Arimidex and joint pain

[dopename]

My cycle is:

100mg Test Prop EOD

Started April 9th. I started Liquidex on the 14th at .5mg EOD.

Been doin good until today when I started my 1st set of squats. I had a some serious SHARP pains in my knees!!! I thought the pain from low estr would be a dull ache. It finally went away after a couple sets.

Then I remembered that I had a softball game on Wednesday and I noticed my elbow hurt like a mofo after I threw a few times.Again, sharp, acute pain!! I thought then it was just because I may not have warmed up enough. But I'm not sure now.

I reduced my liqDex dose down to .25mg E3D now to see what happens.

So I guess my question is, Is the sharp acute pain from low E or is it that I'm just a crybaby?

armidex can cause joint pain--some bros much worse than others. is there a reason you are taking it as your prop dose is not that high at all.

Just a little scared of Gyno. This is my first cycle, BTW.

Should I just ditch it all together until there is a definite need?

 

[eddymerckx]

yes. unless you are predisposed you should be fine at that dose.

I would drop it bro. If you end up needing it then take it. The fact that you got joint pain from it tells me your estro was pretty low to start with,.

what do you have set up for pct?

 

[dopename]

what do you have set up for pct?

I'm on a DR administered HRT. He knows about my cycle and wants me to do some bloodwork in a couple weeks.

I have read many on HRT don't do any kind of PCT, but my last week of the cycle, I'm gonna taper down to my HRT dose and run UNLEASHED and POST CYCLE. Maybe hit the adex too.

Yes agree with ^^^ drop the Dex as it does cause joint pain on some users. Try using some EFA's like flaxseed oil & Glucosomine is also beneficial. A NSAID like Voltaren at low dose .25mg twice daily will relieve the pain & inflamation but dont use them too long as I have reason to believe that they are catabolic to muscle & impeed skeletal muscle protein synthesis.

Sounds good to me bro.

I do appreciate the help guys!

Should I ask my DR for HCG when I see him? No shrinkage yet, just asking.

Is there anything else that I should ask him about?

Hey Bro,, I would drop the Adex unless you have a problem or have had a problem before with gyno -- your test dose is pretty moderate -- Adex will eliminate most of the estrogen in your system, and IMO, contrary to what many believe,, you need enough estrogen in your body to remain healthy and get good results --

Adex is a very powerful AI and is really not necessary with low doses unless you have a pre-existing problem

Holy Fuck, I woke up this morning and feel like total SHIT!! I am sleepy and I ache all over! It even feels like my teeth ache!!

So, this is my off day of Test Prop EOD. Would there be any benefit to taking an extra dose of 100mg of prop, just this one time? I thought it would give me the pick up that I get after a dose and then it would give my body some test to be able to convert.

Hey Bro -- I doubt It will make that much of a difference the test you shot yesterday is still in your system -- Just stop the Adex and ride it out for a few days

Highly unlikely he will give you HCG. However you can ask. My Dr. said it's not "medically necessary" until your nuts are visably shrunk. Well fuck that.

So guess what... I do it myself. SHHHHHHHHHHHH! Don't tell.

Hell ...Sometimes I can't even FIND my balls!!! j/k

150mg Test cyp/wk. 500 HCG/wk injected the day BEFORE I shoot my test.
Huevos, mi amigo... Huevos !!!

Hey guys, a little update, I feel much better today. I went ahead and did an extra shot yesterday and took 2 grams of Flax Seed Oil.

I'm not sure about my joints under pressure, but they do feel better just sitting here.

I never thought low estro would make you feel like such SHIT!!

 

[centy]

^ Good news. Less is definitely better when it comes to AI's.

BTW - Strong looking avatar for this being your first. nice. (No homo)

You need about 30ml (2 tbsp) of flaxseed oil ed until your joints & cramps come right. I'm not sure how that relates to gms.
