NEED HELP...hands going numb and getting worse

[VulgarDisplay]

As some of you may know I have been prescribed Humatrope for a Pitutary tumor. I am taking 0.6mg/day equvalent to 1.8 IU I think. I've been taking it since the middle of March along with 300mg of cypionate/week. The hand numbness is getting progressively worse to the point it wakes me up at night and forces me to change postions. Occasionaly it feels like it is originating from the elbow and forearm. My questions are: does this sound familiar? Should this be happening on such a moderate dose? Finally, is there anything I can do about it, since discontinuation is not an option.

I know there is alot of peptide experience on this board so I'm thanking you gentelmen in advance for taking the time to give me some advice.

When you sleep do you bend your wrists inward? They have braces that will prevent you from doing that. My wife has carpal tunnel syndrome(who doesn't?) and they gave her the braces. They could help you.

No I don't bend my wrists when I sleep. The numbness is not only at night, it occurs any time such as when I'm writing, using my mouse, shaving etc. It will even happen when I'm watchin TV and my arm is in the wrong position. I feel it start to tingle and I feel pressure then I have to move it or shake it to get the numbness to go away.

Thanks for the suggestion....do you happen to know technically how and why this helps?

I have that problem too and never used GH, it happens while I sleep, watch TV, read a book ... maybe it's not GH related ?

did u ever have that problem while not on GH ? maybe u should see ur doctor and ask him about the CTS problem ?

I was told as we grow pressure is put on the capalaries and effects circulation. CoQ10 promotes circulation thougout the body and to the heart. Worked almost immedietly for me

I have had it before the GH when I was 306lbs and my BP was 160/120!! But now I'm 270 and BP is 132/78 as of yesterday so I'm not sure why it is occuring again. Could it be water retention? Although I'm quite vascular and don't look bloated.

Yes it could be water retention. This post has some good info and is recent.

I would have to agree with water retention on my part....it only occurs with me while on cycle....kinda sucks...I cant use my mouse for more than 10 minutes ...it happens alot when I sleep on my arms and when I sit down for to long....I just came to terms with it and I just deal with it...I know it interrupts your sleep....trust me I can vouch for that...but its interesting for me to hear this occurs while on GH..how long did you go untill you noticed this happens

I've been taking it since the middle of March and started noticing it about 3 weeks ago. It has been interupting sleep for about 4 days and was bad this am.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

This is exactly what I was having problems with too. Went to the doctor and they said i had thorasic outlet syndrome. I f you haven't had it your whole life then the only logical reason for it is putting on size. basicaly your nerves and blood vesels get compressed, cuting the blood supply down enough were your limbs go numb. This stuff sucks but it will go away. I dieted down and bulked up and it went away. I do use gh a lot and never had this problem until i used it, not saying it is the problem but it started in the begining of my gh use. I think i just got to big to quick. the diet helped it.

Try doubling the dose and switching to EOD-i.e 3.6 iu EOD preferrably take after a work out or cardio session.

When it happened to me I thought I was going to die, and couldn't sleep for weeks it seemed til I lowered the dose (not an option in your case) later on in my experience level I found EOD solved the the numbness problem.
