Androgel - Joint Pain

[buckeyes#1]

Has anyone else experienced joint pain when using androgel ? My shoulders and knees are sore all of the time now and even my feet hurt when I get out of bed in the morning. This has only started happening since I started the gel.

I used to take AndroGel and I can't see where there's any correlation with joint pain. One question though, since you decided to take AndroGel, did you also start increasing your workouts? If so, that could be the root of it.

I take plenty of EFA's/fish oil (Omeg3,6,9), which I swear by for joint issues. I have a genetic issue that causes too much iron in the blood, and I've had arthritis since a young age. Since I started taking these supplements, I swear it's cuts it in half. My knees no longer creek/pop when walking up the stairs, and my hands and shoulders don't hurt anything like they used to.

If you have further doubt, then get into the injections. If you haven't seen already, there's not a lot of AndroGel fans on this forum. You'll find a lot of former users.

I was working out before the Androgel and have continued the same routine since. I have an appointment with a doctor the first week of December that I know prescribes injections. I am on 10g of Androgel and still feel completely horrible.

10g of androgel put me at 232 from 125. Not good at all.

Doesnt sound like a typical side effect at all.

i've heard of this before and if i remember correct the guys experiencing joint pain were saying it's a sign of not being able to absorb the TD.
