    tell doctor

    ive been running gear for 6 months now and before i even started i went to the doctors and got a full physical so that
    1) my doctor knew everything i was going to take , still the same today
    2) so he had the information if something happened and no one knew the problem

    dr confidentally is a major thing , they would lose there practise if they got busted and it wouldnt hold up in court either

    always always tell ur doc what u are or have taken , u never know when that info could save u

    not sure what all the fear is over.. dr/patient confidentiality

    definitely a newbie.. so just trying to get educated with a cycle coming up in november for myself

    Hardly. The justice system is usually much more concerned with getting doctors to testify against their patients than anything else. There are many ways to get around doctor/patient confidentiality. And once subpoenaed, they will tell the court anything it asks.
    But the issue isn't your doc, it is your health insurance provider and any future provider. They have full access to your medical records...where your doc will make mention of any illegal substances you're using and WILL document what he treated for (like an abscess caused by steroid injections). Do you see why full disclosure isn't always such a good idea now? (in the US, at least)

    Bunch of crap. For one thing I used to work in human resources and out of all the employees, I knew who was pregnant, who had a substance abuse problem, who had HIV, who was seeing a psychiatrist and who had embarrassing sexual problems because I had access to all the medical records...and I was a 20-year-old kid.

    Many doctors do look down on steroid users and this will affect the care you receive.

    Many urgent care centers disclose patient visits to employers even if you do not use your health insurance; this is something you agree to when you go in. (I suppose you could always give them a fake company.)

    I would say any time you seek medical help for anything related to AAS - emergencies or blood work - pay cash and if possible don't give your name.

    And, the situation the OP described is an immediate emergency room kind of situation, not a post on message board situation! If your leg swells up and you can't move, there is no reason in the world that Internet Land should hear about it before some random urgent care center does.
