I agree with Rio 2001, it's either Tietze syndrome (inflammation with swelling) or costochondritis (inflammation). I've experienced it before and it went away after ibuprofen and a week of resting the whole upper body (lat pull downs also aggravated mine).

When I shoot my quads (and I have to now because my glutes are so full of scar tissue it's like trying to stick a needle through a two by four), I first draw out the juice (if it's oil) in a 21# syringe and then shoot it into a 25# syringe. This lets me inject with with a smaller needle, albeit...

Another good thing to do is to draw back on the plunger after you stuck the needle in. If blood comes into the syringe you're in a vein. If that happens, push the plunger back down, pull the syringe back out a little, and reinject the needle into a different area. And if you do hit a vein...

Before Dostinex became available in the U.S., the only other dopamine agonist approved for the treatment of increased levels of prolactin was bromocriptine. Dostinex has a number of advantages over bromocriptine: lower incidence of side effects, twice weekly dosing versus 2-3 times daily for...

Normal creatinine levels are between 0.6 and 1.2 mg/dL. Due to the greater amount of muscle mass generally present, males normally demonstrate higher creatinine levels than females. Two to 4 mg/dL indicate the presence of impairment of renal function. Greater than 4 mg/dL indicates serious...

Sorry, I meant epinephrine released from your adrenal glands, not glucagon. My biochem is a tad rusty.

You can get gyno from decca at that dose (depends on your genetics, I start to get it at 1000 mgs). Try a different gear. And yes, it definitely sounds like gyno. BTW, decca is just another form of testosterone that does get converted to estrogen. Take some nolvadex and switch to a different...

Practically all of the stored energy in your cells (glycogen = stored glucose) will be depleted regardless of whether or not you do cardio afterwards. That's so long as you lift hard for an hour, making sure to take good long breaks in between your sets (4 to 5 min). So long as you carb up...

Definitely sounds like gyno to me. Get some nolvadex and stay away from the eq. The gyno should resolve with time if you do nothing (couple more months) Take decca if you can get it instead of test (much lower incidence of gyno). Some gear affects others differently so you have to find the...

I agree with Keep it Beefy. Cardio after lifting is fine so long as you keep it light. After about an hour of hard lifting you've depleted the glycogen in your muscles and start to burn fatty acids. Immediately after working out drink down your creatine and eat a carb loaded meal with lots of...

Psych residency is for losers who couldn't get into a real residency like orthopaedics. Where did you go to med school anyhow, Ross Medical School of the Caribbean? Emo, M.D.
