This is my first post, i'll try not to get off topic. Answers are greatly appreciated; and sorry it may be a little long.
Bio
Age:27
Fitness: Consistent "gym rat" previous 9 years, never having done previous AAS. 5'9 hover around 180-185 lbs at im going to guess 11-12% bodyfat? flat stomach, clear abs if flexed.
Previously on Anti-Depressants for 4 years. (1.5 years off)
Backstory leading up to TrT: My doctor sent me for blood work to get an entire panel done for a previous issue, he tested for everything under the sun including my Testosterone, which game back at roughly 280 ng/dl this was done around 2 years ago. Which he was shocked to see it so low for my age at the time (25). I felt as if anti-depressants where making things worse not better, main symptom was a "brain fog" my libido at the time I thought was ok when he questioned me after my results. I'm married and have two kids.. and was having sex twice a week. After those results curious me started doing research (a lot from this site appeared in the results) and I eventually talked my doctor in to giving TrT a shot, he was hesitant solely because of my age & the stigma attached to it.
Fast forward 15 weeks now the first 14 weeks of my injections where split into bi-weekly injections (every 3.5 days) at 75 mg per injection for 150 mg/week of Pfizer testosterone cyp. I do the injections myself they are easy to do.. I rotate between the glutes, delts and quads.
Everything was going amazing, brain fog gone! irritability done! sex holy.. I can't describe what I was missing out on.. sometimes up to 4 times per day! If not min daily. My doctor was sending me for blood work every 2 weeks for the first 10 weeks. My levels where a consistent 779-810 ng/dl every blood panel, Estrogen was always 50-60 pmol/L.
And then boom, all of a sudden with no dosage changes I and 10 weeks of being stable I started to get a sore nipple, so I rushed to my doctor to have him self me for blood work. Sure enough my Testostone game back at 1150 ng/dl and my Estrogen was up to about 100 pmol/L. So we decided to lower to the dose of Testosterone to 50 mg Test cyp 2X week for 100 mg total (Still in the process of letting it adjust and get my blood work before I have a conclusion on that)
Concern: Around two weeks ago after everything was going so smoothly, right around the time my levels became out of whack... two things happened. 1) My daughter playing, kicked me in the back.. I don't remember her kick directly impacting my spine but I do remember significant pain upon impact. It went away.. no pain to speak of the following week so I thought nothing of it. 2) My levels started to rise.
So come this week almost over night I got a crippling pain in my it feels like its roughly the size of a dime.. and it seems to be radiating from the bone. But the muscles around it are very irritated. My doctor sent me for an X-ray came back showing nothing, I went to the chiropractor twice and massage therapist.. nothing seems to be helping. My doctor is clueless. On top of that he doesn't really know all that much about TrT, just that it was working extremely well for me the first 10 weeks or so.
Is there any chance it could be the Test Cyp causing this pain? or even perhaps the Anastrozole he gave (low amount) just to fight off the iniatal gyno while we waited for the test levels to drop from my new dosing.. that could be causing this?
Any answers appreciated.. Sorry for the novel.
