In my case it was carrying several hundred heavy boxes of laminate from my truck to the basement, all day long. I felt the pain the next day and didn’t see a doctor until 8 months later because: “it’ll clear up on its own in due time” and my physical is then anyways…
I wrestled with using cortisone but agreed to trying it, ONCE. So far so good, incredible really.
Let’s assume the true tennis elbow problem is perma fixed and all I have left is this 50% of original pain on the other side of forearm in the muscle. Would that BPC 157 be good for non-tendon related, muscle tightness and inflammation?
Do a search in “Pharma”. It is ome kind of miracle thing apparently. I have not tried it, I have no current issues, so…

Update, i’m 6 weeks into 1 cc per week split into 2 shots. I’ve had zero tendinitis for 3 weeks. Every week it got better with the dosage change. My new numbers are below
Total T 992 (mid 500’s before)
Free T 314
Shbg 17
Psa 1.05
Estrogen 57 (previous 20)
So do i take an estrogen blocker??? Isn’t that number to high?
Well if you go by experience it’s just better to lower the dosage, your SHBG is low and you are in excess.
What do you mean by i am in excess?
Lower my T dose or the blocker dose?
What are true good SHBG #’s supposed to be?
Actually this is week 8, not 6 of the higher dose
Free T over the top of the ranges can produce excess E2, Free T abnormally high is probably beyond what you actually need anyway. If you have excess Free T creating more estrogen, lower your dosage and this should lower estrogen as well.
You’re injecting two far apart and probably moderate doses and this is why estrogen is high, your SHBG is low and you should be injecting ED or EOD.
Everyday dosing will lower estrogen significantly if you dose it correctly, EOD may cause estrogen to be a little higher versus daily.
What does this mean?
You really need to telling us how much testosterone you’re injecting, cc is volume, it is not a dosage. An example, .1ml from a 100mg vial, it’s 10mg, if I inject the same .1ml from a 200mg vial, it’s 20mg.
I take 100 mg on Monday night, then I take 125mg on Friday morning. The dosage difference is due to the two vials I have are different strengths. I didn’t think the 25mg would make that big of difference per injection. Plus my arms were hurting so bad I didn’t care what it took. So I plan to start on a 1cc 200mg per week split into two injections this week, I have my prescription corrected now.
I just was asking what a target # for SHBG should be.
Btw, I feel great. I have morning wood frequently and have no libido issues at all. I just don’t want my E2 to high if it’s a health risk, and I lift weight religiously, so if the higher to will increase my mass and strength I want to keep it up if it’s safe.
Are you having ongoing high e2 symptoms?
If not, your e2 is fine.
I feel like I retain some fluid maybe, gained about 7 pounds over the last 8 weeks. But I do work out pretty hard, and have gained strength and some upper body size. But no other issue, I thought e2 was supposed to stay below mid 40’s for health reasons???
You have little to no control over SHBG, you modify your TRT protocol to minimize a decrease. When I would inject moderate doses twice weekly, SHBG would be lower on average, very small daily dosing would see an 9 point increase, higher than I was pre-TRT.
The question is are you even using the correct E2 testing, the Roche ECLIA methodology has been known to overestimate E2 levels in some cases. Maybe try using the Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry method and see where you stand.
DONT TAKE THE AI, EVER, AGAIN.
If you want to FUCK your joints in your hands, and fingers and tendons in your arms, keep taking it. I only know from EXPERIENCE.
It got so bad, it affected all the joints in my hands, it was excruciating. I felt like an old man. it is finally much better, but I still have clicks and pops that I never had. Damaged for sure.
My elbows where the same way, unreal pain. Not going back there, just wanting to make sure my E2 is safe. My doctor is checking to see the method used.
There’s nothing unsafe about high e2 assuming you don’t have gyno. E2 is quite protective of the heart and joints. The beliefs around estradiol are changing quickly as of late. It is no longer the devil that it was once though to be.
High testosterone NEEDS high e2.
Once you start having symptoms, that’s another story. (nipple itching being the biggest red flag)

No symptoms at all, I feel better than ever. If my E2 isn’t a concern for long term health risk, I’ll never change a thing.

Yep, leave it alone. There are no long term health risks unless you count better cardiovascular health and stronger bones.
