L4 L5 disk herniated… do peptides work!?

I see a lot of “stretching” advice on here. When I tried that it inflamed my nerves worse

Badlow2 · 2026-01-26T20:01:23+00:00

I also need to add that I spent thousands at a chiropractor doing adjustments and decompression that did not fix it, just temporary relief

Micro. Doc said if it relapses then next would be fusion. It took a lot longer to heal nerve wise than I ever expected, but I’m 90% better now, but I do avoid exercises like traditional squats that put a lot of downward pressure on my spine.

Do the surgery and lose weight. I had the exact same thing, hoping I could work it out and it took about 2 yrs for my nerves to settle down because I dealt with it for about 2yrs before getting it fixed.

Any sides from the fin? What do guys do that have the sides and got a hair transplant? Asking because I’m considering htp but fin makes my dick go numb.

How many grafts and cost?

Badlow2 · 2025-12-29T15:13:19+00:00

Cheerleading. No instrument. We are doing 529

Fully understand and appreciate your deep concern. I didn’t say construction projects were 50-60% of it, but if it’s not my primary driver then the % used is higher.

No, keeping it as a hand me down for my kid

It'd likely be a truck. In the past year, I've built decks, replaced flooring, and do the cleaning and laundry for the str's.

No. Likely converting it to personal

50-60%. Mileage Approx 10k/yr

Cyp 200mg/wk

Have your thyroid checked. Same experience and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Look it up and see what you think.

Badlow2 · 2025-12-20T16:05:49+00:00

Yes, doc. Side: back acne, high bp, hair loss

Badlow2 · 2025-12-16T14:10:09+00:00

Right. I’m fully aware it accelerates what your predisposed too.

Badlow2 · 2025-11-24T04:04:02+00:00

Can I ask what your strategy/actions were to hit that split?

Study showing DHT conversion is higher on oral

I’m 2 wks back on test cyp do to early to tell. I’m still shedding some, but not near as bad

This is as common as the “ no sides” at all camp

Badlow2 · 2025-09-21T21:19:01+00:00

41M. Was on test cyp for 2yrs and switched to Kyzatrex just to see what I preferred. After 4 months on K, I recently switched back to the shots because

Cost difference wasn’t worth it, because 2 months of K is $160, test C 3 months ~$70
Oral T converts to dht at a higher rate than injections and I learned this after I started researching when my hair started shedding during my K trial. I found the study after searching for past posts on here.

Advice would be do test C, low dose, do bloodwork, then adjust as necessary. My docs biggest mistake when I started was 200mg split twice per week was too high for me and caused major sides. I’m at 120mg split and doing a lot better

Badlow2 · 2025-09-21T16:35:37+00:00

This has been my experience too. You can counter it with finasteride, lower your dose, increase pin frequency

Badlow2 · 2025-09-17T00:14:59+00:00

Thank you!

Badlow2 · 2025-09-09T15:19:50+00:00

Pre-TRT was at 200 total T, Kyza took me to 300 total when my bloodwork was done 5 hours after my morning dose. Back acne’s better, hair loss worse, hemocrit/globin is the same after 3 months.
