This summer I did a 6 week trial of NSI-189 phosphate. During this time I suffered what I assumed was a neck/back injury from the gym. It seemed to originate from the neck, but I also had upper back pains around my shoulder blades. I did 3 weeks of physical therapy and did my best to limit my exercise. In the end it took almost 3 months for it to resolve. Although I never had scans done, my doctor thought it was possibly a pinched nerve or bulging disc. In the end, I chalked it up to just a regular injury. However, with NSI-189 being an experimental drug, I always had suspicions that it might have been connected somehow. In the past few months I have returned to my regular fitness schedule and outside of tweaking it a couple times, have had no problems.
Fast forward to a week ago. I decided to start another trial of NSI-189. About 6 days into the trial, I tweaked my neck again at the gym. In the couple days since then, the injury has increased in severity almost to where it was the first time I injured it. Considering I wasn't doing anything very strenuous or out of the ordinary, I can't help but think the NSI-189 is contributing to, or even causing this problem.
I've done a lot of searching on the forums and haven't found anyone whose experienced the same thing. One person had some pretty severe neuropathic pain issues. Another person complained of a stiff neck. That's about all I found.
I have since stopped the NSI-189 and have am doubtful I will take it again. If there is a connection, it frightens me what kind of damage it could be doing to my body.
For those who are familiar with the MOA of NSI-189, does it seem possible that there's a connection here? For those who have taken NSI-189, have any of you experienced anything at all similar?
