Femara and Joint Pain? Mr. X?

[RippedRule]

I am currently on week 6 of my 12 weeker. [500mg test e/week]

I have been using Liqui-Fem @ 1.25mg/day to keep bloat down and to keep gyno away. It has me looking pretty dry and I think I'm actually losing some body fat and gaining weight at the same time. My problem is my wrist/elbow pain is unbearable. Seriously, I can;t do any straight bar, no upright rows, bentover rows, etc. Bench is tough with my elbow. Does femara cause joint pain? I know it pulls water out and I sweat my ass off but would it help to lay off the femara and switch to nolva @ 20mg/day? I havent noticed any nip probs so I'm thinking the fem may be overkill?

i know what u mean bro. i'm only on day 6 of 1.12mg ED and my right elbow is killing me. i didn't expect it this soon. my wrist had been hurting, started cycle, felt better, started liqui-fem, hurts again. and i start winny in a month for 6 weeks at 50mg ED, maybe just mon-fri.

damn, that winny isnt gonna help. I almost feel like the fem is pulling water from my joints and making them "dry" I dont even know if this is reasonable but its what it feels like...

For some, when letrozole dries you out, your joints might hurt. That's not true for everyone, but some individuals like you might have this problem. The few things you can do right away are, lower letro dosage to 1mg ed for a week, then .5mgs ED (run it at around that dose). You can also add Glucosamine and Chondroitin along with hempseed oil ED - that should help with your joints.

you need to switch to something like aromasin or AIFM. you could also add some low dose nandrolone (though it may or may not offset the femara (because of PgR suppression)

you could also try moving to EOD or EOOD dosing

I'm going to try 1.25mg twice/week on the days i do my injections.

If I start noticing signs of gyno or bloat I'll increase dosage...I'll let you know how it works.

if i switch to EOD will my levels be stable? it's working lovely but i do have joint pain. i was thinking of adding just 200mg deca a week but i hold water w/ deca and i kinda want the nuts i'm holding onto now.
- how do some do over 2mg/day???

letrozole has a half life of about 45 hours, so EOD is a possibility. You can lower dosages and switch timing too.

Read over what I said, the joint issue is not common for 'all' users; I found that a minority of users experience the problem - mainly the "best" responders to letrozole. Meaning, the guys that get the most out of the product (real dry). Personally, I can go up to 3mg ED without a problem.

I've been on letro now for a few weeks along with formestane (inject). And, only just tonight have I noticed the slightest pain in my knees. Seems to be doing the job. Nips still a little puffy, but actual fiberous lump has diminished quite a bit- hardly noticeable. I will say that the results are better for me with the formestane than without. I'm a bit of a freak for that stuff. Love the effects. Hopefully, they'll keep loving me back.. Going to have both on hand from now on.
