i'm cutting right now, and i just had a dental procedure done. I was prescriped vicodin to help with the pain. it's definitely helped with the pain :D , but i was wondering if it will have a negative impact on my progress. Ive tried to keep my diet the same, though I am eating slightly less.

I would make getting over the dental procedure the priority.

i'd say the same.

i'd honestly ask your dentist. i have no clue how prescription strength medications affect your body (except make you feel funny). if he/she says it's okay to exercise on it, i would. if not, i wouldn't.

i personally, probably wouldn't, only because you're numbing your pain. pain is a very important body signal telling you that something is wrong. what if you tore a muscle/ligament but didn't feel it because your pain sensors were numb? it's like the person who feels no pain wouldn't realize he was burning his hand on the frying pan. the damage will be done.

Vicodin, like many other pain killers, is a mild narcotic. but instead of stimulating you, it deadens your sense to pain, and in doing that it slows down your metabolism. With that said, stick with the vicodin, and just stay good with your diet, its not worth the pain IMO
