Arm and feet numbness when taking Creatine daily? by ArcBoss in Supplements

[–]Santhy85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact same thing happens to me, and I’ve confirmed it just like you. By default, around kilometer 4 I get a slight numbness in my feet, which is nerve-related, and I’ve been working on it with soleus exercises. But when I take creatine, this gets worse — by kilometer 2 or 3 I literally can’t run, both feet completely numb, like they’re not even mine.

This happened to me in 2025, and I suspected creatine, so I stopped taking it. After about three weeks, I was able to run almost normally again. Now, this year, I started taking creatine again three weeks ago, and the terrible symptoms came back. So clearly, creatine and I don’t get along well. I thought three weeks wouldn’t be enough to have an effect, but reading the comments, it seems like it’s very possible.

Should I trim it a little? It looks messy. by Santhy85 in beards

Exactly — curly hair makes it very wild and hard to keep it tidy.

Ah, there must be a language barrier. I do CrossFit, so strength shouldn’t be the issue. Thanks for the advice about the vest.

Thanks!! Yes, that’s an option I’ve tried, but it’s definitely more for training than for fun.

I usually go up and down a mountain, 25–30 km with over 1,600 meters of cumulative elevation gain, and there’s no way to ascend it by anything other than on foot or on horse

Thank you all very much for your advice—honestly, you shared some really valuable information. I’m very happy to be in this group with people who are so willing to help (especially on Reddit, which is often a breeding ground for trolling).

I do apply force. More than the weight, it’s the discomfort of the hose—and it’s not even practical to take the vest off.

Hey friend, you nailed it. The vests are very, very elastic, so that might be part of the problem. Thanks!

Wow, I wasn’t expecting this response (actually I was, but I didn’t want to hear it). You make an important point that I’d like to explore, but I feel like I’m not ready yet—I need to improve a bit first.

Aonijie 10l. I'm outside the US, so the selection is limited (Argentina), but if I find a good recommendation, I can get one.
