What are you guys doing to keep numb hands from bothering you while sleeping on GH?

[Sectør]

Never had this issue with CTS/carpal tunnel until I added IGF1-LR3

Last two nights my hands gave been going numb. I wish I could say it's just uncomfortable, but it's almost even slightly painful.

Might lower my gh dose for a bit until it subsides. Is there anything else I could do for more immediate relief? Maybe soaking my hands in hot water, or even icing it?

one thing i found that helped a little was prebed a round of stretching the muscles in the forarm for 60 seconds pr stretch.

I’m running 8iu TPs and my hands are numb as fuck when I sleep too it’s brutal!

I also hold A LOT of water in my ankles! Wondering how I can flush that out also!

Increase cardio
Carb cycle
Drink more water
Lower sodium intake

^^ if that fails, a mild potassium sparing diuretic like HCTZ could help, or just lower your dose until the edema subsides then slowly ramp back up

You just have to stop using it

Take a break

I got the carpal tunnel wrist guards and used them for the first time last night... made no difference for me. not sure if they take time to work

All of these, including the last one (HCTZ), have worked well for me.

I'm loathe to admit it, but lowering sodium is probably a good idea for people using larger GH doses + pushing large amounts of food. I always assumed salting to taste was fine, since I'm also drinking a lot of water...but if you're salting large quantities of food to taste - and you're increasing food - then your sodium intake is basically scaling with your food quantities. And while it might make sense to eat more carbs / protein / fat, you might not actually need any more sodium.

That concern, coupled with the extra mineral retention from GH + AAS, and we probably have to follow some different rules re: sodium intake compared to most people.

I turn from one side to the other every hour or so because one hand gets completely numb and feels like it’s on fire. It’s always just one hand at a time depending on which side I sleep on. I’m taking 5ius on non training days and 9ius on training days. I’m on black tops meditrope.

What dose of HCTZ are you taking?

I' m on 4ui omnitrope before sleep ,after 1 month of use ,this curse of hell starts. It's so annoying. 4 days ago i got some 25mg hydroclorothiazide caps , and seems that it is working! The numbness persists but the horrific nerve compressing pain did not wake me up these last 3 nights. I also upped my sleep combo a little (trazodone + melatonin + mag taurate + melissa officinalis). I also got a McDavid Brace that is probably helping.

spoke too soon. kept using them and they have helped some. not completely by any means but they do seem to help with the pain at night
