[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 72816, member: 3"] Swelling is one of TRT's most troublesome and hard to manage side effects. It occurs (in my estimate) to about 20 percent of users. The potential causes could be cortisol build up, increase sodium retention, in rare cases high estradiol, or cardiovascular issues. I am enclosing several posts on these issues. [COLOR=#333333]Most cases of lower extremity (peripheral) edema has nothing to do with estradiol and a lot to do with cardiovascular issues.
