joint pain???

[Good.2.Go]

1. Are you on cholesterol medicine? Statin is notorious for causing joint pain.
2. Have you changed your work out routine lately & performing certain exercises incorrectly ie... I know many that stopped locking their elbows on benching & pain was resolved after a duration.
3. If you increased your prescribed amount & now are capable of lifting heavier your joints, cartilage & etc needs to catch up.

Just thinking outside the box.

Honestly E that high is not really a problem, a lot of practitioners are now saying that unless it way out of range there is no reason to treat it.

Sometimes Nandrolone helps but sometimes it doesn't.

I would have to agree bro, try Nandrolone...very possible it'll do the trick. Worth a shot.

Been there

Recently most of my joints are starting to hurt. I know e2 could be the issue although i dont feel bad and havent taken an a-zol pill for a week now to see if that could be it......

anyways im calling to doc to get a blood test to get all my levels checked, anything else i should check for beside a full hormone with e2 panel?? It just seems weird one day i woke up and my shoulders hurt, elbows were sore and i pulled something in my neck when doing shrugs... my knees feel ok ( knock on wood) for now but this shoulder elbow neck crap has to go away... I just threw a frisbee to the dog and i can feel it in my elbow.. this isnt making sense to me......

Aside from pain with your e2 being low how else do you know if it crashed?? I used to sweat at night but havent done that for a couple weeks now.... I also sleep with the a\c on at 68 and no covers so maybe thats why im not sweating now........

any ideas on this??

I went to the popular "mens clinic" in honolulu after hearing their radio ads. My testosterone was 380 at the time and they were quick to sign me up with all "benefits" I'd receive. I bought in. The first month and a half was great; my second injection of testosterone, mixed with grape seed oil (so it absorbs slower into the muscle) I noticed greater mental clarity. My stamina improved as well in workouts and recovery time was quicker. At the month and a half mark, I started having transient (random/traveling) joint pain in my wrists and shoulders. Polyarthritic symptoms; osteo and rheumatoid. I would literally wake in the middle of the night screaming in pain, wrist, shoulder or fingers inflamed. The doctor denied any knowledge of a relationship with the testosterone (side effects). After a couple visits to different doctors, one finally, hooked me up with an endocrinologist. She told me 3% of men have these symptoms. She said, "It is the medicine (testosterone replacement therapy) that is causing it. If you continue to use it, you will continue with these effects, your testicles will shrink and atrophy-to the point if you stop the therapy they won't grow back. Your penis will shrink also, and your liver will ultimately pay the price." I've been off the therapy for about 2 months and the pain has shifted to my knees, ankles and the lateral aspects of my feet. The pain isn't as sever and it is diminishing with time. I saw the endocrinologist the other day and she said I still have the residual effects and it should be gone within the next 3 months. Oh yeah, my PSA went from 3.6 to 4.6 during the therapy, but the doctor at the mens clinic said "PSA really isn't a good marker," so with his encouragement, I stayed with the program. I had ED during this little adventure too. I read an article which said if your testosterone is below 300 you might consider it. My advice-investigate the pro's and con's. The boys at the clinic said everything positive to keep my $$$$, and even when I told them what the endocrinologist said, they still tried to keep me on the testosterone. Get info from the endocrinologist and other folks who aren't in it for the buck.

Wow! You're endo seriously misinformed you on many of (not all though) the effects you listed. It is a shame there are such ignorant doctors out there.
