Persistent Chesticles Caliente

[TurtleTank]

Hey guys,

I’ve read quite a few thread on this and searched around here and on other sources, but still having trouble deciding what to do. I’ve been having consistent spicy nips (no significant growth, just inflamed, lots of itching, stinging, and shooting pains) for about 9 months now, both during blast and cruise. I’ve had three sets of blood work during this period, and my estrogen and prolactin have been normal in all three.

During cruise, I was taking 200mg TC, dosed twice a week, with .5mg anastrozole twice a week.

Currently on moderate blast now, 400 TC and 200 Deca, three pins a week, with .5mg anastrozole and .25mg cabergoline with each pin.

I’m taking the caber based on the docs recommendation, even though prolactin isn’t elevated, I’m guessing to hopefully reduce progesterone?

I’ve been taking Raloxifene (60mg ED) and it stops the spice completely, but I’ve tried to wean off of it twice now, once after increasing AI and once after adding in the Caber, and both times it comes back immediately.

So the question is, would it be better just to stay on Ralox, especially on cycle, and consider surgery? Or is it worth continuing to adjust AI and prolactin blockers and try and wean off again?

Additionally, I tolerate all of these substances very well. This is the only side effect I’m having, other than I do notice increased fatigue and joint pain when I have too much AI.

Follow up on this: pinning every day seems to have helped considerably. Going back over my historical labs, it seems like I get the spicy nipples every time I change doses, but that once I stick to a dose for a couple weeks, it gradually declines and then goes away. Could be my body is still getting used to excessive hormones.

Would still love to get some advice, but I’m also totally open to someone’s blunt correction if I did something wrong in the way I asked.

Take an estrogen blocker.
Nolvadex

Might be a mental thing possibly. I’ve gotten in my head before about things. Get blood work. Test levels.

Try some mast with your other stuff.

Appreciate it. I have some Mast on order and will try that next.

I get spicy nips and some inflammation; whenever my dosage is changed. Usually only lasts ~4/5 days. Don't get shooting pains like you.

I don't see any issue with continuing to use the tamoxifen while on blast. (As long as you lower it, I feel like 60mg a day is a bit much while also using adex on 400mg test) How much growth have you experienced? Try switching to aromasin, It's less harsh and I find it more effective.

Haven't bothered looking into surgery because even though I have some inflammation with mass under my nips on cycle, it totally disappears after I come off, but I don't cruise I PCT. Cruising could be causing continuous stimulation to the glands resulting in your nips being irritated anytime you take out the tamoxifen.

I actually haven’t ever tried tamoxifen. I’m using Rolox, since I’ve heard it comes with less side effects.

Also, I don’t think I’ve experienced any actual gyno growth. It’s a little hard to tell because I’m bulking and retaining water, but I think it’s just the burning / slight pain.

That’s one thing I can’t seem to find any real literature on, but seems to be common. Having sensitivity without tissue development.

I believe that Tamoxifen is more selective for the breast tissue vs Raloxifene, though raloxifene is better for you.
