yea, ive seen the same about very polar opposite reviews. More good than bad though.
I'm currently doing a bpc/tb500 topical combo from Muscle Gelz. Mostly for knee pain that's started coming on lately. I think it's helping, but going to give it a couple months to make sure its not any nocebo...
I'm gonna start on Enclomiphene myself shortly. Been on the TRT/HCG combo for 6+ months and never noticed much difference (outside of some strength gains in the gym) to warrant the annoyance of pinning myself indefinitely.
I am a bit younger than you though so maybe that changes things, but...
Wouldn't Deca (nandralone) be more what you are looking for than anavar - especially when it comes to aches and pain? Also pill form of bpc157 could help a lot with ulcers.
Lastly, at 60 just get on T. There truly doesn't seem like much downsides if any...
