Your levels are fine, so do you actually feel bad or ????

You dont want to get on the TRT train, it is a life long ride. Diet and exercise and paramount to a healthy life, period. How long it will take to feel better is up to you and how hard you want to work, but in 30 days of good eating and working out hard you will probably feel pretty darn good

Yeah, but will he be able to pack on muscle at a decent rate, and heal up in a reasonable amount of time. That is my worries after getting my results back recently.

If your levels are fine, and you dont feel symptoms of Low T, then you are talking about taking steroids. Its a fine line, but it is there

I am not making any judgments on somebody for it, but lets all be honest about it. with his levels, he should still be able to put on muscle and heal just fine

Update

I talked with a doc at an anti-aging clinic. She agrees that my test is definitely low for my age(23). Some of you think it's fine, but I have all of the symptoms. Now, she said the first step is to get a cat scan to see if my pituitary gland is fine. I had a concussion via falling on my head when I was 6 years old. I'll get that done later this month. Secondly, if the scan comes back fine, She said I'll start with HCG. I've heard it only works in 30% of men, but don't know how accurate that is. Before that, I must get blood work done. I'm assuming it'll comeback similar to previous tests. I'm cool with boosting my test naturally. I look forward to more facial hair, leaning up, better sex drive/function and greater mood. The cost of the clinic is as follows:

Cat scan, out of pocket, $200-$300??
Lab work: covered by ins.
Initial lab consultation: $300
Monthly service fee: $150 (includes reviewing follow up labs)
HCG: $??

I'll ask her about estrogen too. I already have gyno, since puberty.

What do you think of this route? If everything works out, I should be on HCG in early De***ber.

And, I have an appt with another clinic to compare pricing. That's a bit expensive for me. I wash dishes in college, after all.
