Hand and finger numbness on Jintropin

big4nuthin · Jan 23, 2005

Heres the deal I am 3 mos into my Jintropin GH @5-6 iu's a day. My hands and fingers are always tingling especially if I clench my fist. Its really starting to bother me. Funny, because in the beginning I was really skeptical about the quality of my GH because I was not experiencing any hand numbness. Now I have it alot. Anybody else getting this other than when they sleep or first thing in the morning? Any idea what might be causeing this? thanks to all those who take the time to anwer!

Increased cell turgor due to hGH use can put pressure on nerves causing tingling and even carpel tunnel syndrome. Reduce your dose and it should go away.

big go get a carpel tunnel splint glove (or two)--good ones not cheapies and wear them while your sleeping---it will help immensely.

You want the ones with the metal sleeve in there so you can prebend it upward to keep your wrist from curling/sagging while you sleep

DG, that's so much help. I've been looking for something to keep my hands from having problems while on GH & I think that these gloves, Bromo & a mild diuretic taken 3x a week will work really well. THANKS!!!!!!!!

I've been getting the same thing now, especially when I'm sleeping. I've been post-cycle now for a few months only taking protein and arg/orn. pills. I thought it was a pinched nerve or possibly arthritis. Weird, maybe I'll try a pair of those gloves. Anybody know what else might be causing it?

Anyone who didnt know this was a very typical side of gh use hasnt done their research. Water retention in the hands has this effect on the nerves and as Snarf said can cause Carpel Tunnel symptoms.

also like was said drop to 4iu or so and see if that doesn't help as well. It is a VERY common side as mike said.

Thanks again to all who gave some insight

I understood this was a common side effect, just did'nt realize how aggravating it is. My hands and sometimes it seems like my arms are always tingling. Lately I have even gegun to feel some stiffness in shoulders and neck which I understand is also a common side. I guess one just has to adjust dosages and tuff it out gfrom there. I just wanted to make sure these were not signs of something wrong. I hear stories of pro's using up to 12-18 iu's a day of GH, I now wonder how that is possible without experiencing major misery. Anybody doing GH in excess of 10iu's?
