He was talking about HGH to repair broken bones and injuries and how quick and effective it worked for most of the guys. We were questioning if it would be of any help in us chronics.......
Has anyone heard or tried it ?

men who suffer from any type of paralysis loses testosterone and growth hormones and in order to bring them to normal levels must use hgh and steroids. I also noticed my bp has leveled out since taking hgh.
As far as side effects growth has none but testosterone obviously does but ill take my chances "cant get any worse right?
I have to have started moving alot more but like stem cells dont know if that would have been coming back anyways but increase of strength is definetly due to the hgh.
Today at the gym I did rows 175 lbs 25 times and 230 lbs 15 times. not bad for 8 months post c5 c6 quad!!

I just started another 3 month cycle of Oxandrolone today.
Oxandrolone is an oral AAS, and commonly used by AIDS patients and burn victims to build muscle mass and keep weight on.
Of all anabolic steroids, it's probably the safest and least problematic one out there.
I have been doing testosterone injections weekly for about 6 months, as most men with SCIs have low test levels, and it's needed to build muscle.
This cycle will be my 3rd in 18 months, and each time, I have gotten an increase in muscle mass and mobility while I'm on them.
The problem with doing steroids is very few doctors know anything about them, nor how to use them. I have a prescription for them, but I had to get my knowledge outside of my doctor's office.
I made some mistakes with my first cycle and had some health issues like high blood pressure and liver problems initially, but after talking to a couple of gear-heads at the gym and the internet, they helped me and I got them under control.
Armed with that knowledge, and routine blood work, I had ZERO problems with my last cycle this last fall.

The testosterone doesn't lower my voice, but the Oxandrolone sure does.
My wife and I lead a music group at church every week and play funerals several times/year, so I sing a lot and when I'm on Oxandrolone....I can't float up to the higher notes as easily.
As far as liver function, I take an herbal supplement that keeps my liver working good (I still get it tested every 6 weeks).
Plus I eat extremely good, don't drink, or take pain meds that are hard on the liver, which helps.
In addition, when you do Test, you need to take Arimidex, or similar drugs to keep your estrogen levels in check.
As far as frequent erections.....uhm....yeah....that too.
Fortunately, I have a very accommodating wife who's willing to help out there.
As I wrote earlier....you need to know what you're doing and unfortunately, most doctors don't.

Big E, I used to play college football and then went to play in the Pro's and got an SCI on a block (I was an offensive lineman) and it ended my career. My injury was to a very unusual area for athletes, it was at T-11/12 and after my surgery in 1990, I had some lasting effects of Chronic pain and depression (mainly because I couldn't play the game I loved so much anymore). I finally was able to deal with that emotion with help from a psychologist and I was able to go back to work.
In 2002, as I was at work, I was walking the stairs (for exercise, we always took the stairs) I noticed that my legs just didn't want to work. It wasn't that I was out of shape or huffing and puffing, but it was like the signals I was sending to my legs to work weren't totally getting there. I went to get checked out and sure enough, there was a spinal cord tumor growing exactly where they had fused my spin back together (at T-11/12). The fusion pointed directly at the middle of this tumor.
I had a neurologist remove the tumor, and after all was said and done, I was told this mass was not actually a tumor but a pseudo-tumor caused by an injury. After the surgery, I had many problems. This thing was all entwined in my spinal cord at at that level, it has not started to branch out yet, so he had to pull the strands apart, and it messed up my GI system, and affected my rectal area as well as my right butt cheek and then my knees and below on both legs felt like pins and needles and my right foot basically felt like a stump. I eventually was able to walk, but it was tough. I went to PT and walked on a local walking trail and actually got up to 2 miles, but by the end of that, I felt my legs were like rubber. Nothing seemed to be getting better for me. I had awful headaches, lots of pain, which I was taking oxycontin/oxycodone (and have been on about 80mg per day since 2002) I have this inner tingling feeling (like pins and needles sort of) that goes deep into my gut, and it causes the sensation in my rectal area that makes me feel like my rectum is trying to turn itself inside out, or like I am really pushing to have a BM, but I am just standing/sitting/laying there relaxing otherwise, and it's almost like pure torture. Oh, the mass re-appeared in early 2003 and this time, they blasted it with low-dose radiation therapy which apparently killed the thing because it has not come back since, but after that radiaton treatment, I lost most of my leg strength, my libido was gone (I was 38 years old at the time) and I have suffered with this awful feeling ever since. I am unable to walk hardly at all anymore, and I just recently got my testosterone levels checked, and a normal of 400-700 (whatevers, I don't know what those numbers meant) but my number was 10.
I just started testosterone injections once a week, and I am very interested in the HGH part of your post. Do you think those would help me in any way? I have been sent to see an endocinologist, but I have learned over the years that doctors pretend to know more than they actually know, and I have been very disappointed in the level of competence of the doctors I have seen, and I live in Seattle, where they have the University of Washington Medical Center where I would think some of the best doctors would be, but they all scratch their heads and asses and can't seem to help me at all. I had to request to have my testosterone tested because I just felt like it might be low. I have no energy, I try to "workout" by walking with a walker, but I never seem to be able to make any gains, nothing like when I was in my playing days, and I was pretty much oblivious to pain. I dislocated my finger in one game, and I thought it was broken at first, and was going to come off the field, but when I saw it was just dislocated, I pulled on it and put it back in place myself, and finished the drive we were on before I saw a trainer on the sideline who just sprayed some cold something on it and taped it up and I kept on playing. Pain never affected me that much, but this pain, and this tingling feeling in my gut that affects my rectum is almost like torture. I take pain killers, but they just knock the edge off, and taking more pain killers never seems to make a difference.
I have noticed that Lyrica, that nerve medicine that they give to fibromyalgia patients seems to help a lot, so I take that, but I am hoping that if I can get my testosterone levels back up to a higher level and maybe trying the HGH route, it that wouldn't help me to get to where I could walk again, and maybe get back in the gym (even though I am 46 years old) and get some of my muscle mass back and get rid of this belly fat and I used to have a massive chest that now looks like I have haunches under my arms and it just hangs there, and I hate it.
I apologize about the long post, but I am 100% ignorant about HGH and I took testosterone only one time in my life, and that was for 3 months before I went to NFL training camp and it made me so focused and I was just able to concentrate and really focus and was very tenacious in the weight room and such, and I know it was the test I was using. I felt great for those 3 months and a few months afterwards. I also took dinabol which, I was told at mini-camp that all the NFL linemen were on something and I needed to get on it if I was going to compete with them, so that's when I did the 3 month thing. I never did it again. I just would like to find something that could help me with my chronic pain of 8-9 years that has brought me down to the lowest lows I have ever experienced.
I would love to find that "miracle" cure, but I realize that isn't likely, but I would like to try other areas than my doctors have been doing with me, and that's the PT and the psychology stuff which is ok and all, but just not effective at all, and I am tired of the stupid doctors that refuse to listen to what you tell them, they just make things up and go with what THEY know (which isn't much) and when it doesn't work, they just continue to re-try the same things all over again, changed up a little, and "DOH"....same results...go figure. I am having to start taking charge of myself and trying to do things for myself, and I have a doctor that will help me do almost anything if he thinks it will help me, so I am looking into HGH and getting my testosterone levels back up to a normal level.
I guess I am taking you up on your offer of "giving me tons of info" on the subject and to "feel free to contact you" on the subject. Anybody else that has anything to add I would appreciate the help so much. I am tired of the depression and the "feeling sorry for myself" I guess you could say. Since my issue is nerve related, I have always felt like there really isn't much you can do to make dead nerves "better" or partially dead nerves that cause tingling and pain and other things "better", but it sounds like if I could get my muscle building problem built back up, and my legs could at least get stronger to where I could stand longer than 3 or 4 minutes or walk further than 20-50 ft before my legs tired and wanted to just give out on me, and if I could get my cardio going again (I used to ride the stationary bike all the time to get my metabolism going and keep in shape). I don't have high BP, I don't have diabetes, my liver enzymes are perfect, as are all my other organs (my doctor tested). I do have high cholesterol that I am taking something for, but I don't eat right because I got to where I just didn't care anymore, but now, if I can find something to help me, I would love to get back to the gym and do some of my old workouts and maybe get my body back into some sort of decent shape. I sure would feel better, and if you noticed your Chronic pain was better, I would give anything for that.I realize I shouldn't get my hopes up too high, and I am trying not to, but this does sound promising from what I have read from different forums and such.

Went to the docs for bloodwork due to the interest of what my Test and HGH levels were. He called our pharmacy and was quoted $1600 per month for the HGH. The Test was $60 per vial that lasts more than a month, dosing once every other week. My Test level was at 283, which he said was in the lower half of normal for a man of my age. Can you offer any alternative to this pricey route, as only the Test is covered by insurance. mark

Exercise and the right blend of amino acids is the only other way to increase growth hormone!
Testosterone will be the cheapest route to take!!!

The doc also stated that Test is a naturally occuring human growth hormone. His work with hgh has been with juveniles. Any amino acids to recommend ? mark

If you really want to got the steroid and GH route then start looking around on line for a good source, You can buy HGH illegally through foreign sources for 3 or 4 hundred dollars for one hundred i.u.'s sometimes even cheaper. Pharmacies and rejuvenation clinics in the u.s. or elswhere are a complete rip off.

What's your opinion of the products at freakybig.com ~ Testanobol ? I wasn't planning on stacking. I just want to make the most of my limited function workout. I use the Vitaglide, but haven't lately. I just got a used manual chair to get under the machine w/o having to lower the armrests on my powerchair. That, and of course pushing my butt around. mark
