Your liver enzymes are likely high because you are using painkillers. And they don't have to be heavy duty opiates to cause damage. Tylenol can potentially destroy your liver, and Advil or Motrin will do the same to your kidneys. I don't know what's your specific question for Dylan but in my humble opinion, resistance training might be a thing for you to avoid, provided you have a spinal condition and are taking gabapentin for nerve pain.

You don’t understund.When I stop training for 3 weeks and was taking lots painkillers my liver
Enzymes was in range first time ever.My quastion was about hgh.How gh can affect your liver enzymes.Thank you for any answer.

By having increased amounts of GH hormone in your body for extended periods of time, it may force your liver to operate at high levels creating glycogen.
At some point, this will have to be released into the bloodstream, causing increases in blood sugar levels, leading to increased levels of insulin. This domino effect is evidence that you should increase GH production intermittently so as to give your liver, and other internal organs, a rest.


what painkillers were you taking?

 

[monkasyz]

Gabapentin.But is not painkiller.Nothing feew months before my blood test.Only hgh.My liver enzymes was always high since I remember.But lifting sice years and lots cardio.

If you don't want to stop the GH, then run a good liver support along with it. TUDCA is good, and so is organ ST which has other liver protectants and includes TUDCA https://www.dganutrition.com/cycle-support/organ-st

Gabapentin is anticonvulsant/anti-epileptic drug used to treat a range of conditions, among them nerve pain. Painkiller, by definition, is a substance used to treat pain. Look it up.
Have you been medically cleared to do resistance training with weights? You suffered a spine injury for God's sake.

 

[DylanGemelli]

why did you say you took a ton of pain killers? im confused?

Brother in law (orthopedic surgeon) has read this thread and recommends reassessment of bulging disk since epidural corticosteroid injections are intended in most cases for temporary relief of symptoms as a last resort prior to surgery.
