Pitting edema on test/tren/t3

[WalnutBlast]

I am currently on 500/300 test/tren going into 4-5 months, and additionally was on 50mcg T3 which I dropped in fear it was making things worse.

I’ve been having some serious pitting edema in my ankle area and am not sure what it cause it, as well as having issues getting pumps and am losing vascularity. Any tips would be appreciated. I am using AI.

5 months of test/tren? Have you run bloodwork? How’s BP? Have you done legit anything diagnostically or is this it?

Have you don’t legit anything diagnostically

are you having a stroke

I thought you meant to say " You don't have anything legit diagnostically". Sorry, I was concerned for your well being

I was asking if OP had done legitimately anything except ask Meso if his pitting edema was a problem. I’m amazed at his lackadaisical approach to this..

I second that motion.
Can be a host of things I assume...DVT, potassium deficiency, high e2, kidney failure..?.. Tips? Go see your doctor. Don't have a doctor? Go to the hospital. Case closed.

I had it too and it looked pretty bad. I still might have it as I never figured out what caused it but wearing compression socks minimises it. Echo was OK, urine analysis perfect (no proteinuria or kidney issues), liver ok, no DVT. I suggest you check the same stuff out. Usually it means issues with the heart. Compression socks helped though. Zero other symptoms. Weird stuff.

Check out the difference

I get pitting edema pretty bad in lower legs with higher dosages of hGH. Lasix takes care of it pretty quick, but I had to back off hGH for other reasons anyway. To resolve the edema, I would take 40mg of Lasix once a day (morning).

And wow to that picture.

Yes I have... don’t assume. I’ve had bloodwork where everything was fine. I’m just now having these issues. They are new.

wouldn’t it be hard to take lasix everyday? I can only imagine the cramping lol. Hctz or aldactone seem less scary for daily use. Better than edema though

that looks super worrisome . How long did it take to resolve completely? Are you on your feet for the majority of the day?

i read your post . Would not t3 help with water retention ? Could be possible 50 was too much and the body was compensating by lowering overall thyroid function?

Is it only in your ankles ?

I know It does... I got every blood marker tested, echocardiogram, urine analysis, markers for clots etc and could not figure it out. Neither could the doc.

To be fair it got that bad after I had been on my feet for a good 3 hours straight without moving much in the evening. It usually went down by the morning. When I started to wear compression socks I pretty much dropped 5 lbs immediately and it hasn't come back. I have been wearing the socks day and night though. I tried a diuretic (HCTZ) which did very little. AI had a big impact though.

yeah man, since you were proactive and had the test/saw a doctor , could have been just a random incident from standing on your feet, but I’d say you answered it.... estrogen. Specifically if HCTZ didn’t help , but an AI did. I guess The water retention caused by estrogen was just being pulled to your ankles mainly. Glad you are good to go and got it under control.

Just got all my bloods. Kidneys all good. EKG came back normal, and so did my blood pressure. E2 was about 110 though, so seems like my ai was bunk.
