Joint Pain question .......

[Jake111]

All of a sudden, my joints are pretty achy.
Could this be an effect of estrogen being too low or to high?

thanks for answers

Yes

Definately estrogen related but only bloodwork will tell if estro is high or low...I used to take aromasin at 25mg per day and my joints were screaming pain(obviously low e2 based on circumstance)

I'll have to get some blood work done but I'm suspecting it's low E since I've been taking aromasin every other day. I've been using a new vendor who's product must be more potent than than my last one.
backing off the aromasin should help if Low E is the culprit, right?

Usually if your joints are hurting your E2 is too low, this can be confirmed if your also getting headaches and have super low water retention. Sometimes you will even see a reduction in strength.

Yep, lower your dose my friend.

Typically I can tell me e2 is low due to anxiety/numbed mood, then comes the joint pain. I noticed that when my e2 is low, I don't look dry like others would suggest due to lowered water retention, rather I seem to have a real flat looking tone to my muscles as if I won't hold glycogen well regardless of my diet (which keeps my looking full normally), this also comes with lowered strength/power and a reduced pump. AFAIK the reason for this I believe is estrogen is important in either glycogen uptake or synthesis or insulin sensitivity in muscle (something like that anyway).

Also, how much exemstane are you taking and what is your current TRT protocol? I assume it is liquid stane not tabs?
