wife it interfered with my recovery what a AS* Hole. I dam near died one

infection after the other out could 17 weeks and had to have 5 sugary so you bet

if your levels are low you will not heal.

Wellcome to this forum. I am searching for a doctor that will help me with my

low T symptoms. I'm 49 with a T level of 388 (it's said that that is the level

of an 85 year old man). I've got tendonitis in several joints. Tendonitis while

not a big problem for a healthy man, it is not healing for me. I feel like my

joints are slowly letting loose.

My advice to you is, pursue the HRT and don't take no for an answer. Take a look

in the physicians database for a doc that may be near you. I know for me, I have

to educate myself on how to speak and convey my situation to the doctor. Most

doctors are very apprehensive when it comes to HRT. The trick is to find the

good one. Take care.

found out was because I've been battling an injury that has been going on for

over 10 years. I've had lots of treatment for it, but my body has never really

responded to the treatment and my physical condition continues to get worse. A

new doctor I'm seeing tested my testosterone and found it to be pretty low. He's

suggesting that this may be the reason why I haven't healed, because one major

part of testosterone is its ability to help heal the body. My libido is fine

(that god!), but I am prone to anxiety, some depression, lack of motivation, and

just feeling all around crappy. I'm just wondering if there are others out there

who have experienced similar things as I have. Specifically, I wonder if others

have had a hard time recovering from injuries because of a lack of testosterone?

And if you have, have you noticed any change in that once you've started hormone

therapy? Thanks to any who respond.

Welcome. Find a doc who will treat you fast and don't take no for an answer

I've heard that osteoporosis (brittle bones) is one of the symptoms for Low-T,

but I'm no expert.
