Stiffness in the spine or neck while on IGF?

I'm going on my 7th week on IGF, and the stuff is still working for me quite well, however, I am getting stiffness in my lower back and in my neck (and sometimes stiff joints in the morning or after standing for a long time) which I have never had before I ever started IGF. Has anyone else found that they get stiff joints/back/neck while on IGF? I'm wondering how to deal with this, any suggestions?

Maybe I'm having a hard time adjusting to being heavier?

Bone growth? It is a possibility

That's what I was thinking too--could be a possibility. Have you ever heard of anyone getting a little taller while on? When my family gets together, I'd swear I'm just a little bit taller than I used to be because now I'm looking slightly down on two brothers who should be about the same height as me. The same goes with a nephew down in Brazil. His family said I looked taller when I went down just recently (that was after my first IGF cycle). Btw, I'm 36 so you would think my growth plates have closed by now, although I did have a delayed puberty. I'll have to post some pics of what I look like now because my face has also squared up a bit as well--I used to have a really narrow face.

ive had pain at the insertion of my left trap into my spine from hgh, is it in the same place?

My stiffness/pain has been mostly in the lower back. Only a couple of days ago did I start getting some stiffness/slight pain in the neck. Oddly enough, it does seem to be at about that place where my traps insert into the spine.

How much are you running?

could be water retention. other than that i struggled to no end with the problem, i tried everything and nothing seemed to help. i thought maybe it was aggravating an old injury b/c it was just on the left side. oh well bro try a mild diuretic and up you water through the roof and see if that helps..letus know

The amounts of IGF I'm running vary throughout the week. I know this might look like a lot, but this is what I do:

Monday: 30 mcg in four places (120 mcg total), HRT shot of 400 mg test cyp
Tuesday: 30-40 mcg in two places (60-80 mcg total), M1T 20 mg
Wednesday: M1T 10 mg
Thursday: 30 mcg in four places (120 mcg total), M1T 20 mg
Friday: 30-40 mcg in two places (60-80 mcg total), M1T 10 mg
Saturday: None
Sunday: M1T 10-20 mg

If I was to spread out the shots, it would average out around 50-60 mcg per day. This regimen has been working extremely well for me as I'm now weighing 201-203 lbs--that's up from 188 six weeks ago (lost some weight during my trip to Brazil--normal weight has been 193). I have only experienced the stiffness just this last week. On the plus side, I look more vascular, and bf tested out to be 9.6% a couple of weeks ago. I have also been taking creatine every other day and 500 mcg of b12 every day which has been helping me eat like a horse. I've been getting fantastic gains for longer than the typical 4 week cycle of IGF, and they haven't stopped yet, I'm just experiencing some stiffness now. I'll try to increase my water intake and see if that helps.

My test shots are for hormone replacement so it isn't like I'm on a cycle--I have to be on all the time so it is like normal hormone levels for someone else. The extra food and M1T have probably been the things that are helping me gain weight, but the IGF keeps it LBM and helps gets rid of the fat.
