Hey, I'm 51 and been on a gel for 9 months. Sorry, but my balls 'aint useless. Neither are yours. . Last month, I started to finally see a bit of shrinkage along with a slight amount of pain. I said "F" that and started doing hcg. Within a week, all was better than ever... I mean EVER! Libido has increased, as well. Just something to think about. Its so easy to administer and the benefits rock.
