Arms/Hands going numb after starting HGH

[Jason12676]

I started the HGH injections about 6 weeks ago and have noticed in the last 3 weeks when I wake up in the morning my hands and now also my entire arms is numb. It's a similar feeling when your hands go to sleep.

It is now starting to continuing through out the day - When I spoke to my Dr he said that the HGH probably isn't doing this as normally CTS would be a side effect.

I am taking 1.8iu/day of Omnitrope and 1cc of Test Cyp/week.

Not sure if this is coincidence or not? Any thoughts?

Have you recently started taking a high dose of zinc w/o copper? This caused similar symptoms for me and a couple other people I know, due to copper deficiency affecting the nerve myelin.

Nope not taking anything other than the HGH and Test Cyp

Hey there,

I had nerve tingling in both hands and some carpal-tunnel in both wrists for the first 3-4 months I was on HGH.

I'm on my 6th cycle now, and am only dealing with some edema in my hands.

The nerve tingling went away, as did the carpal-tunnel.

The pain in my wrists extended to the outside of my thumbs, and was pretty severe for a few days early on - I thought I had dislocated my thumb at one point, it felt that similar and painful.


Are you taking HGH because of low HGH or as a supplement?

I'm taking mine due to a brain tumor which wiped out my pituitary gland's ability to make any HGH naturally.

I'm on Humatrope - I set the pen to "2" every day using a 12 mg cartridge. Don't know what that works out to in I.U...

?

Dave.

Hmm b6 deficiency or overdosing related maybe? vaguely possible for it to be either way with b6

I started the HGH as I was under the impression that my IGF-1 was low at 234

The joint pain is becoming a problem as well.

I have decided to discontinue use of the HGH but will continue with the test cyp.

This might as well have been written in Egyptian hieroglyphics - I have no idea what any of this means.
