Genetics and Growth Hormones

I recently had a full AC shoulder reconstruction. As I play and participate in physical exercise, I trained heavily to recover and rebuid the muscle. Several collegues who play professional sport suggested that I take a course of HGH Jintropin.  I read up on the matter but could not get clear information that was not weighted one way or the other. I began a course but have stopped after 4 months of taking the injections of 4 iu 's daily. I noticed that recovery seemed swift and some other minor benefits. I am still concerned with any side affects that there may be or have been. I did experience some stiffnes in my joints. Can someon please give me a fair and concise explanation and the pro's and cons of this method of recovery and what I should be aware of. I appreciate that this is post the event however I feel that greater knowledge or follow and medical supervision would be extremely valuable.

sorry i dont know how to edit but i meant that it should already be cleared from your body (last sentence on the previous post)
if it has been a couple weeks.

so there wont be any continuing effects from your prior GH use.

hey
a side effect of GH use MAY be carpal tunnel syndrome.
However this side effect is quite rare especially at the dosages you used.

Ask your doctor.
However i doubt there will be any residual side effects because of the fact that GH has a fast clearance rate from your body (short half life).
