[QUOTE="TucsonJJ, post: 185811, member: 40106"] I started TRT 7 weeks ago, and have moderate swelling in right ankle and lower calf only, pain along inside edge of right shinbone. I was on 100mg/wk to start, lowered down to 50mg the 7th week as I was having side effects, poor sleep, gut issues, insomnia, and no real benefits noticed. Around week6, I did 8 days of 500mg 2x/day Amoxicillin (was supposed to be 10 days but stopped), which made me feel even worse, and could be the reason for the ankle swelling and shin pain... jeeze! I was going to start low dose HCG, but am now so frustrated I am leaning towards stopping the TRT completely... would it be advisable to take the HCG, maybe 200iu 2x/day to help me stop the TRT? Do you think I will feel even worse stopping the T after 8 weeks? I have always been sensitive to all drugs/chemicals, so maybe this struggle is no surprise. 64 yrs old, good shape, not overweight, not diabetic... my Free T was 5.2ng before starting TRT... been a one very small dose nightly marijuana user for many years... maybe that was what dropped my Free T so low? Sure helped me sleep, I stopped smoking it when I went on TRT... Sorry for the long-winded comment! [/QUOTE]
