Had two strokes from tearing an artery in my neck.

It's fully healed. Steroids played no part in it since my blood work was perfect during both strokes. No clotting issues or anything. It's fully healed. Low does test or blast and cruise until I die?

Damn dude, glad you’re ok. Maybe thinking that steroids played no role whatsoever may be a bit short sighted. There are things that may not show up on bloodwork that may be going on behind the scenes. With that being said, maybe it had absolutely had nothing to do with it. I wouldn’t know, I’m far from an expert.


As far as what to do moving forward, nobody can answer that except for you. Whatever you choose, I’d obviously err on the side of caution. Godspeed, green ranger.

Yea, trying not to let life get me down and blast myself into the ground. Got back on trt doing low dose and getting back into the gym. Still not sure what caused my artery to tear. Might've been from my job, lifting heavy, getting deep tissue massages in my neck or all of that shit combined. Everything still works besides my memory and a little blind.
DONT IGNORE NECK PAIN GENTS.

Purely for educational information. Was this an aneurysm that ruptured or an actual tear? How long did it take you to go to the er after the pain started? You say no clotting issues, was this considered ischemic or hemorrhagic? What was your blood pressure running?

I guess I should ask what the therapy was to fix this issue?

I have heard crazy things about deep tissue massage... Glad you are still with us man, stay strong!

Isnt this similar to how that guy Joesthetics died? Some sort of aneurysm/artery got ripped apart. Im glad you didnt die, make sure you get absolutely everything looked over before you do anything.

Recovery from a stroke can be very intimidating, I’m glad to hear it doesn’t sound like you’re suffering from many of the common lasting symptoms that can accompany it. Carotid dissections are something I’ve seen in grappling sports and they can completely derail peoples’ lives, if not end them. All that being said you’ll want to discuss this thoroughly with your doctor.

Health is wealth, in the end.

It was a scattered ischemic stroke. The strokes hit the left hemisphere, my left occipital lobe and my cerebellum. I got extremely lucky on no paralyzed shit. So I actually hit the back of my head on my wall sometime last year while being drunk. The next day the back of my neck,head and shoulders were killing me. I went to the er because I thought it was a heart attack and everything was fine. They didn't scan my neck or anything. Then like a year later and maybe a hundred massages later I stroked out at work and then again two weeks later at home. My blood pressure was normal. I mean with the stress and shit it was like 140/90. My check ups it was always 120/80 or below. The fix was baby aspirin and elliqus. I've been taking both since April. Last scan showed my neck has healed but I'm still on the elliqus as a precautionary measure. I did notice late last year my vision spun while driving then stopped. Then for months after that I was having ocular migraines. Thought nothing of it until I had a stroke. It's been a wild ride. I'm one divorce down and lost custody of my kid. Not gonna lie the thoughts and stress almost got me a few times. Glad to be lifting again and being back on trt has helped a lot. Hearing how joesthetic died and his age really fucked me up and freaked me out. He complained about neck pain for a few days and then bam dead. Really fighting the urge to yolo the tren train and saying fuck it.

Wow, that is crazy man, I am sorry to hear your life was so uprooted in such a short amount of time. You are handling it well though it seems... Seems trauma-induced, if that is the case, it is low risk it will reoccur unless you cause trauma again like before. I think you should hold off on the tren, too neuro-toxic the brain is amazing at healing sometimes, give yourself more time before going 0-100.

Who knows what increased risk factors joesthetic had prior though, he looks like he was on a bit of stuff, respectfully...

Yea. Honestly may never touch tren again. I got fat resting and healing for six months haha. It definitely makes it tempting for sure. I'm also sure Joe was taking Clen and who knows what else to remain lean 24/7. I had a few buddies take it year round and their BP is in the 150s and constantly over 90 in the bottom numbers.

This individual had a trauma-induced stroke, from a neck/head injury, one of the most common causes for carotid dissection strokes. At least that is what it appears to be. Blood work is still good to get, it can be an assessment for risk factor. I honestly don't know what point you are making either, blood work is not the be all end all for every scenario, but it sure helps determine and mitigate risk.
