    Possible side effect maybe bloat??

    Hey guys on my first cycle which is just test 500mg a week using arimidex and have pct lined up only thing I haven't been using is hcg which I know is reccomended but I'm on week 9 and since like week three my legs swell I guess bc I wear long socks and I take em off and have a ring around my leg like they r really tight. And the past couple days my right knee is really swollen like water on the knee or something it doesn't hurt its just on my knee cap its like sticking out further than my other ine. So my question is could this be water retention or bloat?

    Those socks dont sound comfortable, why are you wearing them? Where normal socks mate

    are they compression socks or medicaly required?

    What is your water intake like everyday (be truthful here, many think their water intake is good but can often be poor and/or exaggerated)

    1 gallon of water is ok but could be improved, try 1.5-2 gallons, see how that treats you, i drink minimum 1.5 gallon a day, i have to force it in but i think of the benefits

    Do some bloodwork to see how is your E2, and if you need to increase the arimidex .
    Did you do any pre cycle bloodwork?

    There are individuals that cannot cycle because of bad cases of water retention, there is a few threads about it here. You should not have swollen ankles, it can be dangerous, nonetheless you need blood work to see if its high estrogen effects.

    Could easily be high e2 blood work is key here.
