[FONT=Arial] My ex-boyfriend has been working-out for a long time... & has cycled with creatine for many years.. I can't think of the brand right now that he's been using for the past 8-10 months... I have a question: Should creatine create lower back pain? He couldn't run when on it... he's been off of it for about 1 month or so... and now he can run forever... and fast. he was also using Muscle Milk (1 shake per day, usually) and he quit using that too b/c it has creatine in it as well.. Can anyone explain that? ...or what else it could be from?...  when creatine usually increases physical performance and everything. [FONT=Arial][COLOR=blue]kw[COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]

i dont see how creatine could be linked to any pain except headache or nausea from all the sugar and sweeteners that are in the drink mixes. the pill form which is creatine ethyl ester is a lot better IMO. i don't know of a muscle milk protein mix that has creatine in it. some muscle tech stuff claims to, but its such a small amount that is far from effective that it's only for the purpose of putting some flashy over exagerated labels. read some of the old pinned threads or articles on creatine and you'll see that it's doubtfull that the back pain is related to taking it. you're a chick right?

If it continues or gets worse, a doctor visit seems in order. |
Word if it's down to creatine, it's most likly gonna be his kidney's. Tell him to start drinking about a gallon and a half of water per day, if that does'nt help, he need's to go see the doctor.

Aaawwww how cute...reunion time hahaha, just jokin Definitely get bloodwork done if the aching is still present. Creatine can have negative effects on the kidneys if taken in large doses without enough water. Plus, are you sure he is not taking anything else other than just protein and creatine? I'm implying steroids or anything of that nature, I'm just saying that there are a lot of other things in the supplement world that might cause these types of pains, but creatine, at least in my experience, usually won't cause constant kidney pain (I use Storm creatine, 3 scoops workout/cardio days). Maybe he is taking too many other supplements and his body can't handle the intake. Does he take Vitamins? Single or Multi? Omega fatty acids? Amino acids? Vitamins especially will cause harsh kidney pains if too many are taken and he is not drinking enough water...that I can account too.
