pain in lymph glands

Post by Wellesley (imported) »

In the legs and groin?

I am on the injections of 125mgs each week. I was wondering if this is a side effect.

Also as I am posting here. Stupidish question but is it possible for the penis to "grow" while on TRT? Mine seems to have "grown" a quite a bit, or is that just because I have a little more T around than I used to?

Cheers

I've never experienced leg or groin pain from use of HRT, whether transdermal or injectable. And, yes, your junk can get a bit bigger, from exactly the reason you suspected - return to a more normal T level.

Pain is caused by swollen lymph nodes' pressing against nerves. Lymph nodes swell because of of the production of extra leukocytes. There are three causes for a step up in leukocyte production. The most common is to fight off an infection. Have you been self-injecting? Have you been careful about sterilizing the injection site? The other two causes are autoimmune reactions (such as being allergic to some of the injected substances) or relative over-production of white cells. All three should be checked out by a doctor.

No self injecting, going to the "happy" nurse every week at the local hospital.

I am having a lymph massage tomorrow, if I still have pain I will ask the uro for more testing. Apparently I am lacks with certain tests I should have had done around now (6 months on HRT after removal of the last testicle)

So I am supposed to get liver enzymes, CBC, hormone levels PSA and ???

Just an update,

I found out that it is not from the HRT

It is likely more from the surgery, I have had inguinal surgery twice now.

Apparently my last surgery was a little more traumatic than one would have wanted this I may have some kind of trauma to the pelvic lymph nodes
