@systemlord that would be my primary idea as well. I don’t think his test levels are low enough to convince me he is primary.

What’s up man. I’m still here, just lurking though.
How’s your tendonitis?
It sux. I use tape to do my pull ups and such.
I experimented and injected t subq near my pain. It def speeds up the recovery time. Pain goes away much quicker. Within a day. Not sure why though? Is it the t or the carrier oil/benzyl.
BUT as soon as I use them again for strength training it hurts just as bad as b4 when pain went away.
Am thinking I will continue subq near elbow for a couple of weeks without training to see if I can make it heal that way.
If I am causing more harm to myself let me know @physioLojik but I like that its helping me. @anon10035199
Btw I only inject about 3-4 mg in each elbow. Sub q.
When OP sees what happened to his thread his head will spin.
Btw alpha you had success with that bar? I don’t really like it.

Thanks for all your responses so far despite the disagreements it has been a great help. I will get further tests done and report back. I’m broke as fuck at the moment but will get them done ASAP.

You should look into BPC 157. Although, who knows what your really getting with that stuff.
Anyway, yea I still use it, and STRETCH a lot. I still get some pain every now and then. both sides. Its manageable though. Give it another try and be persistent with it.
Edit: I noticed when my e2 tanked, It got WAY worse, and I got some in my fascia in my feet as well. Now that its stable, its much better.
Thanks man. Nice to hear from you. It takes way to much time trying to counter the unsound destructive advice/dx on here. I hope you become active again.

I kept reading things that made me question everything I thought I knew about TRT. So I decided that I shouldn’t be giving anyone advice, especially since I’m no expert.
I’m still around.

@drchandler When i was diagnosed low t you had exact same result as me Test 12.9 Nmol i was 31 when happened now 32. 12 NMOL for 1 year straight, and guess what i felt Absolutely S.H.I.T.E yes and low estrogen too with my 12Nmol, and when i had moments of Joint Pain it was pretty damn Brutal & i wouldn’t wish Low estrogen bone pains on any person. Anyway’s get on the Testosterone Cream or Injection whatever you feel comfortable with man & definitely get some HCG just in case you want to bring testicles back to plump & preserve sperm counts. All the best on your journey man.

bro no offence but this is borderline bullying, you can disagree with someones advice but don’t attack the shit out of it, mock the individual and then add emojis resembling faecal matter, Systemlord frequently gives solid advice, while I don’t agree with the doctor bashing, AI pushing and wnatnot in the end this is an individual who frequently does give solid advice and if he says things you don’t agree with, typically it’s related to the series of events that the individual has been through. Systemlord isn’t an asshole, nor is he isn’t intending to harm others, if anything he’s actually been very mature with regards to his responses, besides the point where he called you a moron, that was a potential unessecary escalation of the argument. To avoid arguements (I’m not an arguementative person), I tend to just let people think whatever they want to think as (in person) it avoids potentially violent situations from brewing, granted there are times when I’ll lose my shit if if I see an argumentative or aggressive person picking on a defenseless individual (Talking about real life scenarios here, not sure how the conversation came to this)
@physioLojik
How’s Denver and the new practice going? How’s the farmland (I recall earlier you said you’d be living on acreage or farmland), personally I love living on farmland, super relaxing, can always go for a walk, lots of privacy, when it’s warm one can lie on the ground and sleep (and wake up with a terrible sunburn)
Yeah going to get some more bloods and go from there.
Are you from the UK? If so what route did you go down because obviously 12 nmol/L isn’t low enough for the NHS to put you on.
Thanks

Got my latest bloods back. Looking much better. Taken same time as previous results early morning before eating. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
