TRT & Tendon Pain (Low E2)?

1/2ml of 100mg/ml or 200mg/ml?

ALWAYS discuss doses in mg or iu, never volumes.

Please post pre-TRT lab results with ranges.
LH/FSH should have been done then.
Prolactin?
Any loss of width of peripheral vision?

On TRT, LH/FSH → zero, do not test again. What is doctor thinking [?]

You need to double T dose. This will increase E2.

Is T cyp pharmaceutical or from a compounding pharmacy. If compounded, talk to them and ask if they added an aromatase inhibitor [anastrozole] to it.

With TRT, if one gets into training, there can be problems with muscle strength/forces increasing rapidly when connective tissue takes a year or more.

Current labs: Please post all lab work and must have ranges. You need to have FT testes or at least SHBG if FT not available.
