bro, its also an anti-inflammatory, and if I'm not mistaken its included in alot of joint formulas. Glutamine would probably _not_ be the cause of your knee joint swelling.
I strongly suggest you read up on the glutamate science on bb.com I think you'll be glad you did.
BRO, I SEE THE ROAD YOUR LEADING ME TO AND THERE IS A LITTLE SOMETHING NONE OF THE SITE LIST AS A SIDE OF GLUTAMINE/ GLUCOSAMINE . IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD MAJOR SURGERY OR RECONSTRUCTION TO YOUR JOINT. WHAT MY ORTHO TOLD ME IS IT MAKES THE CELL WALLS RETAIN EXTRA FLUID RIGHT BUT ONCE YOUR JOINT MOVEMENT IS UNNATURAL OR YOUR GAIT IS ALTERED THE HEALING OF CARTILAGE THAT'S BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A TENDON GRAPH STARTS TO LOSE IT'S FLEXIBILITY DUE TOALL THE SCAR TISSUE AND HIGHER H2O CONTENT THUS LEAVING THE JOINT MORE BRITTLE AND PRONE TO MORE DISTRESS AND THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENT. SEE WHEN I WAS TALKING LIKE 500MG EVERY 2 DAYS MY JOINTS IN MY HIP AND KNEE WOULD SWELL AFTER PT TO A PAINFUL POINT THEY NEEDED DRAINING FROM TIME TO TIME. NOW THATS A "CANNON" THEY STICK IN THE JOINT SPACE IF YOU EVER HAD A JOINT DRAINED . AND WHAT CAME OUT PUSS , CLOTS,AND BLOOD LOTS OF BLOOD. SO AS I SAY BEEN THERE DONE THAT. IT ONLY WORKS WITH MINOR JOINT PROBLEMS THANKS FOR THE THOUGHT ............................................................FMT
I see - so basically it will have a negative effect where body structure has been altered - that sucks. you're a special case exception.
As to doing gear without enough muscle mass to go IM, obviously you can do orals and the various transdermal gels/patches for testosterone, BUT
a) the patches/gels are all low dose
b) most orals will be 17aa and liver toxic to some degree which with your other medications and history are probably contraindicated.
One possible avenue to persue is
Oral Primobolan Acetate.
1) GREAT anti-catabolic
2) NOT 17aa
3) not as bad on HPTA as most other gear
4) reputed to build mass on calorie restricted diet (including malabsorption syndromes I'd imagine)
4) the downside is cost. now that the China powders arent available, it'll run you alot of bux to do a reasonable dose.
