Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 " Among these signs my long arms, narrow feet, long toes, and thin wrists. My thin wrists have always been the bane of my existence. As a child they were often the topic of discussion. No one likes to stand out as a freak. I get reminded of this every summer when I must decide between exposing my arms or being the only person still wearing long-sleeved shirts.... I'd be interested to hear from anyone with the same problem. " I have the same problems, and I'm pretty sure I was deficient all my life. The only reason I wasn't so focused on my wrists was that I had breast development as well. I was self conscious about going barechested most of my adult life until I had breast reduction surgery. With my long fingers, my mother used to say I should have been a surgeon. I never became one, but found they come in handy for certain sexual activities with GF's! :-) I'm 6'2 " and my arm length is 35-1/2 " and my shoe size is 14. My wrists look small but generally I haven't been that concerned about them. Do you have any joint problems or an abnormal gait? I have to wear orthotics in my shoes so as to not be in pain walking. I've had bone spurs develop in most of my joints but surgery has corrected that. I also have retractile testis, which basically means high-riding testicles. They shrank on T replacement and would go into the inguinal canals, so I had an orchiopexy to bring them down and close the opening into the inguinal canals.

I have developed bone chips in both my knees in the past few years, although a doctor told me that it was just osteoarthritis and not related to the decrease in bone density I have also experienced. > I also have retractile testis, which basically means high-riding > testicles.

I have had retractile testes on a temporary basis, many times. (Unfortunately it usually seems to happen during sex.) A number of doctors told me it was normal but I never believed them. It seems to get worse when my testosterone level from TRT causes further testicular shrinkage. (I suppose this shuts off all remaining LH release.) I am hoping to solve this problem now that I have a prescription for HCG. I haven't had to worry about the breast development until now. My endocrinologist just told me that I am showing signs of gynecomastia, but actually I'm not sure what he is talking about. I'm sort of counting my blessings since reading your post, although I wouldn't mind being as tall as you. I haven't had to have all these surgeries (although they want to go to work on my knees). Thanks for answering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 > Can I ask,what is HCG HCG is " human chorionic gonadotropin " It is separated into two components, and one of the components is given to stimulate the testicles directly to make testosterone, and to a lessor extent, sperm. It acts like LH (luteinizing hormone), the natural pituitary hormone that normally stimulates testosterone production, but is reduced in men with secondary hypogonadism. It acts like FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) to a smaller degree, which stimulates sperm production. You can take it if you have secondary hypogonadism, but it won't do much if you have primary hypogonadism, where the testicles don't work. There can be some men with both partial primary and secondary at the same time apparently however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
