TweetThoughts on being "on" and going under the "knife", specifically for a knee surgery to fix a torn ACL - any possible negative sides associated??? Let's hear your opinions... good, bad, indifferent???

TweetA blood thining. A high red blood cell count which if you are over 40 and over 50 it really applies that you are at higher risk for stroke and MI (heart attack). The increased red blood cell count causes a log jam... for a lack of a better term.

I've heard of the blood thinning effects and how it can decrease blood clotting times... Never heard of the possibility of stroke or MI associated with gear use...

TweetBump to this post!!! I think this is a good question...do u guys think he should just tell the doc about being on AAS so that he could take the proper precautions...or what???

[firstenrgy]

TweetI should have worded it more correctly. AAS will cause a thining effect that mostly effects clotting like as if you were shaving, it would bleed more than usual. The increased red blood cell count from AAS will cause a log jam in an artery that is partialy blocked by plaque causing an MI.

Tweetive had 2 shoulder surgeries a disk fusion and a hand surgery and i was on everyt ime. i stopped say 1-2 weeks before surgery. and ive never had any complications before. i'm sure IG if you have surgery go off 1-2 weeks before you will be fine.

TweetI was on a stout hrt regime while i had a knee surgery...and many others, lol. Wouldnt dose that high, but dont worry

[Dzone]

Tweethave done it and no problem, but I am leary of telling any MD because most of them will freak out and think you are the equal of a crack head. Sad but true, but it might be best if they know what all youre on. Best of luck to you!

Tweetsome of them will look at you in a bad light but some like my doc are clueless except for what they see in the media. she told me i don't need to use them, i'm already big enough....why do you think that is doc??? says the only thing aas will do is make super sperm??wtf lol. although she did know that the adex i was on was what was trashing my good hdl cholesterol.
