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?

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?

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.
