Throbbing pain, right thigh

ad

Have been using 4-5 iu hgh for about 3.5 months. Had pain in front of left thigh, deep felt like the actual bone. It has moved to right thigh and no longer effecting left leg, has become almost unbearable. Have lowered dose to 3.5iu every day, for about 4or 5 days now and pain hasn't changed. Squats and leg press hurt like hell. Anyone else experience this?

Generic

Maybe it is neuropathy due to increased sugar level?

I am using insulin as well.

Never had it before and it seems to move around. I have read that it is a symptom of excess hgh but they aren't clear descriptions of the pain.

What makes you think it's related to the hgh

Used to only feel it after going to bed. Now it's all day. Kinda feels like growing pains but doing squats and other leg exercises are more painful now.

Any edema symptoms (swelling) in your feet or hands? Numbness in your finger tips?

Carpal tunnel in left wrist worsened during 1st month but is now better then it was prior to hgh use.

I ask because I wonder if the dose being where it's at, edema and carpal tunnel syndrome are common sides. With that being said, my thought process was geared towards fluid retention and swelling in tissues possibly exerting pressure on a nerve. Only judging by your discription, and my interpretation could be off.

So, pain originates somewhere around hip flexor, maybe a little lower. Extends to about 6 inches above knee. Seems like it radiates from close to femur. Is there a significant nerve through there?

Actually that makes a lot of sense. During 1st month of hgh use I did put on 5+ pounds of water weight and even though it has subsided my legs (muscles) feel harder than usual. So it's possible that there is pressure internally that I can't see ( as edema).
And the pain is actually still in both legs just not very noticeable in left leg. Maybe I will stay at 3.5 iu's and skip it all together on non training days, at least until pain changes.

Try dropping the dose for a few days and drinking excess fluids with multi vitamins. See if the sides lessen. If so, a leer dose may be ideal.

Will do, I appreciate the help.

More than slightly numb fingertips but not bad. No swelling that I have noticed.
