I need a wee bit of advice. I’ve been using pheros for a little while and will soon get a regular cortisteroid injection for my back (due to degenerative disc disease). Am not sure what type of ‘steroid’ this is, but wondered whether this will alter my chemical make up/natural phero signature and mean that I have to alter my phero use? Anyone have any ideas? Maybe this won’t make a difference? But if it does, will I have to cut back on nones, say? (I don’t regularly use much pheros but like the occasional use of A314 and the instants Shine & Gentleman). In the meantime, I will report back when i find out what they’re going to be injecting me with (it’ll be a long-lasting injection every 6 mths or so). - Jonno ---

Cortisteroids are catabolic in nature from my understanding. The amount of testosterone elevation from Androsterone found in A314 and Gent is miniscule. To be on safe side and without revealing pheromone use to the doc, you can ask him if it would be okay to take an herbal supplement like tribulus terrestris while having the injections. If he says yes then you can surely use any [pheromone product](https://a314.com/shop/) quite comfortably. ---

I’ll see what he says (i don’t like the idea of any kind of roids in me, specially if they’re not gonna make me buff! 😃 - Jonno ---

Been there and done this Jonno101! I had the needle, 6 treatments worth, when I ruptured the L3 in my back. Used mones the whole process through and didn’t notice a thing different. I even wore mones to the doctor visits 🙂 ---

Backs can be a b\*\*ch when they go wrong. - Jonno ---

Stretching helps and Yoga is the ultimate. ---

> [@Steve](#): > > Been taking Lortab 10’s on and off again for past three years. Not fun when you can’t walk because of pain. Stretching helps and Yoga is the ultimate. I feel for ya. I find Pilates is good but if i do too much I get sciatica. So am looking to take up yoga. Have had the injection now but now found out it takes up to 7s hrs to kick in and might only last 3wks! (still hoping for 3-6mths relief). - having been sent a rial of Instasnt Gent in my last order by these lovely guys & gals, (I now love it) Im gonna get a bottle in my nest order. - J ---
