GH and Joint Pain

[supergirl]

hey grainger... ok.. here is my gh opinion

i fucking love the stuff!!!!!!!!! i take 2 ius everyday.. no days off.. my joints feel like butter.. i had a knee injury and i can now lunge again.. my rotators used to cause me mad pain during lat pulldowns and shoulder presses.. well.. my press is up to a 50lb db in each hand with NO pain!!!
so.. GH for me has been extremely theraputic, not to mention that it is (combined with anavar) ripping me up.. i have gone from 19% bf to currently 14% and am still dropping..

every morning i wake with slight swelling in my hands, i am holding water (sub q water) and i get tingles in my arms on occasion and they sometimes fall asleep.. BUT otherwise.. i am sooo happy with GH!!! It is doing exactly what i expected it to..

all i can say is that you might be experiencing the "adjusting" period.. the first couple of weeks i got on gh, my joints felt stiff.. not pain.. just stiff... i was taking super hot showers... also, as a female.. i noticed that my period cramps were as bad as they were when i was first in puberty.. usually i have cramps, but not like i did the first month on GH... I was in soooo much pain.. BUT once i became "adjusted" to the gh after about a month, my body and joints have never felt better. My recovery is incredible and i sleep like a baby!

so my advice.. hang in there.. allow GH the adequate time it needs to prove itself and also i would get an AS in there soon..

good luck with it all
luv super

Thanks a lot gang. I was getting kinda bummed because I want this to work out for me.

To be honest, I have already seen great results from it and I am taking it alone and it has only been 4 -5 weeks! Everyone says that your not going to see anything but that is crap....sure its not like being on a cycle...but the quality is WAY better. I can't wait to try it with other gear!

I am going to keep trying it....you might be right....it could take some time to get use to it. As far as water retention goes....my body wieght went up 8 pounds one night. I was so freaked out that I called the ER to ask what I could take to release the water...it was CRAZY! (I may have had some sort of salt imbalance and the GH just through it more out of wack) but I couldn't even make a fist!

After that night it never happend again...My shoulder is better and my BF is dropping fast!

Thanks for taking the time to help me out....I appreciate it!

its my first time on growth, been 2 wks today (6iu, 5on 2off) along w/ gram of test, 100mg drol, and will be starting 600-1000mg QV deca(in a wk when i get it).....
...i feel the growth...hands are stiff.....no problem lifting..but ache all the time...like mentioned above when holding something & some times my muscles feel like theyre going to tear or rip while relaxing....its not bothersome just a new feeling
...i have been sleeping like a rock--which is biggest suprise...
and im not really holding water..

What is it about GH that cuase joint pain? i.e. what about it's activity in the body causes ones joint to hurt?
I can train in the gym like it's nobody's business but when it comes to picking up a gallon of milk, I feel like my arm is going to rip off (my elbows are SOO bad)

In my opinion GH causes water extraction in the joints. If that is true then that would be a good explication. Also if true, Deca would indeed be the answer.

your Gh pain

is probably cause from the fact that you did not titrate your dosage up slowly, GH unlike AAS should be titrated up, start with a low dose and then increase it, this is what you should have done since it was the first time on GH, you probably started taking too much or titrated up the dosage too fast, and it was just too much of a shock to your body, kind of like front loading too much and getting the roid flu. But if you read on and of the manufacturers websites they wil all say to titrate the dosage slowly increasing it.

I find this hard to believe Tury

not saying it is impossible, but i am on GH since beginning december, always small doses (it's expensive) and still i have joint pain in arms and legs. Doing 2 iu a day can hardly be considered much.

So for me until proven otherwise it is waterloss in the joints. Maybe one will not feel pain at all if only taken GH WITHOUT training?

WOW

You are taking a very low maintenance dose, I do not know what could be causing that, maybe your body just reacts that way, but when I was getting joint pains, in elbows and knees mostly, I was taking 4iu's/day and I was on it for close to 6 months. although I did titrate it up and then back down.

Vets? Is this true?

I'm encoutering the same problems and also some pain in muscles of my quads also.
That makes it difficult for me to train legs.....

Now for one and a half week on deca 400 mg and started also taking some Ca/Mg tabs to compensate...

Man, I don't know......I never feel anything but great with GH. hGH thickens and strengthens connective tissue in most people. In the various studies, fewer than 1 in 20 experienced such problems.
I don't titrate, either, and in the same study I mentioned, subjects started on 12iu a day.
Jeff, you old fart.......your joints hurt cause you are older than dirt. Lets see........MOD got hit by a truck.....
Any of you boys using arimidex? Pain or antibiotic meds?
Never, ever have I seen any reference to muscle pain from GH.
2iu is more than a maintenance dose........we only make .5 to 1.5iu a day naturally, which is still produced will using somatropin if we inject at the right times.
