[QUOTE="Scoot2300, post: 187590, member: 41263"] Hi All - I am 47 years old and in good health. I don’t drink (stopped 17 years ago) and stopped smoking about 15 years ago. When I was 27, I had pretty much wrecked my back with heavy lifting at my factory job. I have 3 discs fused together with 6 titanium screws. The bone graphs were taken from my illiac crests and that seems to be the issue as I age. I mean, my surgeons told me I would probably need more surgery 11 years past my first surgery but the recovery was an entire year and the surgery was 11 hours of hell (I was fused anterior and posterior) and I simply will try anything before going under the knife again. Again, I’ve lifted weights, ate healthy and got into cycling about 10 years ago and have done well staying as healthy as I can and have done the best I could do. However, I was curious to know what my blood work showed as I was experiencing some mood, low energy, etc. so I engaged an anti-aging clinic. I got my blood work done as I was definitely on the lower side for free testosterone but my original inquiry with them was for Secretegogues. My theory is it his, by increasing my body’s production of GH, it would help to stave off any degeneration that is going to occur because the discs above bear the brunt of the fusion.
