I am 38 male. I have been regularly working out in last 8 years I am suffering from back , neck and knee mild osteoarthritis and both my shoulders are also injured.
I have autoimmune condition called Sjogren’s syndrome, it has been inactive since diagnosed and no symptoms, my osteoarthritis is not from my autoimmune condition because I did blood test for that. It is an injury.
I have low WBC count , it is within the normal range still but the lowest number and also I have hypothyroidism which I’m on tablet.
I am looking fit and healthy and I have been able to manage these conditions.
I am still working out very intensely like an Olympic athlete but my recovery is very low which I think I obtained these injuries because of not enough natural anabolic processing of my body. I am 6 foot and weigh around 99kg , my legs and glutes are much bigger than my arm but I have controlled it by doing a lot of cardio with my weight lifting to control it but it cost me too much pressure and injuries on my back and knee .
I feel my shoulders injuries are because of the same issue, basically the work I load on my body is much greater than my recovery speed.
And obviously the inflammatory nature of my body because of my health condition above makes it difficult to recover fast and avoid injuries, too much inflammation.
I have always been resisting to use any anabolic steroids because of not affecting my health but I really feel my body needs much greater recovery to keep being lean and fit because of maybe the ageing.
I’m pretty much fit tough at the moment but keep going with this intensity will cause more injuries and if I reduce intensity keep being fit is difficult.
I’m 90% in symmetry regarding my upper and lower body at moment.
The other thing is my upper body does not increase in size anymore regardless of how heavy I lift weights or how good my diet is because of obviously the limitations of the natural body testosterone and Growth hormone in everyone.
I have all the other symptoms that shows that my testosterone and GH level are not enough for the work load I put and also the symptoms such as insomnia, concentration , mood and skin issues plus erectile dysfunction.
My kidneys, liver functions are well except sometimes I have bad burning sensation after ejaculation around my prostate and urethra in last 5 years, sometimes it goes away for few weeks then get worse . Just to let you know I have done all the available test to check my prostate and all the tests showed normal prostate and bladder . The test were MRI , cystoscopy and all other blood test.
I recently realized I am mentally really strong with training and having healthy life style but there are some physiological factors that are not in my control.
So I decided to search about TRT and GH , because of the anabolic effects of these two hormones , as I read in some studies that these hormone have great effects for repairing body tissues and some cartilage especially GH effects on cartilage and also the anti inflammatory effects of the testosterone which is like cold water on fire for my whole body after years of being really thirsty for that.
I would like to try these together to see the effects on my back, neck osteoarthritis and my other injuries and I always been willing to put in more size on my upper body ( not much just maybe 1-2 bigger size).
I finally decided to give it a go and talked to my GP and I did my blood test and I attached it to this post.
everything is within the normal range but I think these levels are not enough for repairing my injuries and also increase size , I would like to go on TRT cycle and GH together to achieve the above goal .
my GP accepted to prescribe privately to go on TRT and GH and it is costly, I would like to do it but I don’t want to waste my money or hurt myself .
I have no experience or any knowledge about TRT and HGH together and I was discussing it with someone on Reddit who suggested to post here to get help from you guys.
I’m in Australia and as far as I know in Australia there is no Cypionate testosterone .
There is Primoteston 250mg Testosterone Enantate available .
I don’t want to go on long acting undecanoate because if I’m on short acting weekly TRT I can stop if an issue came up through TRT .
Now according to my blood results and my goal of repairing my injuries and also increase in size:
I was wondering is it ok to start TRT with HGH? Or I should first do one then see how I go with one and then try the other one ?
I was wondering is it ok to go on Primotesto Testosterone Enantate 250 mg a week or I should go up or down for dose ?
Will my legs and glutes become bigger if I go on TRT? If yes how can I control it?
I would really appreciate your experience on HGH too and your suggestions guys and @highpull
Thank you so much
