I've done a few cycles of testosterone in my past. Last time was probably about 3 years ago. (I was 47 years old at the time). During my last cycle I hurt my back while awkwardly grabbing a piece of gym equipment that was starting to fall over. Over the next week, this back pain became extremely bad and started to hurt when I was breathing so I went to ER. They did some tests and determined the pain was caused by a blood clot in my lung. I was put on some blood thinners and after about a week, the pain was finally going away and I was told the clot would just be absorbed by my body over time. I told the Dr. the pain in my back all started after I awkwardly grabbed a piece of falling equipment and if that could have caused the blood clot. He told me "No, that wouldn't have caused it".
I'm 50 now and am thinking I would like to try another cycle. I'm a little worried that maybe it was the gear that caused the clot and with my age creeping up that maybe it's not such a great idea. I'm in relatively decent shape. 5'11, 190 lbs, eat fairly clean and work out 3 times a week.
Any advise from the community would be appreciated. (Especially the older folks or anyone who may have had a clot in the past as well). Yay/Nay, go for it, stay away from it, etc.
Thanks for your time.
