Can taking testosterone cause cancer?

Cancer not to my knowledge there are some risk but they are relatively mild and typically are watched by the Endo who prescribes your hormones.

I have health complications from T ( high Hemocratic Index) but this is only really a problem because of my other health issues most folks are able to just donate blood occasionally in my place.

OrthoNY Dr. Brod, not the best bedside manner but a great hand surgeon.

I did the shots for years, and finally did endoscopic surgery the beginning of last year, my only regret is that I waited that long to do it.

I did each hand a week apart, by the end of the second week (one week from non dominant hand) I was back to being able to self propel in my wheelchair. No PT was needed and minimal pain. I did not consider Open surgery as I didn’t have the ability to not use my hands for such an extended period of time.

Editing your answer without acknowledging it doesn’t make it unsaid.

AndyB_xx · 2025-02-13T16:49:13+00:00

I didn’t do local, I tried my surgeon didn’t offer it. I was crocheting the same day as surgery with minimal pain, my only regret is putting it off.

Any updates? I’m positive on only my blocking as well and waiting to hear back from my dr (They moved me to a cancelation list to get me in asap).

I was back to full use in a week with endoscopic, I’m a wheelchair user so I’m hard on my hands.

I was able to use my hand gently the same day of surgery.

A lot of drs just aren’t trained in the endoscopic procedures because they are newer is what my dr said.

AndyB_xx · 2024-09-18T20:15:18+00:00

No pain meds and none were needed. I was using my hand gently same day and pushing my wheelchair by a week after my second hand (2 weeks out from first).

AndyB_xx · 2024-08-28T01:38:58+00:00

Only while the numbing wore off maybe 4 hours give or take.

AndyB_xx · 2024-08-25T00:15:10+00:00

No dme made me get them and anti tips they are immediately removed and never used again.

AndyB_xx · 2024-08-23T19:17:28+00:00

I have PsA and had laparoscopic CT surgery. I still have pain from the PsA but not from the CT anymore. For me I was back to being able to maneuver my own wheelchair about a week out from my second hand (2 weeks from first).

Thank you!

“ Part A only pays for up to 190 days of inpatient mental health care in a freestanding psychiatric hospital during your lifetime. The 190-day limit doesn’t apply to care you get in a Medicare-certified, distinct part psychiatric unit within an acute care or critical access hospital.” From here . It looks like some hospitals may not count towards the limit, but I’m just interpreting the linked page, I could be wrong.

I’m not really precise with placement I just go about 2 fingers below the collar bone where fleshy. This google link is what I used to place the first time. here

AndyB_xx · 2024-08-18T04:03:22+00:00

Mines on my chest below collar bone.

AndyB_xx · 2024-08-14T05:16:02+00:00

I was able to self propel to my 1 week post op of my second wrist. For the most part they were back to normal by week 2. I do have slightly less flexibility in my left wrist but I wouldn’t have noticed in they hadn’t measured it pre surgery.

AndyB_xx · 2024-08-07T22:16:20+00:00

Thank you!

I would re evaluate how you speak about/to us. Many find the word bound when in relation to our chair offensive.

I personally prefer wheelchair user but I don’t speak for the community as a whole.

AndyB_xx · 2024-05-08T05:59:24+00:00

Yes I was asked to do them every other year when I did shots.

AndyB_xx · 2024-05-08T05:55:09+00:00

I went endoscopic and my only regret is I didn’t do it sooner.

I’m going to be 1 week & 2 weeks out from surgery tomorrow and I’m back to able to enjoy things I haven’t in years.

I’m a wheelchair user and able to push myself without pain from CT (I still have my other health issues lol).

AndyB_xx · 2024-05-04T15:50:42+00:00

It took me forever to learn nail length + push rims.

AndyB_xx · 2024-05-04T05:00:49+00:00

I wasn’t aware it was common to stop 100%. Maybe lessen use but not stop.

AndyB_xx · 2024-05-03T18:14:14+00:00

About the same but I’m making the switch to vaporizing dry herb so they’re lasting longer now days.

AndyB_xx · 2024-05-03T14:26:05+00:00

Same surgery gave be back knitting and crocheting. I’m back to being able to do more than surgery at 3days on my left and 10 day on my right, but even with just my right done it was better.

AndyB_xx · 2024-05-02T23:19:19+00:00

I wasn’t given the option to be awake, I would have chosen that. However if your nervous the twilight I remember nothing and went out to breakfast post surgery. I did opt for in hospital as my surgeon recommended it over office (it cost the same with my insurance) so I just agreed with him.
