HGH Side Affects

[Protector1020]

I am 60 years old and have been lifting since I was 14. Over a 12 year military career and 18 year law enforcement career I have sustained many injuries which have led to 10 different orthopedic surgeries. In December I had a severe lumbar sacral back surgery after almost losing the use of my legs. Immediately after the surgery I was 100% better but had a lot of work to do to regain the strength in my legs which were severely atrophied. I started using GH in an effort to heal faster and regain my leg strength, however shortly thereafter my back and right leg got worse and I noticed an increase in joint paint in both knees, lumbar spine and right elbow and now my right leg is almost paralyzed. I know that joint pain can be a side effect of GH use and I started at 2.4 IU's approximately 3 weeks ago. As the surgery seemed to be successful and I have been careful in my exercise routine I am wondering if it was possibly too soon to start the GH? Could the GH be responsible for the joint pain and issues with my right leg? If so, do these symptoms subside? Any facts would be appreciated.

First of all welcome............and this is purely anticdotol, but I tend to 'feel' GH in my hands first, but it is usually after a month or two............then again everyones body is different...........Is this pharmaceutical grade GH and I have never heard of anyone taking 2.4IU's...........I have heard of 2 or 3 or 4 ( the .4IU is throwing me off).

I would ask you doctor. I think anyone who answers you will just be guessing at this point.

Thanks for the response, the vial quantity is 12 IU's, brand name Hypertropin which I had not seen before. What I had seen in the past and used back in the 80's for a short while were 10 IU vials straight from a doctor. I got this recent supply from a friend and bodybuilder at the gym and he says that it is what he uses. Another guy that I know well and competes in the NPC gave me a box of Paratropin, brand name for Somatropin that is supposedly 18 IU's per vial. So, things have changed in 30 years since Anadrol, Anavar, Winstrol and Dianabol were the weapons of choice. Back in the day I had no side effects from the GH, although I doubt that I used more than one or two IU's and it was 5 days on and 2 off. The 2.4 comes from reconstituting with two ML's and withdrawing 40 cc as opposed to splitting hairs and trying to get an even 2 IU's.

There are some new cool peptides out there that are supposed to be helpful when it come to recover; I have personally never used them.

You may want to look into MC igf-lr3.............it has some pretty cool research behind it. Look over in the peptide sections and see what you think. Here is a sticky that maybe the most useful for you. http://www.musclechemistry.com/uplo...ion-during-aging-experimental-study-rats.html
