I'm 28, 5' 10" , 230 lb( before i started feeling low t symptoms i was around 200)
Bodyhair mainly on chest , no so much on the arms or legs, facial hair is there not full but not patchy either. Fat used to be well distributed but now is mainly on abdominal area.
-testes ache, ever, with a fever? Used to hurt and with a fever but that went away after the hernia surgery.
-how have morning wood and nocturnal erections changed? Morning wood is not there all the time , maybe once a week. Nocturnal if stimulated yes.
So i started feeling tired and sleepy all day long , hard to gain muscle and lose fat, no desire to do the things i used to love, like soccer, lifting, karate, surfing etc
This all started couple years ago and was gradually getting worse.
So last year had a acl meniscus repair 9 months later removed an inguinal hernia, after that everything got worst.
Looked it up and found about trt and decided to get checked, for my luck my primary care doctor is also an endocrinologist, so he did all the blood work.

After that he put me on Androderm patches ,4mg 1 a day, and scheduled an MRI which came all normal and an follow up appointment for 3 months from now.
After 20 days on Androderm I switched to injection, 100 mg test cyp weekly, because the patches where leaving a big red mark on the spot they were on, and sometimes they fall cuz i do construction work and move a lot during the day.
Did blood test today, when i got home did first injection, painful, 22g 1 1/2 "needle, gonna have another bloodtest in 4 weeks , maybe switch to 25g 1" needles next week.
How long before feel improvements regarding energy and muscle growth?
Thanks in advance for any help and any more info please ask, i have access to all blood work.
