Tendonitis & TRT question

[srch4info]

Guys,

Is their any correlation to the flame-up of an old tennis elbow injury and my recent TRT? My elbow is killing me and I think it has been hurting for around the same amount of time as my TRT.

I feel my TRT regimen has helped my body's ability to recover from heavy workouts I do every week including the tendonitis that flared up in the past. Right now it is completely under control, and not bothering me. There are certain supps that work to help too, incl. alfalfa tablets, manganese and vitammin B-12.

A possible factor in TRT contributing to joint pain is the estrogen level. TRT in some cases results in lower estrogen activity (e.g. lower estradiol level - resulting from weight loss, DHT inhibiting aromatase), resulting in joint pain.

Evidence includes: Studies that link estrogen depletion in menopause and a higher incidence of joint pain, or "menopausal arthritis". Studies which show Aromatase inhibitors are associated with higher rates of joint pain than placebo.
