growing pains?

**Vullfromsc** · 05-30-2011, 04:24 PM

I have been taking elitropin green tops at 2iu 5 on 2 off for about 8 weeks.. started getting awkward soreness, mostly in my knees and hips, about a week ago. Is it possible that my growth plates aren't closed at the age of 25? I am already 6' 2", and have been growing pretty steadily since high school (graduated as a senior exactly at 6' tall) but I figured I was done.

I don't know if it helps but I am 40 and after reducing down I am on 3 IU ED and experiencing the same pains. My shoulders are sore as well. I had ramped up to 6 IU though. Since these sides kicked in I went back down and will ramp up slower. This is advice given by several of the board VETS.
I take Ibuprophren ED to help with the soreness.

If you're into it 8 weeks and at 2iu 5/2 the pains you're experience is most likely not from the HGH. Are you taking anything else besides the HGH?

not to question lifting technique, but i noticed forearm pain around same time same stuff. I bougth some wrist straps and pain went. i assumed my pain was increase in weights along with poor technique. technique fixed pain gone.

has your weights on squats gone up at all in the past 8 weeks? how is technique and are you using wraps or support? Have you increased cardio. bad running form can cause this as well.

just a thought im far from an expert
