Thanks for all your help
Hi Marvel,
Just to Clarify, you’re going down the HT/RT route and not been given HT whilst waiting in surgery?
Assuming you’re going down the RT route, you’ll probably be getting your first jab in 2 weeks time, the tablets you’ve been given are just to prevent testosterone flare when you get your first jab.
If there’s one piece of advice I would give is to keep as active as possible and work your muscles whilst on HT. If you’re not a gym goer buy yourself some resistance bands…theres a multitude of exercises you can do with them and they cost pennies. Any weight bearing exercise is good, walking very good and swimming good for easing aching joints and keeping you mobile.
Hopefully you’ll be one of the lucky ones and not have severe side effects.
Good luck!
Derek
