Help! Numb hands and forearms.

[FishHead]

Hey guys. I've been doing SL 5x5 for 12 weeks. Also on 75mg Test Cyp, dosed subQ every 3.5 days (also about 12 weeks). Everything has been great until a few weeks ago. Hands and forearms started going numb. Hands feel tight. Worked through it for a while but it's starting to bother me. Bloodwork tomorrow. Any ideas on what's up? I was due for a break so took a week off for recovery. Partially numb all the time. Never goes away.

Dude, see a doctor. Test C will not cause this, and it sounds serious and probably not something bloodwork will 100% show. I'd get looked at for possible cervical nerve issues considering it's in both arms. Are you running hgh at all?

I agree. It's a nerve issue. No HGH. Degenerative disc and and spinal stenosis runs in the family. Could easily be a disc.
Was having some issues prior but didn't think it was serious. I assumed lack of conditioning since I hadn't worked out consistently in a while. I hit the weights hard and tried to push through. I think I made it worse. It started with my left hand going numb sometimes. As the lifting has gotten heavier and workouts harder, the numbness has moved into both hands and has become permanent. Definitely need to get it figured out. I was so stoked to get after it and complete some goals. Damn it! I'll call the doctor tomorrow.

Did you ever figure out what is going on? Currently having the same issue

 

[FishHead]

I did figure it out. I've had two surgeries this year. A disc replacement at c3/c4 (complete spinal compression) and a fusion at c6/c7. Surgeries were not bad. Not much pain or meds. Up walking and moving my head right after and only wore a neck brace for the ride home. I'm back to going hard and lifting again. Barely missed a beat. Test, Primo and HGH all through surgeries and recovery.

I might need the fusion at c 6 c7 , I thought u need a neck brace for weeks

My doctor didn't require me to wear one. Stayed home two weeks.
