Trent Alexander-Arnold

[fidget]

Did you go through your doc or a private clinic?

[labourRed]

Yeah, most on TRT are in private clinics, NHS will only do it if you're in a red zone and even then i reckon it'd be a struggle depending on where you live.

My levels were low and I was experiencing symptoms, Poor sleep, tiredness, increased recovery time after the gym etc (no lack of libido though ) so I started 12 months ago (was almost 55 at the time)
Best thing I ever did. If you come off it your body takes a few months before your levels will be back to pre TRT. I'd probably feel like **** for a while but the upside is more than worth it.
I also take BPC 157 (a peptide) which has worked miracles on my tendonitis.

Definitely suitable under some conditions.

I did that to my ankle in October.

When I got home it looked like it had ingested a tennis ball. By the weekend I couldn't put my shoe on. My entire lower leg swelled up massively and went purple.

5 months later and I'm still not playing football but I can run comfortably.

I don't feel confident I'll play football again tbh. But then again I'm 50 in April.

Yer old and creaky.

Same as the other broken down nags like Bob & co

Just out of interest, how did you get your peptide? I can't find anybody locally

Ditto for me. On the other hand, I couldn't play football before the injury either.

Heard the TRT is great and recommended once your into the mid 40s when the levels drop. There are some great supplements as alternatives likes Tongkat Ali and Fadogia Agrestis which work. I've been on the BPC and TB 500 combo for a few months now trying to help my dodgy back & shoulder tendonitis but it's tablet form and not doing much to be honest, the gut is probably burning it up & reducing it's efficacy. Are taking the peptide injections? Would love to try the injections into the problem area but don't know anywhere that does it over here. I am considering PRP & stem cells for my back but pricey(everything is pricey in Ireland).... PRP injection less so.

We may need to start another thread

With your back I would be looking to go down the head in a jar Futurama approach.

I need an exoskeleton like in that Matt Damon movie, start smashing people & doing back flips!

I thought my testosterone levels were bad and experiencing everything you mention but a blood test said I was OK. I still think I need it, can I insist?

Lots of old farts here, I'm taking Shilajit everyday and I'm certain it's boosting my testa levels. Recommend trying. I take that, Vitamin D, Zinc and Saw Palmetto, really recommend. Tried all sorts of supplements and boosters, these are the ones that felt like working.

Yeah you've got no chance.
I'll take this over to the health thread.

[kingfunk]

Nevermind TRT, get on good shilajit!

Nevermind TRT, get on good shilajit!

I'll check that out too

With TRT, you take a manufactured form of testosterone to regulate your levels. This can help improve the symptoms of low testosterone, like low libido and lack of energy.

TRT doesn’t fix or cure the underlying cause of low testosterone. In fact, it will cause your testicles to stop working




Pros and cons I suppose.
