my gh cycle and a serious wrist problem

[cowgirl]

I have been getting great results with gh for the last 4 months at 2 iu's a day. The sides got real bad by the 12th week and I cut back to 1iu and then slowly buit it up again. My sides were the extreme fatigue and numbness in both arms from the delt all the way to my fingers & wrist pain.

Yesterday I noticed a lump on the wrist the size of a b-b that sticks up pretty noticable.

Last night I got out of bed and I pushed off with my left hand & I feel like I broke something or damaged ligament or tendon. I can't use that hand at all today because the wrist pain is so bad.

any ideas on what in the heck is going on? I'm not having any other sides from the gh now that I cut back.

sounds to me like carpel tunnel syndrome. cut back or go off GH and should get better. may i ask the brand of GH your using?

[cowgirl]

It's not carpel tunnel syndrome. There is a big boney whelt on the side of my wrist about where the thumgb attaches. Not tingling as with CTS.

Jino is the brand

I think what you may have is a ganglionic (sp) cyst, they are usually painless at first but if it becomes large enough it can start to hurt I had something similiar on the inside of my wrist. I know this sounds dumb but you can just smash it with a book or something and the fluid will dissipate, or you can be smart about it and go see the doc and he will drain it and do it the right way. Either way its not that big of a deal but dont let it get too big because then you may have to have surgery

[Stonecold54]

that is ironic because about a week ago I was reading an old thread on someone who used GH and they had some kind of welt or ball on their wrist that went away with GH usage.

Go to the doc. Nothing is going to make you feel better until you go see a doc and see whats going on. Keep us updated.

[cowgirl]

I never go to the Doc unless I am bleeding profusely or have a broken bone.

The book sounds like a good ideas

I agree that it sounds like a ganglion cyst. I would also bet the gh is making it worse.

[BBAddict]

I had one of those cysts on my wrist. It sounds odd but I found the best way to pop mine is using unpadded wrist wraps during deadlifts. Mine was right where the wrist wraps go on my wrist. These particular wraps leave burns on my wrist, but they also get rid of the damn cyst! So, if it is a cyst, you can pop it and it goes away-it might come back but you can pop it again. All a doc is gonna do is pop it anyway.

[THE BOUNCER]

Still think you should go get it checked out.

Actually, you don't want to "smash" a ganglionic cyst. Maybe if we were back in the 1800's, but not now with todays outpatient surgeries The ganglionic cyst could get worse or dissappear on it's own, but why wait? My fiancee had one right before we met, and it had to be surgically removed. IMO you should see a doctor before you go beating yourself with a book

Just think about it this way, there is a reason the cyst is forming. It may or may not be a long term problem. Sure most of the time there are harmless. But it's best to have a doctor rule out arthrites problems and a worse case scenario, a bone tumor.

[cowgirl]

This gh really aggrivates my wrists. I've had various issues with them ever since I went on.

[THE BOUNCER]

So are you going to go off the GH or are you going to just keep suffering threw it?

Definately worth considering.

[cowgirl]

I had to go off about a month ago when the sides got too bad. (Numbness & extreme fatigue) Then I cut down from 2iu to 1iu and I do it in 3 doses of .33iu every 8 hours. Other than this cyst, I am not having any other problems right now.

The sides suck, but the results are great so I'll keep suffering through it

[phatchopper]

just smash it, stop being a girl!!!! J/k its really not a big deal to pop it doesnt hurt but you know the smart thing is to go to the doc so just do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

Bro I had the same pains in both my wrists when I was on Jin last winter. For me thought the numbness in the hands and fingers were much worse though. I started off taking 4ius a day and by the 4 th week I had to go down to 2 ius because I was waking up in the middle of the night feeling like my fingers had frostbite. I think my problems were all dose related and they went away after my cycle was over.

Save the money from the gh and get yourself some health insurance--- It amazes me what people are willing to do to there bodies. Whens the last time you had blood work--this is serious stuff we are putting into our bodies-its not a game!!!
