Safe low dose without going to jail.

I'm 48 I feel like crap, all my joints fell rusted. I'm an iron worker, I'm in good shape but I don't live or even go to the gym. I climb and swing a 10 lbs hammer 12 hous a day 6 days a week.

My testosterone is low and my dr won't perscribe it (heart desese) ect.ect..I don't want to live forever..I want to enjoy my life untill I die. I'm not intrested in suplements..yes you may swear by them and be right but I don't know that and they are not regulated in any way. I'de sooner use vetranary drugs at least they were aproved for that..

What would be your recomdations if any.

Find a different Dr. Try stressing that want to deal with low test problem and understand longer term risks, but want to be on hrt

yep.. find a different doc for sure.. the issue is your heart.. what does he know that you have not shared with us..

What's your diet look like? Have you tried glucosamine for your joints?

Low test levels are very bad for your heart, and can make matters worse. Your doctor should know better. Find another one.

Goin thru bout same thing far as low test levels, it's amazing how these doctors will prescribe u whatever they have a cut in yet most could care less bout ur quality of life, hope u find a good one

regular docs, and even endos, do not specialize in test replacement and due to the legal nature of it likely want to play safe instead of sorry. That being said, find an HRT doc who is up on the gov regulations and in the business of helping people with low test.

your job is your #1 problem. your diet is #2.

12 hours a day pounding away your body? what do you expect my friend? need to cut your hours in half or find another career.

your diet needs more omega's and more nutrition but without fixing #1 i would be lying if i said you would ever feel better no matter what you took. test is not gonna help your problem.

^^^ I would have to concur with Steve here bro...12 hours a day beating up your body, it is getting tired. Understand being an iron worker all these years and trying to find another occupation is difficult...but what about going back to school to be an inspector in your field or something? Without taking care of yourself and your body it will only get worse. Exercise is key, but you will need to find some time and energy to incorporate it into your life. Your diet I'm sure needs some tweaking, and like Steve said more Omega Fatty Acids, maybe some Gluclosamine, MSM, Chrondroiton (sorry for spelling)...if your diet is bad, at least a good multi vitamin and a few other things can help...but it really depends on what and when you eat. Test will do nothing at this point IMO, but then again you will need bloodwork for us to better assess your condition.
