Suggest Treatment For Testicular Pain And Muscle Cramps

30 y.o. w/m, no past HX, 6 4 - 280lbs. I ve taken testosterone cypionate IM over a course of 8 weeks, 250mg every 4 days for performance experimentation. First time user of drug. Upon completion of week 8 I experience hospitalization for hypertension crisis, 220/140. Full cardiac workup once labatelol brought BP down. No issues with heart or CT of head. During post 4 weeks after last injection I ve experienced severe muscle weakness, faciculations, and cramping, testicular atrophy, indigestion causing 20lbs weight loss over four weeks, and tingling on scalp. At end of week four, testicular pain occured, followed by drooping of scrotum and testes, significant drooping . Blood panels read WNL on K+. Unknown on hormone levels. Major concern is testicular changes, and muscle cramping / tremors. Will my body recover soon?

Hi,Good Morning,Thanks for your query to My-HCM Clinic.I studied your query in depth.I understood your concerns.
-You had severe hypercatabolic side effect of high testosterone therapy.Whether it was taken under cover of doctor?not -it seems.
-Time to Recovery-For recovery it may take atleast 2-3 mths time with stress on rest,good diet,plenty of vegies and liquids along with it.
-Testicular pain-is due to the scrotal muscle wasting straining the neuro-vascular bundle of the spermatic cord.
-Scrotal support would reduce the pain in testes in this case.
-Muscle cramps is due to hypokalemic and hypovolemic state after high un-tolerated dosage cycle of testosterone.-Banana Shakes 2-3 times a day/ Spincach soup twice a day, pineapple juice 2 times a day.
-High Protein Bland Diet.
-Plenty of fluids.
-Testicular atrophy is secondary to high testosterone treatment.
-Vit-d-3 with Calcium supplements - is-important supplement-as the bone-density loss needs to be recovered.
Hope this would help to recover from the testosterone hyperdosage problem.Wish you a Fast Recovey.Wellcome to HCM again.
