[QUOTE="FOX1, post: 109675, member: 15594"] [U][B]What Caused Me to Need TRT [/B][/U]at the age of 50 years, I had an accident where I broke my neck (C6). During recovery I was on MST (Morphine) for pain and the pain clinic decided to change my medication over to OXY, within 2 days of changing medication I took a turn, which caused a fall and guess what: two further fractures to my spine (back) this was my T7 & T8 vertebrae. . I then had a DEXA scan which showed osteopenia which is low bone density and the onset or osteoporosis. . Following this I had various blood tests which showed "total Testosterone as "normal" , but "Free & Bio" testosterone as low, very low . Through recovery, physio, TRT & now dedication at the gym I have made a very reasonably good recovery, still nerve pain and some restricted movement but my gains in gym & fitness is now back to what I was in mid 20's. . All opiate medication has been ditched as this can also cause low testosterone, alcohol has been cut back, NO mid week 9pm alcoholic drinks, still enjoy a drink at weekend but a good focus now on diet & health and a good nitrogen stack as advised from Vince. I am now retired as the fractures meant I could not continue working offshore on oilrigs and my employer gave me early retirement. The Gym & my wife are indeed my life now as well as travel, enjoying the scenic routes in USA, Life can be good after a serious injury. [/QUOTE]
