My TRT Script!

[bass]

i looked up side effects from Anastrozole and i have most of them! i will try to see my doctor today, if i can't should i go to ER?! am i being paranoid here?!

another question, should i discontinue my injections?

I have read that stomach disorders are common for the first week or two on Anavar , then they go away. Not saying this is what you are experiencing - just a thought. Now are you seeing why adding one thing at a time might make sense? You have no idea which one of your rx's (if it is even one of your scripts) is causing what because you have no experience with any of them.

Not saying I told ya so, i'm jus sayin......

I dont think I would discontinue your injections.

waiting for an update after your visit with your doc. hope it turns out to be nothing!

[bass]

i am with you, i just trusted the clinic and didn't want to alter their script.

[flatscat]

have you read the same thing about the stomach issues and Anavar ? Maybe someone else can chime in with Anavar experience. You feeling better?

[bass]

not at all, still feeling lots of pain on my side. just called the doc and the secretary said they're booked for today, i begged her to take me in today, i am waiting for their call! i am concerned, i read so much testimonials on the net and most stated even stooping Anastrozole did not reverse the sides! but these were older folks and long term users. am i being paranoid here? i am worried, could two weeks of Anastrozole or anavar screw me up?

[flatscat]

I can't tell you if you are being paranoid or not, I can say I dont ever recall anyone posting on this board that anastrozole caused those symptoms.

Did you check out the sides of anavar and see if they fit?

[flatscat]

JP - u ever heard of that?

[JohnnyVegas]

Hoping this passes soon. This is such a great reminder of what we are all doing. I think all the kids show up thinking it is easy: take drugs on list, lift weights, eat food, GET HUMUNGOUS. There is a lot of trial and error, and everyone reacts differently to these drugs.

for one...ditto from me

[zaggahamma]

never heard or experienced any such sides bass is complaining of...if i were guessing i would say coincidence but who's gonna be happy/secure with a guess...

[bass]

okay guys, thanks for your comments! in few minutes I'll be doing an x-ray, just got back from the doc and he thinks i got a fractured rib! not sure how i could have done that! i also showed him my script and the only thing he said was "its a compound" and "make sure you do periodic blood work" and "how do you feel?"...nothing negative! wish me luck, lets hope it is a fractured rib...LOL, its funny what you wish for in some circumstances! my doc said if it is a fractured rib i can't lift for 3 months! this sucks, i will need advise from you guys as to what exercises to do and which one to avoid, i really don't want to sit back for 3 months while on this compound!

yes anavar has similar sides, but all drugs seem to have similar sides!

It is funny what you wish for. I really hope things work out well for you.

[bass]

thanks Toad! did the x-ray and now waiting for results! also forgot to mention, i also asked my doc about nausea and he said its common with my condition, assuming i have a fractured rib!

[zaggahamma]

if u dont have a clue how u fractured a rib imma guess u dont have one...just my .02 and another guess

[bass]

maybe its a pulled muscle! thats a possibility.

[bass]

it could very well be a pulled muscle, i haven't heard from the doc yet, but this is why i believe its a pulled muscle, see my post below,

the clinic doc and my coordinator just called and they assured me that the amounts i am taking are very low and shouldn't have any sides, especially at this stage. i told them about my rib pain and they said that makes more sense where the pain is coming from rather than the compounds! they will do blood work within couple of weeks or so to see where my levels are and go from there.

i have to agree if i'm reading correctly but if you read your post carefully it is confusing...."i told them about my rib pain and they said that makes more sense where the pain......"

MAKES MORE SENSE WHAT????????

[bass]

they never heard or know of anyone that had pains as described due to TRT, they don't see a correlation with the pain site and the compounds, to them it makes sense that the pain is generated from a bruised/fractured rib than the compound causing it! i hope thats clear!

I've changed to a 25 gauge 5/8 needle about 4 years ago. My test is blended with grape seed oil and I pin in my quads. Most definitely add the HCG twice a week.

[bass]

can you believe this! as my back is recovering now my left elbow is inflamed! this really sucks...

The older I get, it seems like it's always something. I get problems in my elbow when I do hammer curls. You might want to look at what you have been doing in your training.

i can second that...

heavy dumbells will FVCK ur elbow up...tendonitis will get you...happened to me when throwing them up to press them(incline) but i can see the hammer curl have a similar rom...i got thru most of my elbow(s) pain and am back doing them again but dropped em for about 6 months.

I just got over having Tennis Elbow for 3+ months. Thank goodness for Cortisone injections! Went from doing skull crushers with a 125 lb curling bar down to using a 40 lb one (with pain) - ugh. Took two injections to finally get rid of it. Something always seems to be hurting...

[bass]

yup, thats what i have been doing but instead of dumbbells i use rope! you are correct, it seems every time i do hammer curls i get elbow pain, i guess I'll drop the hammers or just do it with light weight! now i got to wait! the only thing i can do is leg press, leg curls, and leg extensions, pretty soon I'll be confined to a wheelchair!

On the elbow pain make sure not to rotate the wrist when doing any curls this will put undue stress on the attachment point and aggravate the microtears that are causing the symptoms.

I don't know if your sickness was ever diagnosed or passed but food for thought I had a blow to the chest once and had fever, sickness etc and was told (by ER) it was bruised ribs after z rays came back negative, two days of working as a mechanic and pushstarting my dodge van by myself..the problems worsened (I was young and figgured what the hell it would hurt but bruised ribs were not dangerous) anyway 2 days later it was worse went to my reg practitioner who is an internist and he diagnosed a subcapsular haematoma of the spleen in about 1 minute, I went by ambulance from his office to another hospital for observation...after 4 days of observation the swelling had deminished enough so they knew it would not rupture ( often fatal) and sent me home for another week of bed rest.

what is subcapsular haematoma?

this is exactly how i do it, it seems more natural and less pain on my joint. i believe the elbow problem is from triceps workout.

[chi]

I think he means, "Plan B: I ran out of money or clinic won't prescribe anymore, so I got to try & kick start my balls into making some test - emergency contingency plan"!

My thoughts are after this "cycle", dry out for a month. Then get bloodwork done when you are totally shut down and go back to your doc when the report shows your test levels are like 50. They'll probably put you on something then!

The doc didn't prescribe it before because you were low normal at 299. They seem to only care about the number and are suspicious and scared of steroid use .

But tell them you have a headache and they'll write you a script for some oxycontins. Or tell them your 7 yr old child is a little hyper and they'll give him amphetamines (adderall) no questions asked. Go figure.

Were you joking or being sarcastic about this? Hope you are for Bass' sake.

my tendonitis was so bad it hurt to pick up a book

[bass]

I've been eating turmeric and it seems to lessen the pain. any of you tried it?

[The Toad]

Sounds interesting. Are you taking the pills or just adding to your food.

[bass]

just taking it raw, one teaspoon into my mouth then wash it down with a glass of water! very nasty, but if it works then i don't mind it!

No I've been told the cortisone reduces swelling in the affected area which allows healing to take place at a quicker rate. That's how it was explained to me & I tend to believe it. Besides it only lasts a day or two, so any "masking" wouldnt last very long. I've always responded well to Cortisone shots. Cant rely on them too much though, as they can weaken tendons...

[bass]

yes thats my understanding as well, i also agree with JPK by dropping everything that hurts until everything is 100% healed.

an update,

today will be doing my fourth injection, all the familiar pain is about 95% gone, but been getting new pains! first it was my back on the left side, then my left elbow, then the inside of my left foot from doing calves, and now my back on the right side, but the new pains seem to recover quickly, like my left back which my doc thought it was a fractured rib is almost gone, my elbow is healing as well! don't understand what this is! could it be that my body is going through a shock and rebuilding it self with these compounds?!

Have you really stepped up the training intensity?
