My knees are stiff and weak the higher I push the dose, I'm sitting around 6iu nightly I don't want to lower the dose. Is there something I could supplement to help with the joint problems?

Okay I live in Canada is there a certain bloodwork panel I ask for or just ask for those things? Or is there somewhere you could refer me too?If you won’t reduce rHGH dose, you need bloodwork.
IGF-1
CMP (Metabolic panel)
CBC
HS-CRP
A1C
GGB
About $150 for all from a self ordered lab testing service.
Then we’ll know what to fix to address your knee symptoms. Guessing won’t work. Could be kidneys, liver, insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, etc
@Ghoul I'm due for a hs crp tesr next week, but I just had shoulder surgery yesterday so I'm afraid that that number is gonna be highly skewed because of the natural inflammation from the surgery. What a waste of money. I think i'm gonna just not test it next week and put it off for as long as I can looking for any kind of advice. Thanks.If you won’t reduce rHGH dose, you need bloodwork.

I just found one teletext.ca ordered the testing will post blood work here when it's done Thabks for all your help I do appreciate it.Ask in the “Canadian source thread” in the underground, they can hook you up. If you can’t get them all, get what you can.
The root of the problem is sodium reabsorption in the kidney causing water retention, which is normal with GH, but if it’s excessive it could mean an underlying kidney problem, or something is crushing liver IGF leaving too much free GH to work on the kidney. (Or the dose is just too high for your physiology).
A diuretic, HCTZ etc, is a brute force way to fix it, but it’s best to know why it’s happening. You wouldn’t want to discover you have a kidney (or liver) problem and just mask it with a diuretic.
