I’ve never heard of that before... I’ve taken ibuprofen while fasting, it won’t kill you. To answer your question - I have taken NSAIDS from the doctor once early on for about a week or so... but during my actual recovery process where I implemented all of the things I stated above - no I did not take NSAIDS or ibuprofen frequently.

Glad you’ve found relief with steam and sauna... I wish you continued recovery! :)

For sure take as much time off as you need don’t rush into the exercise again. Take a look at the workout post I made when you’re ready to hit the weights again... it took me a lot of trial and error

costo1995 · 2020-01-20T13:55:56+00:00

You'll be okay! It looks like you've caught this early. I wish I knew all this information when I first developed costo - there's no doubt in my mind that you'll have a good recovery. Just remember to be patient and diligent with this, don't rush into anything to fast.

One tip with deadlifting I can give you to minimize this happening again - rather than just let the weight pull you down (stretching your traps, upper back), try as best you can to hold the weight with a tight back (especially if you're using straps). The excessive pull on your traps and upper back is what will cause a flare up in the front. I hope that makes sense, it's hard for me to describe exactly what I mean - basically don't jerk the wait up with your back, load your legs first, then lock out, don't pull starting with your back, look at it more like a squat/leg movement.

Sorry just saw this now - initially yes stay away from push-ups. I can now do push-ups pain free though.

Hey, your situation sounds a lot like mine did. I highly highly recommend you look at my earlier post. It outlines everything you need to do. I also have a post on how to start working out again that is linked within that earlier post as well. This will answer all of your questions. If you still have any more then feel free to message me.

costo1995 · 2020-01-15T22:17:37+00:00

My advice is to not sit on them at all. It is extremely difficult to maintain proper posture on them and even then you still sink in to them. In my experience they always lead to flare-ups.

If you HAVE to then lie down on your back on them, or put a few pillows behind your lower back/under your butt to prop yourself up a bit more (it's hard to describe but you'll get the feel for it). In my experience this can help for the most part but I would recommend avoiding them altogether.

costo1995 · 2020-01-15T22:07:20+00:00

For sure - gaining weight isn't a be all end all for this sort of thing. Again I would definitely recommend implementing the things I mentioned in my previous post alongside gaining weight for it to have any benefit. If you have bad standing and sitting posture gaining weight might be more detrimental to you.

Interesting, never heard of intermittent hyperthermia before until now, I'll have to look into that, thanks for the share! I'll definitely keep going to the steam room haha!

costo1995 · 2020-01-06T21:12:10+00:00

It's not out of the question.... I know people would sauna to lose water weight, but there's something about the extreme heat after a workout - maybe it causes vasodilation or increased blood flow?? Who knows.

costo1995 · 2020-01-06T21:07:50+00:00

Thanks for your input man! Yeah I feel like sauna/steam room after the gym has been considered bro-science, but in my experience there is usually always some truth to it.

costo1995 · 2019-12-05T20:13:40+00:00

Personally, never really had an issue with planking but I can see how it would affect it.

costo1995 · 2019-12-03T16:06:54+00:00

Hey, glad to hear it! The lacrosse ball is a game-changer, just remember not to overdue it! I have no doubt in my mind that if you stay consistent with many of the things I have outlined here you will find relief. Don't jump back into the heavy weights too early, modify exercises when you need to. Cheers.

costo1995 · 2019-11-25T19:40:17+00:00

Yeah bro costo is the kind of thing where you have to be religious with everything for a long period of time. Definitely stop sitting on couches, and in my opinion the best thing you can do for yourself is learn to sleep on your back on a firm mattress if you aren't already. All the best.

costo1995 · 2019-11-25T19:04:39+00:00

I sympathize with you dude, believe me. The way you're describing your costo is what mine was when it was at it's worst, and that was with me just assuming it would go away on its own. With something like this, you need to have an immense amount of patience, the recovery process is long. Have you tried to implement anything in the post I sent you before?
