Diverticulitis / Blood Clot Question regarding Testosterone

[DeMegaMan619]

Hello everyone. Great site! Great resource!

i have an appointment with my primary so I will be seeking my doctor's advice. In the mean time, I was hoping to run my situation passed you guys and seek some recommendations.

From my primary, I am on injectible testosterone 200 mg per week. Since then, I went to an aging clinic and was prescribed HCG at 500 units three times per week. I ran that passed my primary and he was okay with it. So that had been my protocol since Oct of last year.

in early May, I was hospitalized for diverticulitis. I haven't injected anything since then. We are hoping the diverticulitis will not be a chronic situation. No surgery was needed. I developed a superficial blood clot shortly after being discharged. Nothing other than a low dose aspirin and rest were ordered to treat that.

Assuming I get a handle on the diverticulitis, and the superficial blood clot breaks/clears, am I still a candidate for TRT? A little about me. I never felt terrible. I am overweight though and I literally work out 7 to 10 times a week. Two a days are very common for me. Because of that, I was open to TRT in the first place.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

TRT should have no effect on diverticulitis.

Tell me more about the "superficial blood clot".

The first day home from the hospital I woke up with a terrible limp in my right leg behind my calf. I tolerated it for a few days but it came back worse than before so I returned to the clinic. Again, I had woken up with the pain/limp.

I did a Doppler / ultra sound and they found a superficial blood clot. I believe the term was superficial. It was not a DVT or anything worse. They referred to my doctors at the hospital who treated me and a baby aspirin and rest were all that was advised.

Just to add, 'superficial venous thrombus' was the official diagnosis. But I'll still be contacting the doc in your link. Thanks again!
