Hi Guys and Gals,
Virgin poster but long time reader. First of all, thanks to those of you who tirelessly contribute to the forum, helping educate those like me that are new or relatively new to the game. Your efforts are appreciated.
On to my problem, or question, depending on how you view it. After a very long period of research, and with the help of both this forum and some close friends that are very experiences with AAS, I embarked on my second cycle a while ago. My first cycle was disrupted with an unrelated medical issue.
This cycle is what most would consider very mild, and I have deliberately designed it as such. I began by running 200mg Primo weekly, then after 4 weeks, introduced HGH (nordi pens) with 4iu's per day, broken down into 2 iu's early in the morning, then 2 iu's mid afternoon. All was going well, with the results exceeding my conservative goals. After about 2 into the HGH cycle, I started developing headaches, not very bad, but annoying and persistent. I did not immediately assume it was the GH, so persisted with the program. Then about a week later (3 weeks into the GH cycle) i started getting pains in my joints, starting with the hands and fingers, then neck, then elbows, then shoulders then knees. It is difficult to describe, but the best way I can realte to you is to say it feels arthritic. When I wake up in the morning, it is impossible for me to make a fist, as the pain in my fingers won't allow be to fully close them. After 10 - 15 mins, it appears to "warm up" and I can then fully close them. I tried to push through this phase, thinking that my body may just require a period of adaptation. However after a further 1-1.5 weeks, the problems seemed to be getting worse. I then decided to stop the cycle all together, and see how the body would react. Well the headaches did dissapear after 2 days, and the pain in the joints did ease, but as of today, 1.5 weeks after stopping the cycle, the joint pain still is a problem.
I do want to continue the cycle as planned, but am concerned about permanent damage. Can anyone suggest what the pain may be? Is it common? If I continue the cycle, am I risking permanent damage? Can I do anything to alleviate the problem, or should I just stop all together?
Just as a background, i am 37yo, 188cm, 90kg. I am not interested in the more potent AAS for various reasons, and am fairly certain that the gear is legit.
Any help or advice you can supply would be greatly appreciated.
