Edema in legs/feet from Dbol???
I noticed a few days ago that I had swelling in my feet. Pretty bad too. Like my feet were a little difficult to put into my sneakers, as it was tight. Had to loosen the laces a little.
I'm in the middle of a cycle (first one in over a decade). About five weeks into it now. I may have been a bit overzealous as far as the dbol. I was taking 50mg/day. Also taking 600mg test/wk and 400mg Deca/wk. I've put on about 25lbs since I started it, but I know a lot of it is water-weight. Since I realized the edema, I weaned my way down on the dbol and stopped taking it altogether yesterday, as I saw multiple other instances where people got edema from dbol.
I took an OTC diuretic to try and reduce the water weight. Didn't seem to help. I also figured I should up my Adex dose. So, been taking 1mg of it per day for the last 3 days. Still doesn't seem to have made a difference, although my nipples aren't as tender anymore.
I was a bit wary that maybe the Adex I had may have been bunk. So, I got some from another source I have used for years. Switched to that one two days ago. Still no difference.
If it was from the dbol, about how long after stopping it should I notice a difference? I mean other than the edema, no other issues. I'm just worried because I see horror stories as to what else can cause edema and don't want to risk my health here. At the same time, I have no health insurance currently and really don't want to miss a day of work to go to a clinic. I never dealt with this in the past though, and used dbol twice in my younger years. But, I also never put weight on this quickly, and wondering if the edema might be a part of a side-effect of how fast I gained. Almost like I gained so fast that certain body functions are having a hard time keeping up?
I appreciate any feedback you guys have. I'm freaking out a bit, but again, no health insurance (plus three kids to financially support), so unless it seems this could be serious, I want to try and give it a little more time before heading to a doctor. I did consider doing one of those walk-in clinics at a Publix, as I could do that tomorrow after work so I don't miss any work for it. However, not sure if a video chat with a doctor is going to get me any answers. I have a feeling that if I need to see a doctor, they're going to want to see me face-to-face, most likely order tests as well. Please let me know what you guys think, if anyone else dealt with something similar, how long it took to subside, etc.?
