    On 3rd month of HGH, upcoming disc surgery- stop HGH?

    I'm on trt, currently on a blast cycle and 3rd month of HGH. Gh has been awesome. I've got a terrible neck issue, I have a disc replacement surgery scheduled for later in august. How do have you guys handled surgeries while right in middle of running growth? I feel like I should just keep running it. But I have pre-op appointments coming up- blood work and stuff, will that affect those tests?

    Best of luck with your new disc! Ween off the growth hormone and save for later on after successful surgery. Difficult to articulate why, however your spine is so important, worth just being on a minimalist TRT strategy surrounding the operation. Only protein drug worth considering might be thymosin beta 4 to reduce inflammation afterwards.

    Thank you sir for the input! Makes sense. I am so ready for this surgery, it's been a long time coming. I'll check into the thymosin beta 4!

    I'm in total agreement with Vette. I dropped off of Serostim May 2021 prior to a lengthy surgery for C2-C7 laminectomies, fusion of C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-6, along with a couple of titanium rods, crosslink, and pedicle screws. This surgery was in June 2021.

    Hold onto your growth until ( in my opinion) after you have finished any physical therapy and are able to get back into an active lifestyle.

    I would consider using TB-500 and maybe BPC-157 post surgery and during physical therapy. Personally, I would use the minimum pain meds necessary.
