Welcome back buddy. Hope everything goes well for ya. My advice would be to lay off the creatine for awhile. I found that, in my experience at least, creatine worked as a great boost to get me over the platuea I had reached after about a year and 1/2 of lifting. Give your body some time to grow naturally before hitting it with the good stuff. But, if you're going to start taking it now then you're going to want to do a 5 day loading period where you take 20g a day. Then after this is over, 5g a day for maintence. I take it after workouts, but I've heard of people who take it before. I also cycle 1 month on followed by a month off just because the studies haven't been conclusive on long term liver damage, but to each their own. Good luck!
