Carpal tunnel kicks in hard during time off hgh??

[Massive123]

Been running rips 4iu 5on 2 off for a couple months. Ive taken time off before for a couple days here and there for work travel or whatever, but nothing crazy. Consistent otherwise. Ive had carpal tunnel symptoms before when I first upped my dose a little too quickly but that was during my first run and got that under control long ago. It's never kicked in this painful with no other reason than bump in gh dose. Even then it didnt hurt this bad??

Im thinking it must be coincidental since it makes no sense otherwise to blame it on a few days off, but my carpal tunnel kicked in HARD yesterday and today can barely make a fist or lift a glass of water. If I touch my thumb to my pinkie it hurts pretty badly and I can feel the nerve being pinched inside.

Is this related to the time off? Purely coincidental? Worse yet, is this a sign of something else? Kinda worried since it kicked in outta no where and is only in one hand...??? Only other thing I can think of is that I had surgery on my other arm a few years back and that hand is weaker than the one Im feeling this pain in and perhaps over-compensating during lifts and other activity since might've taken a toll on this hand.


Anyone have any ideas??

IDK if whats happening to you is related to the GH. Im not a doctor. I can tell you that something simular happened to me:

I'm running the Rips at 5on 2off and when I go into the 4-5iu range I also get CTS on my days off. When i say i get CTS i mean i have a hard time bending my fingers at the joints a they hurt. I thought this was odd given the fact I had almost no sides (a little lathargic) going up to 5iu. With that said, the fact was when I started back on the 5 days on it would go away....completely.

I am not a GH expert. Maybe Zeek or one other the other HGH experts on this board can chime in on this. In the interum i can telll you what i know. From the questions I asked and what I did to address my CTS issues.

I had a very knowlagable member tell me that CTS is a side effect from the GH He told me that basically the rips are very strong (much stronger that alot of the other stuff floating around) and at the higher doses the CTS will flare up when you go off or drop the GH. I am over 40 and have read that the old you get the less you need so his statments seemed logical.

He recommended stepping down. I was running 5iu (2.5 2X) 5on 2off. So I've been dropping the dose (kind of like ramping up in reverse) and I'm back down to the 2iu range with no CTS symptoms on my days off.

Good luck brother....that shit hurts.

3J - only been off a few days, since Monday to be exact. What else do you think it could be?

Grind4it- thanks for the response. Rips is def potent stuff but not my first run with it. Ran almost all of last year with awesome results. Took a break last year as my eyes became very sensitive to light after almost a year on. That subsided but otherwise only had ct sides when it first kicked in then & as I bumped up to 4iu after a month or 2 @ 2-3 iu. Before I left I took one shot of 4iu before heading to the airport as I knew I wouldn't be able to split it up that day. Thinking that might've jump started something with it all seeing how they're normally split up. I'm not really old though, approaching 30, so I doubt it's an age thing. Who knows. CTS does run in my family though so I'm not sure what to make of it all

Going 2 iu's to 3 iu's gave me serious CTS. I am going to run 7 days a week and see if I can get used to it. This is ridiculous CTS, but the Rips are working great otherwise .

Rips are pretty amazing. I don't know if running Ed will help you out though. Time is more of what you need to have your system adjust. How long you been on?

This sounds retarded but I'm beginning to think I just fucked up my thumb somehow, the pain has shifted from ct like symptoms to just a nerve type pain in my thumb. I don't know wtf's goin on anymore. Getting older sucks

My thumb is also the most severe, so you are not retarded, there is something more to this. My thumb locks up and won't stay closed, no injury. You are welcome to PM me anytime Bro.
