HGH MAJOR Side-effects. PLEASE help!!

[Zerxes]

OK, so I can't seem to make a closed fist with my left hand as of Friday. I cant even FORCE it into a fist because the tendon in my hand(I think--it feels like it is in the PALM of the hand) is so tight that it just will not happen. Truth be told, I don't know how long it has been this severe, as I just noticed it the last day or two. I'm really worried if it will even allow me to lift it is so bad, although I'm going to try my best tomorrow. I cant make a fist, but I might be able to grab a bar. Has anyone else had this effect from GH, and how long until it diminished??? Please help

I got CTS when I went over 12iu's of GH I will never go over 4.5iu's again I am happy with 4.5iu's! How many iu's are you taking? When I quit the GH it went away after a while but took some time!

Thanks for the response bro. I am at 5.5 ius as of right now(off as of Friday though). Do these symtoms sound like CTS to you?? I always thought that a wrist ailment.

does it hurt when you type on the computer? Or when you do exercises that involve pushing movement (Chest/shoulder) days?

Let me make this 100% clear. I have no pain whatsoever. I just can NOT make a fist in my left hand. The tendons are SO tight, that they refuse to allow it. It doesnt hurt, which makes it all the worse I think, because I just feel like something isn't working here. If I do manage to make it close to a fist, the ENTIRE hand goes numb & tingly. I have been on since February btw. I have been having CONSTANT numbness problems in my hands, but this is beyond anything I ever expected with this.

 

[gearedup50]

numbness is one thing that comes with HGH I got it in my entire arm before but I have never had this nor heard of it! I wish I could be more help to you if it continues I would definitely see a doctor! Hopefully someone else can be of more help!

LOL. I just did a Yahoo Search on CTS and this is definitely what I have. I just hope it goes away with the ceasation of the HGH. I'm going to throw in some Glucosamine/MSM for now. Here's what the yahoo site said:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms
• A tingling or numb feeling in the hand and/or fingers;

• Shooting pains in the wrist or forearm, and sometimes extending to the shoulder, neck and chest, or foot;

• Difficulty clenching the fist or grasping small objects;

For many unfortunate sufferers, CTS has a pattern of flaring up through the night thereby making sleep difficult. CTS symptoms can also be expected to arise frequently while performing the activity that is the cause of the condition in the first place.

Does anyone know of any Prescription Meds that can be written to alleviate these symptoms?

 

[gearedup50]

That is what I thought you had... symptoms seemed like what I had, try some aspirin and try to keep repetitive movements to a minimum! Try to think of any rep. movements that you do in daily activities and what aggrevates it and try to avoid them for a while! What kind of GH are you using?

Well I cut it off totally as of this past Friday brother, but it was Serostim Domestic. I had been on it since February though.

 

[gearedup50]

Length and doseage seems to play a major role for it! It will go away as long as you stay away from the things that seem to aggrevate it the most! If I can help anymore email me I stay on GH year round!

I personally don`t have this problem.I have read alot of post on it and from what I`ve read it seems to be dose related.lower the dose you should be ok.

 

[Vlad67]

I was having the same problems. Mine was the worst at night. I had no problem with a keyboard but when I tried to write with a pen it looked like a 2nd grader's writing. I decreased my dosage to 2 i.u. a day down from 5 and the sides went away. and I really did not notice that much difference in effectiveness.
Also I used one of those squishy balls and was squeezing it all the time. It hurt like hell at first but started to make me loosen up after a day or two.

I think the only way to get rid of CTS is surgery. I had a bad case of it when I was 18 but waited 2 weeks before seeing a doctor thinking it would go away. I refused surgery at first but then I was told by the doctor it would not go away unless I had it done. Maybe he was just bullshiting me?

If you have no pain in your arm then it must be something else, give it a couple days and if the problem is still there I would definatly get checked up.

 

[Zyglamail]

when I suffered from numb hands/arms, it took about 4 weeks to totally go away.

 

[TooJacked]

I too had the numbness and tingling,sometimes pretty bad. It only lasted about 6 weeks then seeemed to disappear. I was at 4iu/daily. Are you taking all 5.5IU at once or spitting thorought the day ie. morning and after Training?

If you want to try something new, that I just heard about and have been usng with awesome results for the past two weeks, there is anther method of administration for GH, that seems to work better. This may go against all of the science behind it but here's what I've been doing ; Day1 2iu SQ/Abs, Day2 4IU IM (2iu Left shoulder, 2iu Right quad) Day 3 2iu SQ/abs, Day4 4iu IM (this time 2iu right shoulder, 2iu left quad) and keep repeating. A top level national competitor whom most of you know of recommended this method, so I figure that I'll pass on the info and see if anyone likes the results. As for me it feels as though the GH circulates better through my system and on the 4iu IM days my responds better than it ever did on 4iu subQ days. My Vascularity and Hardness are both really starting to improve each day.

Sounds interisting. What about insulin use with that method? And when do you take a time off?

I would go see a deep tissue massage therapist if I was you...

 

[Dr.M]

Yep, when the tendons in the carpel swell up from friction or etc (which causes inflamation) you get the numbness, and possible pain shooting up the arm, so your tendons grew apperantly or ?

Man..WTF is with all these GH sides lately. This shit is scaring me - I was planning on a cycle in the near future.

GH causes a swelling in the lining thats the nerves/tendons pass through making allready tight quarters more cramped and hence cause numbness and mobility problems.

Its a tad bit looser today fellas. Im going to go try hit some light supersets for Chest & see how that goes. As long as I can grip a Bar, I'll push through it. I might have to wear a mouthpiece though on account of biting down so hard because of the pain. I shattered my big toe a few years back, and when I finally got around to saying "it's now or never" to train Calves, I bit through my lower lip quite a few times. It's alot better knowing that this is in fact what is ailing me, and that it will subside with time. I wasn't sure what it was there for awhile and the uncertainty is even worse than the actual disability that comes with this. I'll post up later as to how training went if anyone is interested, & thanks for the responses.
