Creatine, stiffness and muscle pain

**The Wolf** · 03-10-2009, 06:44 AM

I have been having on and off back pains for over 15 years but I dont know if its a coincindence or if its the creatine but when ever I add creatine I seem to be in more pain and more stiff than usual. Anybody else get this or is it just me?

You should drink a lot of water when taking creatine, are you?

I tried creatine for a couple of months, held more muscle size from the water, but lost some definition. I just didn't see the point of creatine after awhile.

I try to stay in the best shape possible year round, no time for creatine as I never bulk or compete.

Well Dennis, you certainly are comming up with excuses early this year. Phil didn't even get a chance to beat you yet.
