TRT/HRT questions

[goin on 4T]

Deca is ridiculous for HRT... there are better, healthier ways to help your joints.

Such as?

I get deca as part of my HRT also so please help me out. What is a better choice for joints?

Deca for HRT/TRT?
isnt that like trying to kill a fly with a sledgehammer? i mean, a tad bit overkill? i can see androgel, or later, 100mg/test cyp/week for trt but deca?

Dude, I did not say deca for TRT. I said possibly along with.

Has the trend for docs allowing HRT with SQ injections continued or fizzled out? It was promoted a couple years ago as a new route to help patients with their self injects.

I'm curious.... what sort of doctor do you see for your HRT? Do you by any chance see one of those life extension clinics?

I have had joint issues for years.. I've tried alot of stuff and wasted tons of money... I have impinged shoulders, a bad c-spine, and a couple of bum knees... for me, the best thing was incorporating a good daily stretch program, seeing a good chiropractor for "maintenance"... as for supplements, I take on a long-term basis a high potency glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM product and cissus q. powder... are they miracle-workers? No, do they help? Sure. And you have to take them daily for months and months for them to have their moderate effects...point is, they're not harsh on your system like deca.

What do you mean by, "one of those clinics"?
They are legit.

I'm not questioning that clinic in particular... but from what I know of life extension / hrt clinics in general, they are more likely to prescribe non-standard meds such as deca, etc. whereas an endo or urologist experienced in hormone deficiency would likely not... I also do know that alot of these clinics online have gotten busted / shut-down for shady practices...

Well, yes there are a lot of things that can be prescribed and there are alot of reasons to need them. I quit taking the deca due to the fact that I changed my WO to the Omega wo and it is so less stressfull on the joints; also I am very glad I don't all the water that deca adds to the body!
Oh and my script is for 400mg of cyp and 400 of deca per week. Most people think they are shady until they realize they can legally obtain things that were doing illegally!
