  2. Training with Degenerative disc disease in Thoracic spine

    I recently had an X ray for my lungs and it was noted I had moderate degeneration of my discs in the mid thoracic region of my spine. Lots of information about lumbar spine discs and weight training...but not much I can find about thoracic. Anyone had any experience with this? I am 41, 6'2"...

  3. difficulty filling prescription

    Anyone else had issue with prices skyrocketing or generic not being sold? My local sam's club that I have used for years went from $22 a 10ml vial to 60, and now they no longer will carry generic. Only Depot-Testosterone at $22.50 per ml. it is ridiculous that test should cost that much...

  4. fertility on TRT experiences?

    I have been on TRT for about 3 years now, 100mg a week injected. I started after my daughter was born when my wife said no additional children... In the past 3 years I have also played around with trestolone, using it twice at low doses in the past year (25mg a day). My research prior to TRT...

  5. Looking for a Houston-based doctor

    I have been on TRT for nearly 2 years. I am satisfied with the results and my current health. I am not satisfied with the costs of seeing an endocrinologist twice a year, a 15 minute office visit is $185. I would like to find a PCP family physician who does TRT as well. I have recently...

    I just had my second follow up with my endocrinologist. I am in a "managed heath care system" so I do not expect a lot nor do I get much. Overall though I am not unhappy with my endo, as he is covering the basics and I feel well. I am prescribed 200mg every 2 weeks, though I inject 100mg...

  8. first set of labs after starting trt

    endo did a cbc, psa, free test and total test set of labs 12 weeks after starting 200mg/ml every 2 weeks. i am going to post the psa, test, and non immune system stuff from the labs. these were taken ten days after a shot. psa 0.5 0.0-4.0 ng/mL (most likely a waste of a test from what i have...

  9. urologist or endocrinologist for HRT?

    In a perfect world I would have the money to go see Matrix and his chosen doctors. This is not a perfect world and I am broke, and thus limited to in network insurance covered practitioners only. All praise HMO bull****. anyway on to the important stuff... ~20 yrs bilateral varicocele, grade...

  11. clomid restart

    I have read a lot of threads talking about the use of clomid, and lots of studies referenced. Found many more on my own searching the web. I know that clomid can increase LH and FSH and raise test levels....however none of the studies have nay kind of indication that blood tests for hormone...

    I have been dreading this forum off and on for several years, and more recently reading about TRT. I am 36 years old and have recently discovered that the "wormy" mass above my left testicle is varicocele. I have had it for over 20 years, dealing with the frequent pain and never realizing it...
