Major Knee & Elbow tendon pain on GH

jrl3741 · Jul 30, 2012

I am a 50 year old male who practices Jiu Jitsu and has been on 3.5 cc/daily of HGH (highly rated chinese generic) for the past 2 months. I have developed a ton of knee and elbow tendon pain that it is nearly un-bearable and I am struggling walking up/down stairs. It feels like both knee/elbow joints are swollen. I started running 2.5 mg of TB-500 2x/week to ease the pain and it is still getting worse. I ran the same dosage of HGH for a year about 1.5 years ago. Am I doing something wrong?

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

well I hope you mean 3.5 IU ???
how about stopping until the pain goes away ..then starting up again at 2 IU ..

My mistake, 3.5 IU is correct.
Is this pain common? I have not heard of this before.

Thanks in advance

The problem is your a 50 year old man. Joint pains are going to increase every year if you don't slow down. I would also suggest deca to help.

I am on my first gh run. Started at 2iu and now at 4iu. 2im shot in the am and 2iu sq in the pm. My lower back has been sore, the whole time on and off. Elbows, ankle. I have been on for 7weeks. Only some people get this side. I just take ibuprofen when its bad.

Also a high carb and high sodium will make ut worse. Cut back on th.ese if possible

reduce sodium but not mineral intake. reduce simple sugar intake.

when is the last time you had blood work done?

consider having a male hormone panel done and include GH and IGF-1 levels.

your test could be low alongside an elevated progesterone level which would contribute to joint pain and fluid retention. if you aren't on HRT, I am certain the benefit would be greater with your GH use.

lastly, consider dropping to 2iu if you haven't already.
