Swollen Pelvic Area/Feel Lymph Nodes
ad
Anyone ever see any of these side effects?
I notice my lower stomach (below belly button is swollen) and I can feel lymph nodes on each side of my lower stomach. I think they're lymph nodes anyways.
I went to the DR and got an xray... It was a walk in clinic and the guy was a complete dumbass. He said I was backed up but did not feel my stomach or even look at it.

Bro, I gave all the responses below a quick read. Look, if the doc took a plain 100 year old style x-ray and u r constipated, take an opening dose and void all that feces. A couple of bottles of magnesium citrate before bed should do it. You also could do what I do before I resort to a physic and that is just to self administer a couple of enemas. Hold it in as long as possible then head for the commode. If you only void a little, wait about 10 min then go for another two enemas and try again. A lot of us in bodybuilding have piss ass poor fiber in our diets and since I started taking a fiber supplement I don't have the problems I once did. What you wrote is a description of your intestines bulging with feces. Don't think the lymph issues are really part of the picture quite frankly. Sorry for being so graphic and disgusting but you got to get that shit out if that's what it is and it sounds like that's what it is.
Take a peak at your diet and be honest about how much fiber you're getting. Also, I drink about 2 gal of water a day and that certainly keeps things moving but I used to cut water for a show and I don't anymore. What the general public thinks is "GH gut" ain't no GH gut. They guys are fucking constipated to the point you can see it on stage with those that have cut too much water.
lol are you serious? so all these 'paluboism" guys are just constipated? ronnie coleman used to wear a severely tight belt around his waist and gut whilst he trained, are you saying all he needed to do was take a shit?
I think you would be shocked backstage at a typical show with how much of a shit problem some of the distended guts are LMAO. Ronnie Coleman wore a tight belt around his waist because he has the same abdominal injury I have as did Dennis James and as do quite a few male bodybuilders. It's called diastasis recti or abdominal separation. Ronnie's linea alba is over an inch wide and the abs have separated in the middle exposing it. You look like you have a gut and you can't surgically sew it back together while you are still actively training and competing. It is something that mostly affects women after pregnancy but it is not that uncommon in male bodybuilders like myself that did a lot of weighted ab work when younger. Ripped the six pack apart in the middle. Take a look of any front shot of Coleman and you will see it. It's hard to miss. Once that happens you have to do a lot of specialized ab work to tighten the transverse abdominis muscles that sit behind your abs to at least pull the gut back in as far as you can get it for best cosmetics but you can only do so much.
fair enough mate, its just because ive watched like 10 hours worth of documentaries mainly on youtube about the distended gut/ palumboism, i thought it was a real thing.
Hump gave some good advice. If u have a heating pad, u could use the heating pad in that area for 20 minutes.
Massage in circular motion towards the heart. This will help the flow of lymph fluid and assist in drainage. Lay supine while doing it. Keep us posted. Thank you sir.
Definitely see a doctor, but don't get too worried yet.
I went through about a year of testing to determine I have reactive lymph nodes. Allergies set mine off. I can almost smell a fart and feel them swell sometimes. If they're 1.5 cm or under they don't take them too seriously, providing there's no infection or lymphoma involved.
It definitely could be the gh, or you could just be reactive. Mine personally have swollen from a proper injection of prescription test. It typically only lasts a day or 2.
See your doc and get some blood work done. Be aware they will check your test levels if they have concerns of lymphoma. Spiked test levels are a side affect. But your concern needs to be on white blood cell count. If you have no signs of infection and no change in the swelling they will most likely want to do a scan with dye to see exactly what's going on. Then you'll pay them 5 k and hopefully take an allergy pill.
One more thing..... When you have a lot of lymph swelling, be easy with the rough sex or masturbation. You can develop a lymphocele on your penis pretty easily. Those take awhile to clear up.
Best of luck.
How about your blood work? Not talking hormone levels etc here but more what your full blood count might reveal. If there is an infection going on that causing your lymph nodes to swell then this may show up there. Just a thought.

Your stats give your age as 24 ??

Something your injecting which is likely gh, either bad GH or irritation in that area probably. Try your love handles, loose skin on upper legs or just do intermuscular injections. Switch GH it may be contaminated. Just ideas bro
X2...sounds like what could be the culprit...
well swollen lymph nodes is bodies reaction to infection, something is going on in your system, did you pin quads? maybe you went sub q and its travelled up leg therefore lymph nodes are reacting too that.
you had any unprotected sex lately/ recently? very, very common symptoms of an sexually transmitted disease, particualy herpes.
AnonPlus generally lymph nodes would normally first show up in your neck.
I realise they can appear anywhere on the body but most of the time that's where they first show bud.
AnonBrother swollen lymph nodes can be related to absolutely anything some serious but the majority harmless.
If your run down it can happen, it's generally a sign of a low immune system.
It will honestly most of the time rectify itself but obviously if they don't go down within a couple of weeks it's best to see the doc to be on the safe side.
Lack of sleep burning the candle at both ends can cause this I've been there bro.
lol. swollen lymph nodes are from abnormalities in a certain area of the body, generally speaking the absolute most common cause for the swelling or enlargement is due to infection, followed by imflammation, including fighting off foreign invaders which could indeed be from injecting steroids, they are a part of our bodies immune systems defence mechanism, swollen glands occur when the immune system recognises an infection, either viral, fungal, bacterial or paracidic, most common cause is chest infection or just a cold or flu, if he was to pin his quad and it goes sub q for some reason, the glands at top of legs in groin and pelvic region will swell and try surrounding the invader to prevent further spreading, the body does not know thts its steroids it thinks its under attack, its the same principle as cytokines and histimines, all lay key roles in defence, this could be completely un related to steroids at all, thats why he needs to see a real doctor and get real tests.
couple of weeks? wtf? too bad if its some kind of nasty bug or virus spreading further, could even be some form of cancer or flesh/ intestine eating paracite, how the fuck would we know?
back to the dr straight away buddy.
thank for the info though bro, very elaborate.
X2...swollen lymph nodes in specific area are from an infection that is close. Sinusitis/epiglotitis=neck lymph nodes...flea bite to the penis=groin lymph nodes...prostatitis/nephritis/colitis=abdominal lymph nodes....good info brother
AnonEverything you wrote there Is 100% correct. I'm just going off my own personal experience bro and also advise from my Doc.
Wasn't being a dick.
Plus a simple blood test would be the best way to go, a raised leukocyte level (white blood cell count) will always show through any infection viral or otherwise as you well know.
But yeah better to be safe then sorry and get it checked ASAP.
Mine have always disappeared after a week or 2 max that's where I got the time frame from.
All the best brother.
The differential of the CBC reveals the shift, whether right, or left, in addition to the leukocyte's range, which then indicates bacterial or viral. If its neither, parasitic and fungal are ruled out thru monocytes and eosinophils. Sometimes the diff can be all out of range and then more tests are needed to make a diagnosis.
AnonCorrect I just didn't wanna go in to too much detail and blind people with science.
Was just stating my own personal experience with swollen lymph nodes.
And at the same time try and not upset anyone on here in doing so.
Good post there though, short but to the point brother.
Quite a few smart members here...positive contributions to a thread, like u gave, are far from blinding anyone...lol...keep up the good work...i would like to see more of your great info in the posts and threads... =)
AnonThanks mate, I just find it quite difficult lately to post up in the forums. It's like a few wrong words phrased the wrong way and all of a sudden there's a shit storm raining down.
Maybe it's just me and my state of mind at the moment but I think I'll sit on the back burner for a while.
Thanks for the kind words bro.......
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.PermalinkI pin quads yes.
Sex - no. Just with my girlfriend and if she has herpes I am going to kick her ass lol.
I still have my antibiotics my dentist gave me for when I had an infection in my mouth. Should I go ahead and try those?
do u take any prescription meds?
Nope. None.
I even thought it was R-ALA because it mimics insulin. I'm freaking out honestly bc I am 3 weeks out.
First of all.. Dont Google it, u will just freak out, and it will mess with your head.
Anyway, swollen lymph nodes means your body is fighting of something, and since you are injecting GH into belly, we can assume its from the GH. Personally i would ditch the GH for a while and see if it goes down, it might be contaminated, but most likely its just a reaction from your immune system, and nothing to worry about. But i would see another doctor to be sure. stay safe!
Oh yeah I have already diagnosed myself with about ten different diseases. Lol!
Exactly, and i bet 2 of them is pregnancy and cancer lol, google is your best friend, but by no means your doctor!
Are you pinning HGH below your belly button?
Nope. I really never do. I have maybe 4-5 times. I usually do each side of belly button.
I have no idea then.

Yes - this is a contest cycle
I do take a probiotic and digestive enzymes. I also got 3-4 things to help clear my stool.
