visit to the doctor

**hockeyguy** · 07-09-2008, 07:24 AM

Hey guys quick question. I woke up yesterday sick and with a lump in my armpit so I made an aapt. to see the doc about it today. I' guessing it could be a limpnode but just want to be on the safe side. My question is do you guys say anything to your doc about being on a cycle? I don't think it has anything to do with my cycle but like I say just want to be safe. Fine bill of health.

Test only cycle.

I deal with my doc on a need to know basis, if my bloodwork comes back way out of wack while "on", I'll tell him, he's never been happy about my use of gear, I doubt I'll ever find a doc that will be supportive of it. Certain sides that are common I just deal with without the aid of a doctor. In the case of your "growth", I would personally tell him, you never know, it may be related to aas, although doubtful, but better safe than sorry. Good luck, I hope its nothing serious.

Honesty is the best policy especially when it comes to your health.

OK he said he said he thinks a might be a pimple use a heat pad and take and advil. He doesn't think it has anything to do with aas. I'll say it was an uncomfortable situation to bring up to your doc. Thanks guys

Good! Now you've broken your "come clean to the doc" cherry! Welcome to the club. Glad to hear its nothing major!

A lump under your arm pit is your node fighting infection. If its in that area its more than likely a shot to the shoulder gone wrong. I wouldn't tell them nothing. You'll either heal up in a few days or the infection will present itself in that area.

Take anti-biotics if you have them

what if its a virus causing an infection? do you know that just randomly taking antibiotics is a bad idea?

^^^ Yes a very bad idea, could harm more than heal.

Your right. I never take antibiotics unless I have a bacteria infection which doesn't happen very often. Mainly my wisdom teeth which are coming through and that I don't want cut out if I can help it. It could be a virus. What would a doctor do in this situation

**Nitro29** · 07-09-2008, 08:51 PM

Cmon, you know whether its a pimple or not. Did he actually look at it? Is it an abcess, or beginning to?

How did he react to your "chemistry project"? So far, my doc has been pretty freakin cool about it...Nitro

**hockeyguy** · 07-09-2008, 09:07 PM

Nitro. Its not like a pimple on your face or back he said its under the skin. To me it doesn't look like a pimple I've seen, but I'm no doctor. He said it should go down in a couple of days. Like I say I'm not doctor and maybe he's wrong but I trust him. If things don't go down in a couple of days I will be back in. And yes he did look at it. First cycle Test e going on my 5th week shots have been glute and thigh.

sorry I thought we were talking about somthing the size of 1/2 a golfball or something

Definately sounds like a swollen lymph node, if your feeling sick, then its probably related. Being up front with a doc is the way to go, they arent going to shop you to the police and may be more helpful and understanding than you expect.
