Hello everyone

I've been on trt for 3 weeks. Ever since starting I've been getting kidney pain mostly on injection day.
I a positive it's kidney pain cause I used to get them during hangovers in the past but that was due to dehydration. On my latest bloodwork before starting trt my creatinine and urea levels where normal. Did anyone have this when starting trt, and if yes did it go away?

Thanks in advance

You've only been on TRT for 3 weeks which isn't enough time for your body to fully adapt to your protocol.

I did have what I would call kidney or lower back pain on TRT and it was gone after the 6 week mark which is about the time my hormone levels fully stablize on injections.

Large infrequent injections (ei. weekly) can cause more side effects for some men because of the large difference between peak and trough.

If you want to get the most out of this thread, more detail is needed starting with your current dosage (mL & strength in mg) and injection frequency.

Yes I agree not enough time just asking if it's something that happens.

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.
