Finished my first 10 weeks of gh. 2 iu/day, 5/2. Used jin. I realize this is all anedoctal but thought it might contribute something. i had surgery on my left hip for a torn labrum, while in there the doc found some osteoarthritis. He cleaned up the tear etc...Months of physical therapy to strengthen the supporting structure and i was still in pain 24/7, not bad earth shaking pain, but more than a few tylenol could take of. So i decided to give gh a run....long story short, it helped, alot. the pain was gone, and i was beginning to feel the joint become more flexible. For a number of reasons I had to stop, not due to any sides, I had none, but I had a spate of travel, family visiting...yada yada yada...and now after about 3 weeks the pain is coming back again...slowly, but surely. I'm getting another kit to run another 10 weeks, but i have to be gone for a month starting in april and will not try to travel with my gear on a plane and in a hotel so I'll have 4 weeks on, then 4 weeks off, then back on again. I also began to see the benefits of leaning you out some. Nothing dramatic, but still enough that i could tell. Anyway thats all bros...hope this provided something to someone.
