Edema in legs/feet from Dbol???

[Honkey_Kong]

You say it's the first cycle in over a decade, but have you taken deca and dbol before? And how many weeks were you planning to take the dbol?

Yes, I've taken both before. No issues at all back then when I did. I don't remember the dosing back then, but same exact compounds during one of the cycles, test, dbol, and deca.

The dbol was going to be five weeks, so I stopped it just days short of when I was going to anyway.

This whole thing is just completely foreign to me. I mean I took off my socks earlier, and there was actually indentations of where the socks were for a while. But, I feel fine, other than getting winded easier than usual, which I figure was a result of the excess water-weight.

You were much younger when you took them last.

Are you 58yrs old now?

Can't expect an older body to put on 25lbs and not get some side effects.

43 currently. I was probably around 28 or so when I did my last cycle, so further back than I originally considered.

And yea, you're absolutely right. I know since I'm older, I should expect more side effects, especially at these heavier doses for faster gains. I'm just trying to make sure these gains aren't coming at potentially life-threatening risks.

The only edema issue that seems like it would be immediately life-threatening would be a blood clot. However, while I seem to have slightly more swelling in my right ankle/foot than my left, I do have it in both, which makes me feel that is not the issue.

So, I guess just stay off the dbol, take a break from the cycle for a bit, and my body should ease its way back to normal, right?
