Bumped my trt dose from 50mg 2x week to 100mg 2x week and damn do my joints feel great. No more pain, stiffness, clicking, or popping from low estradiol. Killed my libido, made erections weak, and takes forever to bust a nut (if at all) now, but at least I'm feeling 100% otherwise! Great sex is great, but bodybuilding is my life soooo.....
 
$10 says you will be back in here in a few weeks mentioning trying to get your e2 under control again. For someone that struggles with maintaining a good TRT protocol, I don't get what the point of that increase is.

The point of the increase was to increase my estradiol since my joints were killing me. 100mg/week had my estradiol between 9-14, and it hurt to even walk. Tried 130mg/week and still in pain/cracking/popping. 200mg/week and no pain at all, just libido loss/sexual problems. Well worth not feeling like a 90 year old. When it's f---in time I just pop a cialis or viagra haha

With no libido, the viagra or cialis isn't going to help. You need the ability to be aroused. That's where your non existent libido comes in.

Gets me hard every time without even thinking about sex. First my nose gets stuffy, skin gets a little red, then bam, erection within 30 minutes.

Pretty much hit it on the nose right there lol. Don't forget the vascualrity that comes with it
 
I have to agree. Even if I wasn't in the mood, in 60 min it doesn't matter. I accidentally bump the counter and boom there it is.
 
Adding in dhea could have helped increase e2 vs increasing testosterone where you will probably end up chasing e2

How much DHEA were you taking

Started out 5mg per day, joints hurt after a week and tendons became really sore. Increased to 25mg, then 50mg over the course of a couple months, could barely lift weights without feeling like my tendons were going to rupture. I later found out tendon and joint pain is a common issue with dhea supplementation.
