    Any swelling from Test Sust on TRT?

    Wondering if anyone has ever experienced facial/leg swelling while on the relatively low doses used on TRT. I have been using 125-150 of Test Sustanon once per week for about a year and have slight swelling in my face and ankles. I am considering changing to another Test compound. Anyone have a similiar situation and if you changed was your swelling reduced? Thanks.

    if the swelling is from the sust then switching to cyp or prop will most likely help.

    Thanks for the reply, you have any idea which one has the most similiar esters to Sust?

    Do you mean swelling or bloating (water retention)? Water retention is somewhat common on testosterone . However, I'm not aware of any swelling.

    On a side note, how often do you inject the Sust? Once a week? Sust is a testosterone combination of short and long esters. IMO not a good idea for TRT due to inconsistent blood levels. It's usually used on cycles and is preferably injected EOD or atleast E 2 days due to the half-life of the short ester testosterone.

    Testosterone Cyp and Enan are usually the preferred choices of treatment for TRT by doctors. Sust used to be prescribed a lot for HRT/TRT. Much better options in my opinion (like Durak said).

    You could opt to switch to just a single estered form of testosterone . That may stabilize your levels a little better.

    Get your doctor to prescribe you arimidex to help with the bloat.

    Your doc is giving you the prescription on this, right? Just trying to rule out that it isn't bunked gear or anything.
