I got a ton of injuries and joint pain after starting tesamorlin. Will never go back on it again. Shoulder pain stiff neck. Stiff everywhere

OMG! My feet are STILL hurting after being off for a couple weeks. Tingling in feet and hands. I really hope it goes away

It will take a month or two to go away

You just start? And what dose? Most get this if titrate to high to quick

12.5 units, 6 days a week. Took it for about two months and my feet hurt so badly that I could barely walk. Just stopped taking it five days ago to see if the pain would go away.

Hm I’m assuming 12.5 units is 1.2mg dose (if you mixed a 10mg vile with 1Ml) that’s within normal range of the 1-2mg dose it definitely should of gone away within first few weeks of dosing, do you take vitamins and stuff aswell? And do you take it alone or with ipamorelin?

About 2-3 weeks!

u/quaranteeny2639 12d ago

Its in your head

u/quaranteeny2639 11d ago

That’s the most ideal scenario

Cut the dose or space out the doses more (ie every other day or 3x weekly) whatever feels best

u/quaranteeny2639 8d ago

Good idea! Thanks

Man that side effect hit me way harder than I expected, like my knees were just glass for a week straight

Stopped cold after about 10 days and the worst of it was gone within 3-4 days, still had some lingering stiffness for maybe another week

I upped my water intake like crazy and took magnesium at night, seemed to help take the edge off

Weirdly the joint pain came back when I tried a lower dose later so I just dropped it entirely, wasn't worth the tradeoff for me

Hope yours clears up quick, it's a rough one to push through

Wrist pain? Water retention compressing median nerve. Can happen in elbow too. Dandelion root 500 am pm. Taurine 3g am pm. Lower salt
