Side effects

**Chuck_R** · 11-23-2007, 08:16 PM

I'm familiar with the numbness and tingling in the hand one can get from hgh use. I've been on hgh for about 2 months now, 1st month = 2 ius/day, 2nd month onward 1.5iu's/day. For the last 3-4 weeks I wake up in the morning with extreme tightness in my tendons and muscle making it impossible to make a fist or touch my thumb to the tips of my pinky or ring finger(both hands) for about an hour. Once I get going the problem goes away. Has anyone else experienced this?

What your experiencng is defenitely HGH to blame for. If the side effect is too severe I suggest you lower the dose.

Thanks Gear. I'm 38 and thought 1.5iu's would be a good dose, effect wise and price wise. I can handle the sides so far, since after an hour or so of movement they subside. My concern is permanent damage....what do you think? From what I'm able to find so far I think it's just a temporary thing that's just gonna happen.

Its amazing some of the sides with HGH. Definitely start with a low dose. 1 IU a day. Then slowly move up under doctor guidance. Try a multivitamin twice a day, one before bed if you can tolerate it, with a Whey Protein shake with water, 12-16 oz. See if that helps. Tendonitis type pain come with HGH. Lowering the dosage helps. HGH is not something you want to abuse other wise the sides are painful. Advil helps too, one or two once a day during those painful times. Good luck. USE NOT ABUSE. As you go along with your HRT, it gets better.

I don't think you have a major issue on your hands. What you're experiencing is a very common HGH side effect which always seems to disappear once discontinuing the use of HGH. I would say it's defenitely a temporary thing.

Actually it was the Dr that prescribed 2-3iu's a day, I opted for 2iu to begin with and then decreased to 1.5 after about a month. I didn't start experiencing problems until after I(not the Dr) lowered the dose to 1.5iu's. So I don't think I'm abusing hgh, I'm a 38 yr old man responsibly using it under a doctor's care. I'm already consuming an enormous amount of protien, both long and fast acting along with liquid multi-vitamin am and pm.

Advil and other pain relievers have been linked to cutting muscle gains in half!The same neurological pathways that are effected to stop pain are linked to muscle recovery and growth(studies say so at least)
No pain, no gain?

If tendonitis pain comes with GH then why would people take it for tendonitis?

**CULT** · 12-05-2007, 02:43 AM

HGH will help it if you have tendonitis issues. For individuals who dont, a high dose will feel like tendonitis. Numbness, wrist pain, elbow pain, shoulder pain have all been reported. I believe when you experience some of these sides you know its working if one can withstand it. All of these sides go away after a few months and also when you stop the therapy. So expensive to experience HGH.

In my experience, 1.5 to 2 IU's a day is ideal for HRT.

Has anyone experienced pain in their shoulders from HGH?

I am prone to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and the hgh magnified it....but, I also have bursitus in both shoulders and hgh didn't bother my shoulders at all.

i have been takin gh for 12 weeks now, i am doin 10 iu a day 5 on 2 off. if you increase the dosage slowly, you should minimize gh side effects. Personally, the only big problem i have sometimes is the numbness, but everything else is in check. so good luck
