Whenever someone starts TRT and is injections are space out too far apart, one can expect to feel less relief with each injection and is called the dead zone which only gets wider with time and relief fades. You clinic doctor is unaware and is just doing what he thinks is correct, but he is sadly mistaken.
Any doctor still using 18 gauge syringes and insists on glute injections or doesn’t believe breaking the shots up won’t do anything is a full blown idiot. This doctor has zero knowledge in balancing hormones and it seems your having to go behind his back to do research on your own because you feel something is off.
He has done nothing to address your ever decreasing relief and insists injecting smaller doses more frequently will do nothing special. The benefits will continue to fade as time goes on, you need to make a move and get out from under the care of this unskilled hormones specialists.
So many guys have come in here claiming their doctor specializes in TRT and finds out this is far from the truth, just because someone specializes in something doesn’t mean there are good at it.
There are some really intelligent doctors out there who hold high positions in hospitals and universities who specializes in TRT and doing a terrible job at it, hormones management isn’t easy and requires trial and error, it takes years of clinical experience to become a true specialists and even then some fall short.
Lots of men here swear by the effectiveness of using insulin syringes for TRT, it works and is used by doctors who are on TRT. There is a pharma company who has a patent on an auto-injector for injecting testosterone into the subcutaneous fat in the stomach.
Your so called specialists just is a little backwards and hasn’t been keeping up with current events, his learning process ended long ago far too soon. He now believes he knows enough to be a specialists, he’s sorely mistaken.
