Hi all,
Hope you're doing well, and firstly thank you for the time on my question - it's been worrying me a lot so I would appreciate anybody's time on this.
I am 30, in good shape (but always struggling with 'skinny fat' stomach), I've never taken steroids before but I decided to start HgH.
I bought some Genotropin and Elixir, started on 1.8iu per day (Genotropin( the first 3 days however I was noticing side effects of arthritis style throbbing pains in my leg and knees, and tingling in my legs and them feeling 'heavy' along with strong muscle pain in my left lower back (I was injecting on the left side of my stomach). Almost the feeling of a 'bubble' in my lower left back.
I reduced the dose to 0.9iu and the pain in my lower left back went, however the joint pain persisted (it also started hurting in my jaw where I have screws from a prior surgery) and today I tried the Elixir on 1.0iu and the pain has persisted, my stomach also got very bad to the point I couldn't really go out the house in fear of not having a toilet around.
A few points:
- I'm taking it in the morning before I eat/ work out, I work out and then eat around noon
- I injected this morning on the right side of my stomach and within a second I felt the pain in my right knee
- I've been taking 2-4 glucosamine per day which actually seems to help the bone pain a lot (I've also been taking Omega 3 and Magnesium, but double the normal dose I take)
I'm thinking about taking a few days off now (I've done 5 days of injections so far), let me body rest and then start again maybe on 0.6iu and work up from there.
I'm worried about the side effects of permanent acromegaly, or other damage that I could be doing. Is it possible to ask for any advice etc.? The pain is very prominent and can either kick in straight after the injection or a few hours later after I've finished my workout.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
