Swallen Ankle

[GLASSVOICE]

I am alittle worried because may left ankle is getting quite swallen for the past 2 or 3 days. I atribute this to the steroids (Deca/Test). I guess it might be watter retention but I am not sure. The right ankle is not as bad.

Can someone tell me that this is normal please! Should I take a diuretic? What should I do?????

Sounds like water. Can you get Arimidex?

 

[GLASSVOICE]

Is there anything else that I can use. Armidex is quite expensive!!!! Substitutes please! It kind of hurts a little bit, constantly.

It sounds like edema to me. You should watch your diet. Avoid eating alot of salt.

Get you BP checked what is your resting HR? Try to get your hand on some lasix and cut down on sodium intake. To answer your second question no it is not normal. Flood yourself with water, this tends to help you retain less fluid not more. You may need to go to a Doctor if this persists it may indicate that your heart is over stressed and beginning to fail.

Not a flame on Lifesiron, I agree with the sodium intake but lasix is pretty harsh. You tend to rebound bad on it andyou would be right back were you are now. Maybe some dyazide or maxide. teraxatone is pretty good as far as over the counter stuff goes.

I disagree Quadsweep he needs to get rid of the excess water fast, so as to not over tax his circulatory system. Dyazide is an excellent choice if a diuertic is needed for long term use as it is K sparing. I've never known anyone to get results with Taraxatone. Like I said in my first post if this continues for another day or so he needs to see a Doctor. Also I've often used lasix for immediate water loss without rebound, although we all don't react the same to any given drug. Peace bro.

Good point

That is a good point Lifesiron. Perhaps if he used Lasix first then switched over to Dyazide after the water came off. I always get water logged REAL bad after a contest. I control myself better now but I once gained 35# in five days after the 1997 Jr. Nat'ls. I could not even lay flat on the floor because it felt like my head was gonna blow up. Weird thing was my BP really did not go up. My kidneys hurt like a bitch. Burned like fire. I was strong as a bull from all the H2O retention. 525# bench!(Never will do that again!) If this is the case for Glassvoice, Lasix may be a good choice. By the way, What gear are you on at this time???

Quadsweep, I'm doing test, primo and proviron. I'm all done with monster cycles for good. I use 40mg of lasix a day to keep excess water down, with medical supervison and frequent blood work. I had some medical problems not related to steroid use. I would like to do two shows next april if possible. Things are looking real good so far. What will be a challenge is for the first time ever I will attempt to be ripped without any clen, t3 or eca, I've never used DNP. It will be interesting.
