Good old joint pain Question...

**alex18** · 01-08-2013, 09:27 AM

Alright kids... here's the deal, i recently switched out my bum rips for Serostim and BOY what a difference....but thats for another thread... so i rolled for a few weeks at 3.6iu and after about 10 days i started getting some pretty intense joint pain in my left shoulder, i took a few days off any upper body work and it gradually got more intense. I was pretty sure it wasnt a training injury and this was confounded by the fact that on my 2 days 'off' (5/2) the pain subsided considerably. I started again but at 1.8iu to see what difference that made...the pain came back with full force. So question.... should i just roll at 1.8iu and do cardio/leg/core work and wait it out (current plan of action)... or give it a rest off for a week? No current AAS use ... 225lbs... ( the doses may seem low but this stuff is so strong i dread to think how my body would react at a higher dose haha)

thanks.

Tough call. Just don't hurt it worse. Try MSM powder for joint pain. GREAT stuff.

Normally, the joint pain due to HGH are in the hands. The carpal nerves get squeezed due to the pressure from the water retention. I'm not saying that HGH is not the cause of your shoulder pain. It's just unusual.

Agreed....although i think a lot of (not all) people experience some temporary joint pain.

I'm interested in listening to as many people's thoughts as possible... So keep the comments coming...

Gut feeling says keep rolling at 1.8iu for now and avoid shoulder use.....

I'm not so sure that should be happening. At the very least question the legitimacy of your stuff

It's right out of a hospital here in Baltimore....

True could be lasting effects from the rips then, I seem to have had some problems like that from rips/generics.

i get that in my hands also. Since you were really using nothing before. I wouldnt jump up in dose so fast. The sides will be worse. 3.6iu was probably 2 high of an initial dose. I would hang at your current dose. And slowly increase week by week

Man with our combined experiences on them damn rips.... Your knees.... My digestive system... Now possibly my shoulder.....never again!!

I switched out from 4iu of riptropin.... Went with 3.6 just because its easier for measuring from the 18iu vial. Gonna stick at 1.8 and see how it goes before considering bumping back up

I understand. They are what i use also. I wouldn't consider the rips as being on anyth ing. Some people need to start lower then the 1.8 at the start

for real man. don't rule it out. my joint point showed up bad when i STOPPED all the generics, it getting a lot better now though.

**Edwin23q** · 01-08-2013, 11:16 PM

I had pain in my elbow as soon I started my hgh of 2iu a day. It goes away after a few weeks though, I'm now up to 6iu a day and the only problem I have is I'm always as hungry as a cow.
The pain was so bad that it stopped me from lifting my usual weights on my left arm. Hang in there, if it doesn't go away in a few weeks then you might have to drop the dosage yet again, then start working your way up.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Squats this morning.....my legs are going to seriously benefit from this upper body rest haha.

The pain does seem less this morning, I have full mobility it's just a hassle/ache more than anything. On the plus side..... A lower dose means more time to save for the next 2 kits haha.

alex- are you still having the digestion issues from the generics? I'm having the constipation problems you mentioned and I think its been going on a while without me realizing. Its so weird that whatever we were taking did this...

Nah man it cleared up pretty quickly after I stopped the rips... Like a day or so later a shit a ton and it was awesome.... Not a single issue on my sero shots now.... Also to update I'm back at 3.6iu and the shoulder pain has gone... With your const I presume your diet hasn't changed?
