    The acupuncture guy told me he did the same exact thing when he was in a hurry, didn't warm up, and did a heavy bench press. All the photos I've seen of bench press injuries show damage around the pecs. I bruised up really bad on my rib cage, about 4 or 5 inches under my left armpit. The only...

    It's been four weeks, and my pain was still pretty bad. I went to see an acupuncture / massage / chiropractor today. The guy said my Lat, Rhomboid, Serratus, and Intercostals were inflamed. He thinks the damage was done during my chest press. It's legs and arms only for the next couple of...

    Injections vs Gel

    My doctor told me that he has the worst luck with patients that get their test from a compounding pharmacy. He has much better luck with Androgel and Testim. However, others tell me that compounding pharmacy test is great. Whatever direction you go, get your levels tested. That seems to be...

    I agree!!! I had a really good conversation with my doctor concerning hormone replacement therapy. The nice thing about the gels, is that they keep your test levels pretty constant. He's had good luck with Androgel and Testim for his patients. There was a 3rd type of gel that he mentioned...

    Injections vs Gel

    Sorry for jumping in so late in the game. Clomid just does a number on my eyes. After a couple of weeks, I can't focus on much of anything, even with my glasses. It just isn't a viable option for me, as far as boosting test levels. I had read that some company had some sort of clomid...

    I tore a muscle in my back a couple of weeks ago. I've been in a lot of pain. The bruises are just starting to fade. I finally went to the gym this morning, and did a light workout before visiting my doctor. With no insurance, I could not afford Testim anymore, so I needed a lower cost...

    I'm looking for options here. Can anybody out there tell me the least expensive way to boost my test levels? Testim is more than $350 without insurance. I can't do that! Many thanks in advance, -TT

    The nurse called, and said that the doctor didn't need to see me, yet didn't address my issues. At this point, it's a moot point, because I can't afford HRT without insurance. I went to refill my $35 script for Testim, and the price jumped by a factor of 10! I can't afford that!!! About a week...

    I'm taking it easy this week. I did all cardio this morning, on the bike. Much less sweat! The sweat was just pouring off of me a couple of days ago. Now I seem back to normal. I'm really anxious to see where my test levels are, and if the Testim is doing the trick, or if I need to try...

    Starting Over

    On Friday, I did a light workout with mostly cardio. I could tell I hadn't been to the gym in a while. The sweat was just pouring off of me. Hopefully, I was sweating out all the hydrocodone that built up in my body. By the way, hydrocodone is the best weigt loss drug I've ever seen. I had...

    Today, I just saw the nurse. She removed my catheter. I'm sure glad that's out! I really thought I'd get to talk to the doctor today, but I guess I'll have to wait. I'm just really anxious to know if my Testim gel is working, or if I need something different. It's back to the gym tomorrow. -TT

    The doctor didn't talk to me much after the surgery. I will see him again on Thursday, and hope to learn more. At the end of this, if my urinary tract is back to normal, and my test levels are back to normal, I'll be very very happy. In fact, when they take this darn catheter out of me, I...

    My doctor says the surgery went well. He'll take the catheter tube out in a week. I'll be really glad to get rid of it. I was surprised that he prescribed Cipro. 'better safe than sorry. I need to do some more reading on it. I have to steer clear of calcium and multivitamins while I'm on it...

    Thanks Dutchman! I need all the luck I can get. I'll be leaving for the hospital in about 2 hours. I'll probably know in a few days when I can return to the gym. It might be a week, or maybe a little longer. Thanks again, -TT
