Thread: Test to treat muscular atrophy after surgery?

I recently had reconstructive surgery on both knees and was immobilized in a cast for 8 weeks after. The procedure was an Osteotomy. After removing the cast i had bad atrophy in both legs and just lost alot of weight in general, id say about 15lbs. After talking to my docter i got a prescription for sus at 250mg a week. Sus was my choice as ive done two cycles in the past, both primoteston at 500mg per week and wasnt happy with test-e personally. At first i just looked at this as helping my rehab which i am a month into now and three months post op, but i began weight training again this month and started thinking i should just up it to 500mg E4D and get all i can from it. Will this jump even out my test levels that are probably off due to the sus only being once per week? Any opinions welcomed.

Thanks that makes alot of sense. What is considered an anabolic level of test? Yeah i did think of the extra weight on my knees slowing my recovery and possibly cuasing injury thats why i went with 250 a week and relatively low caloric intake. I think the 8 weeks in bed no work, not being able to play with my kids, train, or even get out of bed to go to the bathroom clouded my judgement. It would be great if i could recover slowly but i dont think the mortgage company would be so understanding. Since starting this cycle ive been able to put away the wheelchair and even the walker if not walking long distances. I am seeing small gains that have caused my knees to be more sore at night, but thats after walking around all day something i couldnt even think about 2-3 weeks ago.
