    IGF1 tingling fingers sides

    Does IGF1 have the similar tingling finger side effects as with HGH?

    50mcg ed pwo... first evening after taking it the next morning I woke up to my hands feeling like they were going to split open from the tingling and numbness and the sensation of pressure in my carpal wrist area.

    the answer is yes ......hgh breaks down into igf1 so yes it would have the same side affects as hgh

    yea, OH REALLY thats what I thought.. The mechanisim of GH is it is either cleaved into IGF or it causes an IGF release from the liver(not sure which) but that makes complete sense. Pete, I am not currently on GH but was just prior to starting the IGF. But I do believe I can feel the IGF doing something already, nothing major I just feel different.
    So just speculating GHRH/GHRP is to HGH what HGH is to IGF-1. You are just skipping the "middleman" per say

    thats right igf1 gets produced in the liver.....hgh gets delivered to the liver then produces igf1 so you are skipping a step...

    this stuff must be insanely potent because I am only on my 4th dose. I went 50mcg for my first 3 doses and now tonight 100mcg and I swear I can already feel and see a marked difference in the way my body feels much harder and fuller and I also feel a sensation of power deep within my muscle bellies. I am seeing much more striations especially in my chest and delts. This is something I have not experienced before so all that I can attribute it to is the lr3.

    I was on 8iu/day HGH and 50mcg IGF-lr3 three times per week when I felt my first tingling. I worked up to 8iu/day by increasing from 2iu/day at 1iu every week. I was steady at 50mcg IGF-lr3 im pwo. I was on 8iu/day HGH for 3 weeks when I woke up one morning and my hands were puffy. My fingers were like sausages. I couldn't bend my fingers. My thumb, fore finger, middle finger and ring fingers were tingling. At first I thought it was carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). first thing I did was stop taking HGH and IGF-lr3. After 2 weeks the swelling and tingling subsided. Then I went to an orthopedic surgeon and he diagnosed CTS. I work on the computer all day and surf this forum an night. I need to get a life, huh? LOL I believe that I was a candidate for CTS due to years of working at the computer but the use of HGH and IGF-lr3 accelerated the CTS. I think the water retention in the joints increased the inflammation in the joints and thus aggravating the tendons and ligaments. I started back on HGH (2iu/day) and IGF-lr3 (50mcg/3ew) and at the same time got wrist braces. I also started a stretching and massage therapy for the CTS. There is very little discomfort now. Conclusion? Yes, I think HGH and IGF-lr3 can cause tingling. But with stretching and massage the effects of CTS can be minimized.
