Legs and ankles swelling

jswole

I wanna talk to Samson...
Can test cause you to retain water in your legs and ankles? Or swelling in general to the point where you can leave an indentation with your finger or sock line?
 
Yeah its called high estrogen. What week are you in on your cycle? Do you have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) like aromasin or adex? How's your water intake?
 
That is a loaded question. Week 30 of my 400mg/week trt. Week 6 of my self diagnosed 800mg/week. I have arimidex. Half gallon a day of water. Couple redbulls too.
 
Not diabetes, I was just checked 2 months ago. Unless it can occur really rapid. Forgot to mention the swelling happened a few days ago after an epsom salt soak. Thought possibly that could be the cause. But legs and ankles only?
 
This is just my personal opinion, I think you should get bloodwork done to see where your estro is. Im guessing it's high. I would start on adex right now at .5 ed and up your water intake to a gallon a day. Although like matt stated, it could be a medical condition that you need to get looked at.
 
Yes test can cause this. Matt and colt offered good advise. If you aren't on an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) I'm assuming your estro is getting high. Some people tend to really hold water on test easily.

I would get a blood draw to see. How is your bp?

Also you should first make sure to limit your salt intake and increase water. Both will make you retain. If not taking in enough water, your body will hold onto every bit it gets basically trying to conserve in case it doesn't get more and salt will make you retain as well but this varies from person to person.
 
My ankles got swollen for about 3 days, I was taking Jack3d tho in place of my creatine that I ran out of... I quit taking the Jack3d and took my aromasin 25mg ed and it went away... watch sodium intake also. Drinking enough water should be a given.
 
Checking back in. Levels were fine. Upped water to over a gallon a day and now im 100%. Thanks for the info OLOGY!
