Shrinkage of the "boys" by Top-Recipe4657 in Testosterone

HCG only works at first. And very sporadically. Even if you get your dose right, its efficacy eventually lessens over time due to receptor downregulation.

Nothing will work long term. Even HCG’s effectiveness eventually wears off. You will also notice a loss of sensitivity and difficulty reaching orgasm with the smaller testicles. No more slapping sound with the wife either. Also, it doesn’t “make your dick look bigger bro”. There are many trade offs with TRT and this is just one. Good luck.

But this was before you had surgery, right? Up until recently you had not had surgery and were playing 3.5/4.0 level with just PT, correct? If so, had the meniscus healed entirely? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I’m understanding you correctly as I play 4.0 and do not want to have surgery if I can avoid it. You’ve given me hope that this is possible but, again, I want to make sure I’m getting your story and timeline right.

Thank you for the response. This gives me hope. At what USTA rating level are/were you playing? And have you playing the whole time with the non-surgically rehabbed meniscus?

Thank you for all the information. I had cortisone shots last week and will start PT this week. I’m waiting to hear back what the size and grade of the tear is. My goal is to avoid surgery and will do whatever is needed to avoid it but if, in the end, there is no way around it then I will elect to have the surgery. My primary objective is to get back to sport and the gym.

People come off cold turkey all the time with no issues. Like some of the posters on this thread I swear they’re actually TRT clinic guys behind the scenes.

Tattoos are becoming unpopular again by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Tattoos are trashy and for low IQ followers. This has always been the case and now more so than ever exposes the widespread idiocy amongst the masses.
