poor blood circulation trt related?

[joedogg9999]

So I started trt back in september/october and ever since then my limbs have been falling asleep a lot faster than usual. I used to sleep with one arm under the pillow but now I can only sleep on my back with both arms straight because my arm will start to ache and fall asleep very quickly otherwise. Also just generally throughout the day I notice my arms and legs falling asleep a lot quicker than I ever remember.

Is this possibly trt related? Maybe its just in my head, im not sure.

This is a first for me, however I am still pretty new to TRT. The only thing I can think of is maybe this is a side of high E2, do you take an AI do you know what your E2 is?

I do not take an AI but thats because my e2 levels were a perfect 25 on my last labs with test levels of 1025. Those were pretty perfect numbers and there was no reason to add anything else into the protocol. Perhaps that has changed , idk, more bloodowrd would be needes to judge that.

Agreed that you should have your bloods checked again, I honestly have never heard of this issue before.

Were your labs peak or trough? What is you injection dose and frequency?

How does you hematocrit look? Are you donating blood every 56 days?

I dont remember my hematocrit number exactly but I remember it was right where it should be.

My bloods are always done on tuesday, while I inject on saturday. My injection frequency is 200mg once a week

If you split your 200mg a week dose into 2 separate injections, 100mg 2x week and pinn every 3.5 days (Sunday morning and again on Wednesday evening) you will lower E2 a little because your body will convert less Test to estrogen. You should get in the habit of donating blood every few months, the longer you are on TRT the higher your hematocrit will go, donating blood helps to keep your hematocrit at a healthy level.
