991 Test level too high?

[husker3in4]

I made a post earlier about having distal bicep tendinosis and how to heal it, now I cant find it. In any case..

I have and update and some questions: My latest blood tests just came back:

Testosterone 991 ng/dl
Luteinizing Hormone .3 mIU/ml
FSH .7 mIU/ml

My testosterone seems a little high, and the other 2 seem a bit low. Could these levels be causing my tendons to heal slower? I haven't changed anything on my TRT, but I suspect it might have something to do with my thyroid being taken out and being on synthroid to correct my thyroid levels. Anyone?

That's a semi-high T number, seems 700-1100 is what most people shoot for during TRT, but it really depends on what your doctor and you decide works for you. What and how much are you taking per week? How are your lipids, and how do you feel besides the biceps problem? I don't think that number would correlate to your tendinitis though, if anything it might aid in healing speed (more for muscle tissue though). You really just need to rest the muscle and take it easy until it heals. Some stimulation is ok and might speed up recovery, but go easy. I can't comment on your thyroid levels. You could look at taking vitamin E or TB500 as well for recovery, but the best thing to do is talk to your doctor. If he prescribed your TRT you have nothing to hide and can get a direct answer.

your lipids being strained will tell you if its too high. i would rather have 550 test levels and be healthy across the board than have it at 1000 and have half my lipids strained. you would actually feel better and have stronger libido with 550 T levels and being healthy than being 1000 or 3000 T levels and being lethargic and have insomnia etc.

also T levels I don't see how it would affect your tendonitis issue. that is inflammation and your body healing an injury.. yeah you are in a rush i get it.. but you need to let that bitch heal and be patient. not rush things and turn it into a chronic problem.

tb500 yes

deca for the ligaments as well..

not too high....shouldn't be causing more pain to tendonitis, but could have been the original cause because you had high test levels you thought you were a king in the gym or whatever, and hurt yourself without knowing it (could have masked the pain at the time)
