This might be long and poorly worded cause i'm not great at the English language but I need some help, I've been on T for 1 year & 7 months. I was on gel for about 9 months and now I am on Nebido, once every 3 month injection. My last injection was near the end of October. for the last couple of weeks I have had extreme pain in my knee. it's stiff, hard to move, sensitive to cold and just a pain in the butt. I saw my doctor briefly and quickly mentioned it, she said it's something to do with the T, cause it's a growth hormone it's effecting the ligament laxity around the knee. she didn't go into too much detail, and what she did tell me I wasn't able to fully understand. I've been trying to do some research by myself but haven't found much to do with either joint pain and T nor joint laxity. I was wondering if there was anyone else who has had something similar and could explain it more in laymans terms, or if maybe my doctor was wrong and it's something else. (I trust the fact she's a doctor, it's just cause this isn't her specialty she might be confusing it with something else) any help would me so much appreciated cause this pain is just getting annoying now especially not knowing what's causing it, if I can do anything, if I can exercise etc etc.
Thanks :)
Thanks :)

I have not experienced any kind of joint pain. You could check out people's responses in this thread, there is a question there about joint issues:
