New to Testosterone and HGH
I am new to this forum. Just a brief overview: I am 52 y/o i had worked out regularly for 10 -15 years, and maintained a decent physique (5'7" 185). I stopped working out for 3 years, and the obvious happened, became fat (5"7" 210). I started working out again 6-7 months ago, along with taking 30 mg of topical testosterone, and altering my diet considerably (high protein complex carbs etc.) The results have been ok, but recently (3 weeks ago) started on norditropin. Have been doing about 2 mg (6 iu's) e/d, and have notice some loss in fat tissue around waist. Since the start of working out 6 months ago, have lost 3% bodyfat, but now weight up to 220. However the bodyaches and pains, along with the swollen hands and ankles are almost intolerable. After reading some of the forums today, I am going to lower my Norditropin dose to 0.5/1.0 mg (1.5/3 iu's) e/d to see if the aches, pains and swelling subsides. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
