How to tell if E2 is getting high without access to sensitive test?

Does Cialis cause joint pain?

I was referring to your dose of .25mg 2x weekly. I cannot recall without looking but I know my e2 was under 20 using only .125mg 2x weekly. I felt awful, moreso on the mental side of things but it certainly could be the cause of your joint pain. Anastrozole is very powerful stuff!

That's what I had assumed. even .75mg weekly is a pretty substantial dose for most guys.

Does Cialis cause joint pain?

I'd bet money its the Anastrozole as that is a pretty hefty dose per week. it's also known to cause joint pain if e2 is lowered to low. What was your sensitive e2 at before starting an AI?
