Hello all,

Recently started taking Test cyp via IM at 100mg a week. I am 30, have spondylolisthesis grade 2 with stenosis, par defects, and bulging disks. I have been having increasing pain for a while, have had to have CTs/MRIs, saw a surgeon and a physiatrist. Basically, I wanted to avoid all any any interventions that would entail poking holes or cutting into in my back. Now I just started the T injections, am on day 5 or so and it has been amazing. My back hurts ZERO. I used to come home and just lie down on the couch or floor to rest my back.

This has been an amazing change but it happended so quickly. Anyone else with similar results? Amongst the pain relief other effects I have noticed are an increased sense of well being, my hands hurt less, that annoying painful shoulder crink/tightness is gone, I've slept better, feel happier, am drinking less and can do more at the gym.

If just the back pain relief stays and the other effects fade away I think it will still be a huge boost.

That all said, I find it almost suspicious as to how quickly these effects came on. Anybody else find the pain relief?
 
Yes, I’ve now had 15 surgeries on my arms, 13 of which on my left arm due to an injury. I have severe elbow arthritis and a couple times when I’ve tried stopping trt the pain is significantly worse. One other thing I’ll add is since starting trt a decade ago, I just don’t get sick anymore. I can’t tell you the last time Ive even had a cold, but absolutely yes I agree to the pain relief aspect you’re referring to.

I mean I’m happy he posted that cause I have almost identical issues and am trying my 4th run at trt so gives me hope. But for him personally that’s great advice. I don’t care who you are you start reading negatives about trt your going to start to second guess and look into them and drive yourself nuts lol.

Most men, not all get a honeymoon, with trt for 2 to 4 weeks. When I first started trt I felt incredible. Now I just feel good, which is fine with me.

I hope trt keeps your pain away. That would be an awesome benefit.

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.
