It sure does. Ibuprofen does nothing, high dose co-codamol only had the effect of giving me crippling constipation as well, max-dose naproxen *did* help over time and I thought it was magic but really it only works if I catch it early enough....
Diclofenac usually fixes it with a single tablet, 2-3 tops (at twice a day). At Christmas it had a chance to set in properly while I got a gp appointment to get a new prescription and that's where it took 3 days.
My training is continuing to be haphazard even post-lockdown, due to combinations of holidays, sick leave and important meetings (usually I say no, but some are TOO important) - I really don't have the enthusiasm or motivation to go without my trainer to tell me what to do.
I'm at a stage of leg-pressing 260kg, deadlifting 80kg, benching 50, amongst other more general strength and tone improvements.
I still look as fat as I did 3 years ago (huh, first session was 3 years ago to the day, Saturday gone!) but have lost a few kilos, so there must be some improvement on that side of things.
