>Be me
>Early 20s
>Go to the gym for years but don't make much progress, gain some strength but never any much muscle besides constant bulking/cutting cycles
>One day get some neck pain and upper back pain when standing too long or jogging
>After months of doctor appointments and physical therapy get an mri and find out I have a very minor bulging disc but is not impinging on anything
>Flash forward 2 years later
>Gain 40 lbs from a combination of being sedentary of fear of aggravating my neck and overeating to cope
>Also start developing thumb tingling which I assume is a result of overuse of the computer over the last 2 years and no exercise.
>Most recent visit with my Doctor, told me that I shouldn't be afraid to exercise more since the disc bulge was very minor and the pain I am experiencing is more likely from poor posture and stress since I have always been a very anxious person.
My question is, how silly would it be to attempt to use Anabolic Steroids being unfit as fuck just to help with my chronic conditions? I have always had a lot of trouble gaining muscle, but I feel like if I could it would help my back and neck with some actual support. I have already started a diet and restarting physcial therapy as well as planning on pushing myself with some light cardio even if it bothers my neck but I have been through all that before and am not that confident how it is going to help me. I don't even really care about looking good, I just want to feel normal again. I want to go hiking. I want to be able to go running for multiple miles again. Heck, I want to go grocery shopping without worrying about my neck acting up. I am getting pretty desperate here but don't plan to give up.

were you referred to a physical therapist?
all disc issues are due to weak muscles.
if you have the money, see a physical therapist.
he should show you exercises for neck muscles that don't hurt you.
if you are willing to experiment, a simple neck exercise is pic related on a bed or something.
hold your neck in place while tucking your chin in.
do it on your back, on your stomach, on your left side and on your right side.
IF IT HURTS THE BONES/JOINTS DO NOT DO IT AND SEE A PHYSICAL THERAPIST.
muscle pain is normal and what we're hoping for.
