Finally feeling okay this week running again, my legs had been so heavy lately. I restarted creatine in late Nov/December for recovery and memory. Brain always feels great on it! I’ve taken creatine regularly before, but this was the first time taking it that it caused my legs to swell so much that the skin hurt/itched and my legs were so swollen and heavy. Same brand too! Finally feeling my muscles returning back to “normal” and not like I am running through mud. Also can see my calf muscles returning! 🦵 Running has been enjoyable again 🤣 unsure if I’ll have the courage to restart creatine again in the future, and if I do I will go much lower dose (2-3g vs 5g) and try a different brand.

Anyone else have issues on it (I’ve heard quite a few complaints) or do you swear by it?
