    One thing that has to be understood about any medical procedure or practice is that there are virtually no two people who will react the same way after the fact.
    One more or less neurotransmitter, muscle fiber, meniscus nick or tear, fracture, thresholds of pain are all different from one person to another. No two bones will break or heal the same and not even a hang nail will be exactly the same from one person to another.
    The recommended procedures in solving the problems might be the same but the reaction to those procedures will always be different.

    Plain and simple, we can try to compare notes about procedures but each person is going to have a different prospective about it.
    My goodness, even listening to 2, 3 or more women comparing notes about childbirth is enough show us how different we all really are.

    However, if a person says that a certain medical practitioner is a hack and that can be backed up by comparing notes, that’s a different story entirely.

    There is an accepted limit to many procedures including the steroid injections. If an unscrupulous practitioner violates those norms, he/she could be sued for malpractice should there be consequences.

    Thinking back over the years I had 2 scripts for Epidurals in my spine and dragged my feet and could NOT do the Epidurals.....I have a block about being injected in general. j m

    I have to admit that I’m prett much the same way.

    I’ve been in the ring, wounded in battle, jumped many times from various aircraft, fell off a three story beam and it doesn’t bother me but mention a needle and I get crazy nervous.

    To be sure, that would be synthetic GH and not HGH.
    Actual Human Growth Hormone is only approved by prescription, is injectable and normally only prescribed for conditions related to HIV.
    Any other uses are illegal in the U.S.

    The bottle or jar may say HGH but it is supposedly a hormone booster and not the actual human hormone the effects of which is a mixed bag of yea’s and nay’s.
    There are many products that say one thing on the label but mean something totally different. e.g. I used to take a supplement that said “Nitric Oxide” on the label but was actually L-Arginine, an essential amino acid that helps with the production of nitric oxide.
    Now I just take generic L-Arginine which does the same job but isn’t as expensive.

    I have been using a Homeopathic HGH Gel for about 3 yrs now, my daughter sells it and she uses it of course.

    Many yrs ago an MD attempted to sell me on HGH shots at $300 a month back then and I would NOT go for them.... The HGH homeopathic gel has been a great benefit in my life, I believe.

    If I didn't struggle with all the hip replacement damage it makes me wonder how I would feel today with all I do and the HGH gel.

    I didn’t write that a pendulum was an ouija board. I wrote that you should get a second opinion from one.
    From my understanding, a magic 8 ball gives sound advice too.

    I have wanted a magic 8 ball for a while. But a quarter works.
