Any one notice a lack of physical energy after surgery?
I am on E only (for the first time in 20 years) and dont have the same level of energy I did before.
I had blood tests done for E & T, the doctor says they are acceptable levels.

Surgery and healing takes a lot out of you.
Physically you may appear healed in perhaps 3 months but it will be at least 6 to 12 months before you body recovers its full stamina.
I presumed your doctor checked your red blood cell count. Was it lower?
Testosterone spurs on the bone marrow to produce blood cells.
With lower levels of T you may have fewer blood cells and anemia.
You should maybe get a CBC (Complete Blood Count) panel check to make sure you aren't anemic.
I did a CBC. HDL is elevated and Vitamin D is low.
I'll learn more at the doctors office next week.
