in the evenings only).

Thanks for the help.

It's not the Anabolic Matrix RX...

Prolly from the shrugs, where is the pain?

This would be caused from training or sleeping wrong, not AMRx, or any supplement for that matter.

It happens with great pain when I try to turn my head side-to-side... like if you were looking out a blindspot in your car. It feels like someone is pinching my neck when I turn my head... especially if I look left.

I've had it happen from sleep once, but... this's lasting more than 5 days already...

.... it sux.

Like I said... I wasn't blaming it on the Ano RX... I was just wondering if any glands were affected.

Anyway, any ideas? Or any "remedies" ..

thanks.

You need a back alignment. You are sleeping wrong. I'm 95% positive. I had the same symptoms.

**Prince** · 01-26-2005, 10:00 AM

yup, either happened from sleeping or training, I have had this happen many times lasting up to a week, we call it a "stiff neck".

Doh!

Time to get someone to walk on my back for me.

DOMS · 01-26-2005, 10:07 AM

It's that you're sleeping wrong. I've had a kink in my neck from both sleeping wrong and from exercising. Your description sounds like the former.

Other than seeing a chiropractor, there's nothing that you can do about it. Robert is spot on as to how long it can last. Usually not more than a week. If it does last longer, go see a doctor.

Oh heeeeeellllll yes....

It feels awesome. Provided the volunteer actually treads evenly, and doesn't weigh 300lbs.

Thanks for the help guys.

Robert... Ano Matrix RX is awesome stuff. I just thought I'd let cha know.

It gets a BIG

from me.

I had one so bad one time I thought I might have a kidney infection. Turns out that I needed an alignment since my feet hang off my bed

Go figure.

that is a bad idea, if anything start seeing a chiropractor for adjustments, I do.

but with a stiff neck try putting a heating pad on it to help relax the muscles, use some ibuprofin for the pain, and do not work-out for a few days.

That I shall do.

I may have trouble getting itno a chiropracter.. I'm uninsured at the moment...

However, I'll try the heat.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really appreciate everyone's help.

Most insurance companies do not really cover much anyway, at least mine does not. You can pay cash, mine charges $40 a visit.

Luke9583 · 01-26-2005, 11:16 AM

One visit and you can learn how to do it yourself. I do it daily.

I don't know what your budget it like, but chiroprators usually charge around $35 for a session.

wow, so a chiropractor goes to 4 years of school to learn how to adjust vertabraes and we can all just do it ourselves!

you cannot honestly think that "cracking" your back is the same thing a chiro does when he/she adjusts you.

DemolitionNine · 01-26-2005, 12:43 PM

Welp, I'll see if I can't squeeze $35-$40 out of my back pocket for a visit.

We'll have to see.

The discomfort is definitely getting to me. I'm beginning to think it'd be very well worth it.

The owner of my gym has good ties with a Chiropractic Firm not too far from my house, maybe I'll ask him first how much she charges per session, and what the hours are, etc. ... then kinda' go from there.

I"m not that naive Rob. I've had two alignments done professionally. I can now get the same results on my own.
Yoga helps too.

Your first visit will cost more because they will do x-rays.

Pretty easy to tell, because I can rotate my neck.

**Prince** · 01-26-2005, 12:53 PM

do you realize the damage you can cause doing this?

you could paralyze yourself, cause a stroke, or even die if you did it wrong, or went too far.
