+ 2 Edema in legs
ad
Been taking BPtropin for several weeks. 8 to 9 Iu’s a day and suddenly I am holding enormous amounts of water. I had the same problem with kits4less gh. I’m going to drop down to 1-2 iu’s and hope it goes away. Also taking 600mg test , 200 tren a , 50mg anadrol a day. And started taking semaglutide. I’m 290 , 20% body fat and 41. I hate holding this much water I feel like a blob.

michelle692002HGH can cause water and sodium retention, leading to swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, legs, or face. Higher doses can increase the risk.
But don't automatically assume swelling is from HGH. Edema can also signal heart, kidney, liver, thyroid, or medication-related issues.
Looks like to many miles on that dabm tread mill
As a big guy around here (6’4 270) my suggestion for any cycle your size is minimal dose. No tren, no a bombs… test, NPP, growth, and maybe a fat lose miracle drug.
I’m more curious what your past 365 days of gear use have been…
Trinitykiller69Thank you brother. I just cruised on 100mg of test from January until apri. Then raised my test all of may and then this month threw in the other stuff. I’ve taken what I’m taking a handful of times with no issues. Except I was using kalpa or para pharma gh and kept it at 2-3 iu’s a day. The culprit is the excessive use of gh.
To be honest I’m not over weight and go through spurts. Epsom salt bath for a couple hours and a full bag when you get this.
Trinitykiller69Yeah, I’m not over weight either. I have ab visibility. So I take most of what these people say with a grain of salt. Some are extremely knowledgeable others not so much. I’m not one that hides what I do from my Dr. he is well aware of what compounds I take and monitors my body. Thank you brother for commenting.
I am at a standing desk all day squats, calf raises, to squeeze the water out helps. Do not wrap it can cause blood clots no joke. Seen it
I am just going to be blunt and to the point. The issue is you are 290lbs and that is hard on your heart and all and you are injecting all of that stuff. You should just stop and get on some tirzepitide or Retatrutide and get the weight down first. You will shed the water with Reta as well. Once the weight is off you will start feeling tons better and a lot of your health issues will probably be solved as well including pre diabetic.
Trinitykiller69Thanks for the comment but I feel great. Minus a nagging shoulder injury from the dam 150’s --
290 lbs...How tall are you? You mentioned taking the HGH for a few weeks and your already up to 8-9iu? There lies your issue #1. When running high dose hgh you need to start out with maybe 1-2iu ed, you run that for 3-4 weeks and see how the sides are. If everything is good to go then you increase by 1iu and repeat the 3-4 week timeframe and if your good to go then again increase by 1iu. Only a few weeks, you jumped up WAY to fast. Just drop the HGH completely until your body is normal again and then if you wanna run it start over the right way. I personally do run high dosed hgh on a bulk and I can really ramp the iu's up fast, but it's going to be different from one person to the next, clearly you will need to move slowly. Issue #2 is as someone else mentioned, your blood sugar issues... Are you prediabetic, what is your FBG/A1C? 290lbs is heavy, most likely you have some insulin resistance and your blood sugar is not in good shape. I would run a couple iu's max for fat loss and wait until your very lean, maybe 10-12% BF to even think about high dosed HGH. And even then make sure your blood sugar is fixed and you're not in a prediabetic/diabetic state. At 290lbs overweight high dose HGH will definitely enlarge your heart even more, that's VERY bad and should be taken very seriously if you wanna live another 10-20 yrs or more. I will say I've ran up to 24iu ED and not once have I ever had edema in my ankles. But I live the lifestyle, eat clean, keep my BF low and I also make sure my FBG and insulin resistance are perfect before I run HGH. Your best bet for fat loss is to commit to a calorie deficit for an extended period of time until your bodyfat % is close to 10%. Eat Clean, Do 1-1.5hrs daily fasted cardio, good workout split, train hard, run some test, focus on fat burning. If you're heart is healthy enough then add in some Clen, T3, few iu's HGH is fine, a GLP-1 is your friend, be consistent and in time you will get to exactly where you want to be. Then after all the fat loss is complete you can entertain the thought of a Bulk.
Trinitykiller69Thank you for the advice.
Start drinking some freshly squeezed lemonade. About 1 lemon for every 8 ounces of water. It’s a natural diuretic. Will help excrete sodium and water. This might help you now that you are reducing gh dose.
get glucose checked and i suggest stop taking anadrol and reduce the gh per day. also i truly suggest you check your kidney function
Trinitykiller69You’re right. And that is very important. My doctor routinely does blood tests to checking organ function. Creatine levels are slightly elevated from time to time. I simply take off working out a Few days and it returns to normal. Drs orders of course.
I wouldn’t run growth that high personally
Get glucose monitor to check fasted glucose, a must have if your taking this hobby/sport serious, around $30 Amazon. The amount of hgh your taking could be causing insulin resistance. That would result in becoming diabetic which will cause lower leg edema. Like Growtherino mentioned get blood work done, you may have an underline condition. Doing cardio, lower sodium and compression socks may help, a bitch to put on though LOL. Liver and Kidney issue will cause edema. Also a blot clot and lower leg poor circulation will also cause lower leg edema. Have an ultrasound done, it will show if you have a blot clot and poor circulation on both legs.
The trick I use for compression socks is to roll them outward from the top down to about half the foot part, put my foot in, then you can just unroll it up your leg easy peasy. They are really just a bandaid in this type of situation, though, they'll help, but won't fix the underlying issue.
Thats not healthy. Your body cant process that much gh. Vit c at 2000mg as a start.
First, I would get a comprehensive organ panel of blood work done to be sure it isn't something with your liver, kidneys, or heart. Lowering GH and seeing how that responds is also a good step in the immediate term. Get compression socks (minimum 20mmHg), elevate them when you can (especially when sleeping they sell post surgery leg elevation wedges on amazon $25 I love mine), cardio minimum 5 days a week, limit sodium intake, make sure E2 is in range, lower your bodyfat. These are some steps to take in the immediate term. If things resolve then start to titrate the GH up slowly monitoring for symptoms on the way up. If things don't resolve to some degree relatively quickly, I would personally strongly consider aborting cycle until you can resolve. Holding that amount of water can be dangerous. Although it is mostly visible in your legs, it is likely happening throughout your body putting stress on your heart and other organs. I would advise extreme caution with diuretics.
Trinitykiller69Thank you guys for your comments guys. I haven’t heard anything about the insulin issue so thank you for that. But everything else I knew and my primary care physician is well aware of it. It went away when I lowered my gh and then I raised it so the gh is causing something in my body to react this way. I do do cardio 30 minutes 3 , 4 days an week. Again, thank you for your comments.
