sciatica and hgh

**Swiggy** · 02-10-2007, 08:04 PM

started my hgh last monday and have felt numbness and some pain from my sciatic nerve. ive had to take medication for it before ( Prednisolone i think) anyway could it be from the hgh making my sciatica flare up? have also had some numbness in my feet.

havnt heard of it before, but the water retention of gh could be a problem...

Sounds like you got some good stuff. Numbness is definately a side.
How much are you doing? You should not start with over 2 iu per day.
Then after a few weeks add annother. Start up with a 5/2 program.

If you are doing a small amount, stop for a few days and reduce you
amount by half. It can take weeks after you stop for numbness to stop.

Try a diuretic that may help

Don't mix predizone and GH.

The numbness is the wrist and hands asleep is a good indicator...sounds like good stuff.
