Estrogen+IGF-1= Gyno?

ad

Ok, heres the thing, ive had surgery in the past and usually when i get these symphtoms they are not directly under or aroung the nipple [I]only[/I]. I get painful lumps near arm pit or/and around chest area aswell under, below etc nipple.
This what has happend lately: I was using a 1 pump a day Formestane and been on it for over a month, just to achive better phisical appearance while dieting.
Recently i got prescpited with simvastin.
I noticed these painful lumps appearing again...though that since im using AI it cant be from estrogen..but could it be that my rx statin is lowering T levels and since im not on high dose Formestane im still having estrogen circulating on my system with added IGF-1 levels from Form thus causing this to happen?

yup, but your still only guessing without a blood screen. Also it could be a swollen lymph node..definitely something to consult your doctor..too many variables for bro science

I guess the best way to describe this would be "I'm in tune with my body".
I've been through with this more times than I can count.
Couple just below pec muscle on both sides, couple below left nippel and above , one in middle of chest.
They all feel behave similar way... AI always helps.
But you do bring a valid point with lymph nodes..
The thing is that I've had test and e levels checked b4 and estro hs always been on control, even when I was having gyno problems..I was told that for some unknown reason aromatization happens in my chest area.
This was basicly before I ever touched any AAS .

only way to know is bloods , cheap insurance against high estro

I know, but where im from thats not possible. Only doctor can prescripe blood tests here. Then again estro could well be in check but when its combined with higher IGF-1 levels it migh cause troubles. I´ve stopped both btw now and running only AI. So far i can see after couple of day that sympthoms are going away and definitely not feeling as much irritation.fck Form from now on. If i need a serm or AI it will be something that wont raise IGF-1 levels as just slightly elevated E levels only (i think in the past) won`t always cause immediate gyno flare ups.

Lol..thought so..dropping Form.
Any suggestions how to continue?..thinking of Nolva since it'll lover IGF-1.
Probably not fast so I'll need something to quick lower estro.
