We are the same age and I am using TRT. Injections. I am a Prostate Cancer guy and had surgery 9 years ago. My Uro has agreed to let me start TRT. Have been on it for a year and love the results. Yep it is a bit of a pain to go to the Dr office for injection, 1X a month but the benefit out weights the trouble.

Good luck with the injections. By the way I get my T from a compound pharmacy.

I'm new to the shots only been on them for 6 weeks but so far I love the results. Plus from what I have read it should only get better. My dictor has me set up to do my injections at home every 2 weeks. And I can't complain about the price. A 12 week supply of the testosterone med my out of pocket is only $11.99. Not bad for 12 weeks. My out of pocket expense for the Androgel was averaging close to $300 a month. I had to pay about half the retail and the stuff didn't work. There is a big difference in the cost and even a bigger difference in the way it works. Bionic Rocketman.

I stated in an earlier comment on this thread I was stopping my T injections. That didn't last two weeks until I began to feel slowed up on libido and energy. Back on them now and my body feels as responsive as it did decades ago. I read once you're at optimum health when you can't feel your body. I'm there and functioning at a peak way beyond most guys my age. Energy, motivation, feeling stronger, more endurance, you name it and I'm experiencing it.

Will your doctor not let you self inject?

Glad things turned around for you. I have a few friends my age that simply refuse to check out the testosterone therapy. But they still say they can't believe that I keep up with my kids. I turned 68 in May and I missed the memo that said when you get older you have to get a rocking chair. As long as it's available I'll be on the shots for life. I can't think of much that gets better than a implant and shots together. What a powerful combination. Bionic Rocketman.

Larry, I asked my Dr about that he said he would rather I come in and have the nurse do it. There is almost no wait and it does not cost me anything. It is a 15 min drive for me inject and out the door. I will say it does give you pep in your step. :D

Radioradio Bob I had heard about the pellets and had a chance to check on them last week. I was advised to pass on the pellets. For what ever the reason they seem to have a high rate of infection. I was told that the infection rate was 25%. If thats true 1 in 4 is way to high for me. I'm glad to hear the gel is working for you. In the gel group for me the Testim 1% worked the best for me. But it is more expensive. Also the testim has a little smell to it and most women loved it. Over the years of using it I've had dozens of women ask me what I was wearing they wanted to buy it for their husbands or boyfriends. I don't get that response with the shots. Bionic Rocketman.
