I have been on GH for almost 4 mnths now at 3ius (now 2ius, winding down) per day 5 on 2 off. At first I had a lot of joint soreness. Now overall joints are ok but the lowest part of my achellies tendons are really sore (killing my boxing performance), carpel tunnel, and for the first time I am having what seems like rotator cuff problems in my right shoulder. Can this all be from the GH? and if so will it go away when I stop the GH?

what else are you on? training? its very hard to know with n=1

Right now I am on a **** load of stuff for PCT so there is really no way to separate this out right now, but I guess what I am wondering is, I have heard of people on GH haveing joint soreness and I am wondering if that is attributable to negative effects on tendons and ligaments?

its most likely that PCT stuff will mess up your joints(due to lowering your estrogen), or you screwed them up when on cycle (usualy tendons get screwed by AAS).

This sounds right to me. GH is usually good for joints except feet hands and wrists. Hopefully you warm up your rotator cuffs and take breaks from flat bench periodically, hint.

****... I was considering going on IGF or HGH to fix my bad rotator cuff.

I will tell you that I at 40 yrs old have nightmarishly ****ed up rotator cuffs in both shoulders and that a combination of fish oil (natural anti-inflammtory--talk to Swale about it), Glucosamine and 5ius of GH every day have dramatically improved by shoulders. I used to wince in pain after my first set of flat bench even on 1000 mg of Ibuprofen, and now, I'm Ibuprofen free and while the first set is not completely pain free, it's really no big deal. And the biggest difference came after getting on the GH for 60 days. As a result, I'm sold on the restorative values of GH for rotator cuff injuries. I also limit my chest workouts to once a week--which does slow my progress, but it also prevents further should injuries.

That's very good to hear... My right rotator cuff is seriously ****ed up, but I don't want to have surgery. I was thinking of going on GH sometime after the first of the year for a body recomp in addition to the rotator cuff repair. Thanks for the info.
