IM Injections. We had good results, increased energy, sleep, feeling good! We ramped it up, rather quickly I guess (less than two weeks) to 6 iu ed (3 iu split) and both experienced the same sides. Shoulder pain and or stiffness, he has fingers and arm tingling, I don’t have that but I do have elbow pain bilaterally almost like tennis elbow. Now we are back to 3 iu, after a two week ramp down. And we would like to get back to 5iu ed. Now, questions;
1. Slow ramp up is what? We are on a 7 month program now 3 months in. Every 10 days increase 1iu. No problem just go down 1iu and stay there 10 days see if the sides go away. If it does, go back up. If it doesn't drop down another 1iu.
2. What is the cause of the sides? HGH retains water. You feel them particularly in your joints because your nerves gets squeezed by the extra water. It's temporary so don't worry.
3. Recommendations? Drop down 1 iu and see how you feel.
