Medical Question

**tyevho** · 03-18-2006, 08:34 AM

A buddy of mine (Age 54) is running a cycle of Prop only (100mg/ed). He has only been on for about 10 days and his ankles and wrist are swelling. Said he has put on about 9 lbs of water in the last 10 days. As we know, Prop is the best for low water retention. Could he have other problems going on? Possibly kidney issues?
Thanks

For most people, prop. does not give them much water retention issues, but everyone is different. It would probably be smart if the problem persists to see a doctor and make sure that his kidneys are functioning correctly.

Side effects differ from user to user. One side effect from ANY test ester is the tendency to retain water due to the build up the estrogen hormone. Thats one reason why anti-estrogens are taken while cycling the other(major) reason is to prevent gynocomastia.

Is he cycling an anti-e along side his prop??
