    GH is produced in the pituitary, IGF-1 is produced in the liver. You're are correct with implying that the IGF-1 should also reflect elevated HGH levels. In normal cases the IGF-1 will react on a feedback loop with the amount of GH being produced. As I mentioned above, the OP needs to get with a specialist on this subject who knows how to treat this. Don't think he's mentioned having an MRI, which should be a primary objective IMO.
