Will GH help my 70 yr old mom who fell down the stairs?

[RamboStallone]

You are looking at things through bodybuilder eyes, not medical eyes. BIGGEST risk for a post menopausal women with low estrogen is breaking bones! If his mom broke a hip/femur in her fall, stats say she has less than 2 years to live. For her GH will add to bone mass, muscle mass and strength, skin thickness and help healing current situation. Even just 1iu will do this. Natural at 70 y/o Gh secretion is next to zero so it does not take much.

No I am not looking at it as a bodybuilder. No doc would prescribe HGH for what you just mentioned. Its not a magic healing drug.

To each their own but theres no way in hell I'd ever give my mom or anyone any meds.. fuck if she developed cancer or ANYTHING I'd feel like I caused it. And I wouldn't want to carry that weight. So I wouldn't do a dam thing myself. I'd let a doctor prescribed it. As bodybuilders I think we all like to pretend we know what we're doing (and I'm sure some are very intelligent)- but as lk3 pointed out in a recent thread- just reading some studies doesn't mean we know jack shit (yes off on a tangent but kind of aligns with this topic in a way.)

With that said I wish your mom a speedy recovery.

Exactly. We don't know how a 70 year old underweight women with who knows what medical history is going to react to HGH. Its a stupid idea, point blank.

You don't see them prescribing HGH willy nilly in the medical field like this.

My mom who has recently moved in with me because she couldn't handle my parents old house all by herself fell down the stairs in my house yesterday. I rushed her to the ER and luckily she did not break any bones but strained both wrists and has a lot of bruising. The doctor basically did x rays, prescribed pain meds and told me to take her home. Would giving her 2-4 ius of GH a day help with her recovery. It seems like she has strained her tendons a lot.

She may benefit from HRT (Estrogen/progesterone/testosterone/thyroid) which will increase bone/muscle strength, improve coordination/memory/focus and mood. These will directly and indirectly help her heal faster, help prevent another fall, and make her bones more resilient to fracture. HRT dose for HGH is 1-3 IU, the goal is IGF-1 level in the mid 200s or low 300s max.


On top of HRT, an exercise routine that include lifting weights and some cardiovascular exercise for the heart and lungs will also help prevent falls and damage from falls by increase dexterity/coordination/balance, muscle function and bone strength.

I don't see what HGH is supposed to do for this situation. Some of you think it is a magic healing drug LOL!

exactly. There's not much evidence that GH actually promotes recovery from injury also tbh. You can scroll around the internet for actual studies but there are no real conclusive ones that say for sure it promotes recovery from injury.

It promotes fatloss, fluid retention, helps you retain muscle in a cut, and a few other things with sleep but in my experience it does very little if anything for actually increasing recovery from an injury.

I don't think I would give a 70 year old GH.

I think 1iu a day would help a lot. I would take her to a anti-aging Doctor.

Look into using low dose nandrolone.

I was thinking of that myself a few years back, under a doctors supervision preferably , effects include ( obviously copy and pasted as we all know this), isn't this why a lot of women are put on HRT??? Just my 2 cents....Hope your Mom feels better I worry about mine all the time.......

• Enhance Bone Mineral Content
• Increase Collagen Synthesis

My thoughts exactly, The positive effects of therapeutic nandrolones include muscle growth, appetite stimulation and increased red blood cell production, and bone density. Clinical studies have shown them to be effective in treating anemia, osteoporosis, and breast cancer.Just to name SOME of the benefits of concern to this situation.

BPC-157 may provide her some benefit with tendon healing if that's the extent of her injury. Otherwise just staying active, walking and body resistance exercises should get her back to baseline. No steroids, no GH. Adapting your apt/house with grab bars in the bathroom/shower, and a stair railing might help prevent this in the future.

gh doesnt increase bone density nor do hormones. dealing with women who have bone loss osteoporossis and what go along with it have a very hard time just slowing it (bone loss ) down. my mom has been dealing with this for 10+ years and we discussed hormone stuff and with her docs but there is just not sufficient evidence to support this sorta thing and there are consiquences that could out weigh the positive aspects.

in older folks fractures associates with slip and fall injuries that are indirectly related to muscle loss in terms of motor control and padding for the fall are the biggest cause of bed rest/demise. this is a very real issue that is quite complex.

my mom works now with a group of similar aged women who all have similar diagnosis and address it through various types of training and diet modifcation they are very anti drug and anti sup and have documented a good bit of progress even more then traditional meds can offer. the tradition meds are quite harsh.

this one of those things that is not a good idea to ask internet juice heads. my moms on 7 iu of gh and grma of deca at 85... we share!
figure out your diet n traning befre fucking with family.

My mom is 78 years old German woman who was infected with HIV 15 years ago. She’s still kicking it along taking her PRESCRIBED medication and doing well. Don’t inject her with nothing. So as the Dr tells you. If you don’t like what that Dr said go see a specialist. I can tell you one thing that helps my mom when she feels pain, MARIJUANA! She smokes it a couple times a week and says she feels great.
