I'm currently dealing with a few things that may or may not be TRT related. I scoured these forums to see if I could find help with no conclusive answers.
Background:
38, 5'11", 205lbs
TRT since Feb 2018, currently 138mg/week (3x) + 500IU HCG (2x) + .125mg Anastrozole 2-3x as needed
DHEA 25mg...
Currently taking 100 mg Test /w. E2 was 59. Dr put me on .5mg Arimidex 3Twk. 6 wks later my ankles are swollen,not sore just swollen. My next blood test is 3 wks. Should I continue the dose or cut back?

Understanding Your Hormones
Estradiol (E2)
A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido.
Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.
DHT
Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth,
prostate health, and masculinization effects.
Free Testosterone
The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins.
Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
