    CTS finally kicking in - Questions!!

    So, as the title says, I have finally started to feel the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome starting.

    At first I was pleased, as this is an indication that the HGH is working. Is there anything else that is a likely cause of my CTS other than HGH?

    My hands are in pain, especially my right hand. Is there a reason for the right hurting more than the left?? My thumb is especially painful. I have sprained my thumb pretty badly 3-4 months ago. Does this have anything to do with it?

    Should I lower the dose slightly until pain subsides, or will the pain go away if I continue at my current dose?

    what dose are you running? how long were you running lower dose?
    I suffered badly and I lowered dose by one IU for 2 more weeks then bumped again, felt much better but still hurt a bit. after about 3 months no more sides at all.

    I was running 3.3 IU/day for the last month. No symptoms Whatsoever.
    Then, I upped to 5 IU/day with NO symptoms. This lasted about a week.

    Here's the important part.
    I was waiting about an hour and a half after injecting before eating. One day, I injected, went back to sleep, woke up 4 hours later and ate. Later that evening the pain came.
    My theory is that the hour and a half that I was waiting previously was NOT enough. I was clearly able to take 5 IU/day without CTS sides using my 1.5 hr wait. But I think the longer wait allows my body to utilize the GH much more efficiently.

    Anyone experience anything similar regarding injection-eating timing protocol?
    I really do think that the 1.5 hour wait was too short.
    Thoughts?

    I don't think it has anything to do with eating it has to do with the dosage jump. You should have bumped to 4iu not 5. I would drop back to 4 for a couple of weeks then bump to 4.5 see how you get on.

    Could be, but I was at 5IU/day already for about a week, and had no CTS at all. THe very same day that I increased the wait from 1.5 to 4 hours, I got the CTS. Could this hust be coincidence. Perhaps, but it seems unlikely to me.

    I have never heard of eating having anything to do with GH induced CTS.
