Something is wrong

Hurt my back two months ago. Started my TRT injections in the belly fat during the summer and noticed the injections seem far more effective. With my back injury, increased appetite, I've packed on 54 pounds in two months. Very scared and one hell of an eye opener. Went back on my old powerlifting diet (modified) of chicken, fish, steamed broccoli, cauliflower.

This site has always been the goto for support, ideas, anld so forth so here I am again.

54 pounds in two months! that doesn't sound right. allot of that could be water retention. what is your complete TRT protocol?

200mg every 7-10 days. My doc gives me leeway considering my past aas usage. I went the subq route and worked far better for me. The one thing that sucks about this doc is she won't check e2 levels. I use aromasin at .5mg 2x week but hadn't been using it since going subq. Felt great even though back is messed up.

Doc put me on lasix but nothing. All the pain and anti inflam meds likely interfering she said. Really sucks. Down 2.5 pounds using 25 pound bands and new diet since last Thursday. The weight gain didn't seem right. Diet wasn't great but wasn't horrible. Sedentary because of back problems. Seeing 350+ multiple times freaked me out so I'm doing all I can think of

Are you on corticosteroids?
Because those can make you fat in a hurry.

what's puzzling me is you were gaining that much weight that fast and you kept going?! the only thing i can think of is your pain killers and high e2, making you gain weight 'and retaining water. but even with that 54lbs seem excessive! 200 mgs a week is the high end of TRT, and you could be spiking your e2, and taking only 0.5 mg of aromasin twice a week is almost nothing unless you mean adex! do BW to see what's going on.
