Hip and Leg Pain with HCG???

Hi Folks

I started HCG with a 250iu E3.5D protocol and will have my 4th shot tomorrow. I have been experiencing significant lower back and leg/Hamstring pain and it seems this is the only change implemented to my regimen.

I'm taking TestoGel daily and my labs were all good two weeks ago. The pain is pretty severe and chronic, I wondered if anyone on the forum had experienced or heard of it associated with HCG shots?

I workout 4 days a week with weight though I have skipped leg day and dead-lifts too to let the situation settle.

Appreciate knowledgeable feedback if this is a known HCG side effect.
 
No it's not a known HCG side effect. I definitely think the pain is being caused by something else. You can stop HCG and know for sure if it's HCG, do some experimenting.
 
Do you get massages? If so last time you had psoas work done? Only asking because my wife is a LMT and Ive had the same thing off and on. Also cialis was my first thought as well.. it gave me bad sciatica type pain that ran down my hammies..
 
No massages (shame :)) but I'll stay away from the Cialis and see how that goes for a week or so.

Thanks all - at lease it puts my mind at rest about the HCG.

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.
