Hey Bros, need advice here plz

[zedhed]

Ok, I have decided to try Deca for joints. And I mean exactly that for joints, I could care less about size for now as my knees are my priority for this expermint.
Now I know youre gonna say see a Dr and find out the problem. Trust me I am very aware of the problem. The problem is chondromalaicia and various surgeries. This is not something new for me as I have had it all my life. I lied about it to get into the Army, I had it in track in High School, I had it in track in Jr High School and I still have it. No surprise. BTW the fix that ALL of the Dr's recommend is not to any leg work.
My thoughts are FUCK THAT!
Ok, so I am thinking about 75-100mg/week. As I stated above throw size out of this equation, I dont care about it at all for now.
So I am asking all of you EXPERIENCED guys here for your advice on this. Also I am on HRT.
I am 49, 6'1" and 230.
I take Fish Oils and Cissus, 8000mg ea.
Is this the right dosage or at least a good starting place for me?
Will I have to adjust my HRT dosage of Test Cyp because of the Deca?
Will this give me Deca dick?
Will this shut me down?
OTHER?
Thanks to all you that provide advice.

On HRT you probably already are "shut down" or close too it. The danger from deca is that it is a progesterone that can lead to increased prolactin which can crush libido and cause ED.

100mg/wk of deca should be enough to see an improvment in your joints. That low a dose is unlikely to give you deca dick but if you're already taking roughly 100mg/week of test cyp for HRT, that's a high total dosage of androgen to take long term.

Deca is sometimes used in combination with testosterone for HRT so you may want to talk to your doctor about how to incorporate it. You could even try using just the deca for HRT; if that does give you deca dick, it's easy enough to go back on test.

If you are looking for temporary relief or you want to stay on deca then yes it will help. When you come off of it, you are back to sqaure one. As far as the prolactin issues there are many drugs out there that can help like my two favorite cabor and pramipexole. Hope that helps goodluck to ya.

nydj66, Thanks for your informative reply. I thought shutdown was dead sex drive and probs getting /maintaining erection,, which being on HRT I dont have. Thanks for clarifying that.
My dosage of Test Cyp is 2.5ml/week. I break that up into 1.25ml 2x/week, on Tue and Fri.
Also forgot to mention that I was getting a little bit of itchy nipps so am on .05mg Anastrozole eod.
So at 1.25 ml 2x/week could I replace the Cyp with the Deca? Is that a possibility? I am gathering that it is from your post above but am just checking on the exact dose.
Thanks for your great post Bro!

Niightz, how come cabor and pramopexole, do they do what the Arimedex does? Sorry to be so dumb, am just starting out in all of this.
Thanks Bro.

To answer your question I'd need to know what concentration your test cyp is (mg/ml).

Cabergoline and pramopexole are dopamine agonists that will lower prolactin levels. Armidex is an aromatase inhibitor that will lower estrogen levels.

Ok here you go,
Test Cyp, 200mg/ml
Deca 250mg/ml.
Thanks Bro much appreciate.

So you're doing 500mg/wk of test cyp? No respectable doctor has prescribed that high a dosage for HRT; that's a cycle. It's no wonder you have itchy nips.

Running that high a dosage for months on end is not recommended. You will sent your hemoglobin through the roof, raise your blood pressure, destroy your lipid profiles, etc.

Typically HRT is 100mg/week. Some men will require 200mg/wk to get their free testosterone into the normal range but that's about the top end.

For what you're trying to do, .5ml/wk of test cyp and .4ml/wk of deca would be more reasonable. And definitely get some bloodwork done periodically to make sure you aren't doing more harm than good.

This is exactly what my script reads;
Testosterone Cypiona 200MG/MLx10ML
Inject 2.5ML IM every week as directed as directed by Physician.

Wow, are you a professional athlete with a team supplied physian?

Because you're basically doing a doctor supervised steroid cycle. Anyway, good for you.

Try replacing 100mg/wk of test (0.5ml) with 100mg/wk of deca (0.4ml) and see if that helps your joints. You should also be able to get your doctors input on this since he's willing to write you that generous script.
