HGH for joint pain/injuries

[readalot]

Yes. GH excess causes tendinopathy, osteoarthritis, bony overgrowth, edema, etc.

You can’t just blast any of these drugs, hormones, growth factors, stupidly, and not expect significant functional decrements over the life course as a result.

It’s not all benefit, there are tradeoffs inherent to every intervention in life!

Fantastic summary. Well done!

Pay to play.

This struck me as very counterintuitive. I had assumed the anabolic properties of GH on connective tissue would help preserve my joint health, reduce the risk of osteoarthritis, and help maintain my mobility and training capacity into advanced ages. Upon looking into it more though, you are absolutely right.

This definitely changes the calculation around whether it's wise to run this compound through middle age.

shouldn't be, fat folks have higher IGF and have all those issues TYPE mentioned because of that. certainly confounding factors however as I always say "no free lunch", even the slight increase in blood sugar is prob worse for us then most people appreciate even when/if sub sub clinical.
