Swollen Hands

[Gfeazell]

I am currently taking 400 week of Test C.. My hands seem to be swollen up which I guess is water retention.. Does this sound right? Can i do anything to combat this?

Thanks,

i'm taking .25 of Anostrozole (started twice a week) but just this week moved up to every other day.

I would use an AI during your cycle(s)

i'm taking .25 of Anostrozole (started twice a week) but just this week moved up to every other day.

Take .25 eod day for two full weeks and if it gets worse or stays the same go to .5 eod for a full week and that should hopefully do it.Then taper back down to .25 eod for the rest of the cycle unless the problem persists.

Hands are much better today.. Thanks for all the good advice.

Run Cialis, it's your BP.

Run Cialis, it's your BP.

Usually its the bloating that causes raised bp, not high bp causing bloating. And the bloating is caused by estro. And the estro is caused by aromatase. So after increasing the ai, op has already experienced some improvement. I think the problem is solved.

Glad to hear it bud.Im telling you that anastrazole may not be the strongest but when taken religiously it is very effective.

AI and cialis will do nothing for your swollen hands if it is coming from the GH you are running.

wrong thread bro

Does this apply to both hands and feet? I would think that estrogen related bloating would take place where most of the estrogen receptors are located - adipose tissue! Hands I don't know, feet are signs of high blood pressure.

ok, some basic physiology. maybe we need lemonada now...

water retention is a generalised circulatory problem. it is not localised to areas with estrogen receptors only. too much water in the blood vessels caused high BP. this water can leak out of the vessels, causing edema. so its the water retention that causes high bp, not high bp causing water retention. depending on the levels of colloids and crystalloids in your blood stream, you may get either more obvious increase in bp or more obvious edema.

Ok, now it makes more sense. Thanks
