Adding cycle to HGH makes my hands hurt. What do I do?

Adding cycle to HGH makes my hands hurt. What do I do to stop this? I have already reduced my HGH to 3 IU's a day from 5IU's. Every morning I wake up with aching and numb hands. They are swollen from fluid retention.

How long have you been running it?
What make is it?
Have you tried coming down to 2ius and slowly creeping up 1iu at a time?
Are you taking anything else?

Been running HGH since Feb. Currently 3IU's and 100 mcg T4 daily.

Added Prop and NPP 2 weeks ago at 120mg each 3 times a week. Gained 10lbs in last 2 weeks. So retaining some water. Brand is Genotropin.

This is second cycle since starting growth and both cycles make my hands hurt when I get to 200lbs.

I have not tried going to 2IU's I have dropped down to 3IU's from 5IU's already, guess I will try that. Anything else?

Are you on 5on 2 off protocol? If so I would have 3 days off and try lowering the dose to 2ius and then going back on 5on 2off. If your taking it 7 days try having a couple of days off and lowering the dose..

Ive had Genotropin and its a great growth

I am on 7days. I will try taking a few days off and lowering the dose. Thanks. Does it make sense to up the dose after my cycle is over when my hands then quit hurting or should I just stay at same IU per day?

I would start at the 2iu abd about every 5 - 7 days ramp up .5 - 1iu and repeat every 7 days until you are at the dosage you want to be at. let the side tell you if you are ramping to quickly.
