Hello everyone, I'm 33 m. 6'2 210 lbs. I've been hitting the gym about 6 yrs now. 5 years ago I herniated a disc & it flares up on me a few times a year & will keep me from working out for a couple of weeks. I have tried chiropractor & stretching. I do not like chiro so I quit going. I stretch daily to help with back pain. I recently purchased some Test E & deca to try something else to maybe help with pain. I refuse to use pain killers (hydrocodone etc.. too many people i know have problems with pain meds) I was planning on running both for first time, but I am a week in with Test 500mg & think I may try that for 10 weeks alone. I got blood work done & found my test levels were extremely low (possibly stress related). Mine is 248, dr says 300 - 600 is "normal". I would like to be around 1000. I still plan on running the Deca in the future as I would like to get some good gains in the gym & help with joint pain. Any info/ advice is appreciated. I was thinking of dropping to 350 Test E/wk. Looking for some members to ask ?'s. Thanks for all the help.
