JStagge Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I had really bad pain with my whole body being incredibly sore on day 5-15 of this round and I introduced Magnesium supplement which helped. I am back to the Magnesium which is helping a little but not as much as before. I was feeling incredible until mid-day today and plan to complete the Whole60 because I do not feel like my first Whole30 was long enough to get the full effect. Has anyone else had joint/muscle pain when introducing coffee or espresso? Or suggestions? I have been having 2 shots + 3-4 onces of Light Coconut Milk. I have been keeping hydrated to make up for the espresso dehydration. Will be removing espresso for this weekend to test. I do have lower back, hip, & knees issues and been in and out of Physical Therapy since I was 15 yrs old (I am 32). All are flaring up right now. I have hip problems a mass of scar tissue (has shrinked a good amount during this W30) and have had Sciatica. My hip has been drastically better for the last 2.5 weeks but flaring really bad today. I have lost 18 lbs (175 lbs, 5' 8") which should help my joints. Been spending time on the treadmill and stretching in a sauna about 4 times a week. The espresso overall has me feeling drastically better overall and did not hurt until mid-day today after 3 days of espresso. I am used to being sore in my joints but this is different. Thank you!

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't know how much coffee it would take to notice a change, but in general coffee can be inflammatory, so it's definitely possible. You might find this article interesting: https://www.thepaleomom.com/pros-and-cons-of-coffee/ Remember when you remove coffee this weekend to test, it may take a few days to get back to feeling good again, so don't jump the gun bringing it back into your diet assuming that because you're not back to normal by Sunday evening that it doesn't make a difference.

JStagge Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thanks. I ended up having a brutal flu that put me in bed for 3 days and I just got over. The Flu hopefully was causing 100% of the pain. I am reintroducing espresso tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you have no issues with the espresso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
