Testosterone

[pinkbunies 359]

I was wondering if any guys get testosterone shots after surgery?

I've been getting them to help me keep my muscles built and so far its working out great. I have insurance so its no cost to me but cash pay runs around $225.00 each shot. I go once a week and get an injection.

If you have insurance there are testosterone pellets called testopel. You don't have to go every week. I thinks it like once every 8 weeks. I am not a male but I work for a urologist. Quite convenient.

hmm. I'll look into that. The sad thing for me is I'll love my insurance at the end of the year. I've been paying $171.00 a month with a $1000.00 deductible. I got a notice last month telling me that BCBS will no longer offer this plan. A new plan is around $463.00 a month. I hate the thought of going to a higher deductible. I might just forgo insurance altogether and pay the small penalty.

I am a medical biller and this new insurance is a nightmare. I feel so bad for the patients who pay a high premium for a policy that has high deductibles! Can't win for losing. I think overall the cost of the weekly injections add up to about the same as the Testopel does just a lump sum for eight weeks instead of the weekly payments. Good luck to you!

I got my primary care doc to prescribe T and the sharps to inject at home. I can also do it weekly with lower doses to minimize spikes. Much cheaper option for self pay. Here's how easy it is to do:
