Cracky back and neck

[jaydee]

I have got hypogonadism and I also have a really cracky back and neck. Is this due to low testosterone or somthing else?

I had that aswell, its the joints, you need testosterone for joint health, mine started to hurt pretty soon after they started cracking, but when I started TRT it went away within 1-2 weeks, they still crack here and there but should completly cease soon, my neck also started to feel really stiff and it didnt feel safe to rotate it to look sideways or bend down very far.
if its not testosterone then it can be from sleeping on the couch, on ur stomach or on a foam matress.

Mine doesnt hurt really at all, its just cracks all the time. I think Mega had this too. I wonder what it is. I know my calcium is fine and my blood test show its fine too. Maybe its a case of its just not absorbing. Wouldnt that show on blood tests though?

Have you ever been to chiropractor role model? Or had manipulative physio where they crack your back or neck?

Yes I had this and doing gels made it real bad we did not know it was the gels until I went to shots of T every week and added HCG. Hell I was house bound of 4 yrs on androgel then testim my joints and muscles were so bad I could hardly walk. Even had an MRI on my back now it's all gone. Doing gels and creams for some men does not get the T to the joints and muscles to keep them healthy.

Intresting post. I have suffered this problem myself. I was curious to know how the bones, joints and ligiments absorb the T when taken by gel. It's more interesting that phil mentioned this went away on injections.

I guess if you are using HCG this T will goto the joints, bones, etc because it's coming from your own body?

Yes I have, and had decent success with it. Especially siatic nerve (spelling?) problems.

Role Model, the reason i ask is becuase I had no problems with cracking until I went to a chiropractor and now they crack all the time, ever since that day.

Phil, that is very interesting and somthing I will look out for. Its amazing what you can learn on these boards.
