knee/joint pain when on gh?

***the original jason*** · 03-23-2004, 05:57 PM

ok i know my knees and elbows become unbearable to the point i cant even bend down when on gh, what if anything can help this? really struggling, to be honest, im stronger without gh cos i dont get so much joint pain, been on 10 weeks, just took a week off, i was so strong after the week off, no joint pain at all, been back on 2 days lowered dosage to 2iu per day and joint pain back in no time?

peace

I don't have a study to back this up, but it was what was theorized as the potential cause of joint pain (especially in the hands and feet) in people during clinical GH studies. GH promotes the growth of connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, etc). Even the slight growth of connective tissue in the feet and hands can be enough to displace the bones in the hands and feet (carpals and tarsals), and even the slight repositioning can cause oversensitization/pain in these areas....this should subside once the repositioning ceases. Continuing GH won't necessarily cause the same rate of growth for the duration of use. That doesn't exactly explain the joint pain in other areas though. I did get some pain in my shoulders at first, but after 2 months or so, it was gone. The numbness in my hands and feet doesn't go away while on.

It seems to be pretty individualized....some people don't get anything beyond numbness in the wrists, and some get pain in just about all of their joints. Dose will obviously play a factor too, but 4 IUs is a pretty common dose, and there's still lots of variation. If it doesn't go away and you still want to stick with it, you may think about something to lube the joints, like sodium hyaluronate....or even adequan.

I have been getting really bad pains in my hips, the only thing I have been doing differently is adding hGH the past few weeks but I have never read of any bros having this kind of joint pain

bro funny u mention this, i just realised this morning that, i think my lower back pains that i have been spending 20 quid per week on in the chiros are gh related also, as i stopped it for a week, then no pain, started it again pain again. Its the worst ****ing ache ever in my lower back and its apparent only in the mornings it goes an hr after i wake up

same **** happened to me when I was on(4iuX120days) , I could push 3/4 of the weights I usually do, my elbows my shoulder joints killed me big time, but it went away after I got off. I recommend glucosamine chontrodine (wrong spelling I guess) to ease the pain

TOJ is yours between your ribs and your hips, when it first started I thought it may have been my kidneys but now I am thinking its too near the sides to be that (I hope so anyway)?

When I lie down the compression is relieved so thats why I thought it was hGH joint related

Are you injecting near that area TOJ because I have been shooting subQ near the love handle area with the fat burning site specific theory?

***the original jason*** · 03-24-2004, 01:19 PM

i tried that for a good few weeks last year, didnt really notice anything, now do subq left of the naval area just into fat, dont notice any site specific fat loss there

Interesting.........I've only had shoulder and elbow pain.Lasted about 1 month then never had a problem since.I was running 4ius ed.Now,several years later,I run 6ius or more and the only side I get at times are swelling of the feet and hands.

I never noticed any fat burning effect from spot injecting into fatty areas either.
