Default Low Test=Sensitive to Pain,Pain Meds=Low Test

Article posted at other B/T forum how low test levels make our bodies more sensitive to pain. Pain meds cause our bodies to make less testosterone hence, pain meds are actually causing our bodies to be more sensitive to pain.

Either test replacement therapy or like I am going to try, go to the gym to naturally increase my test levels.

One thing I noticed the times I have worked out is, working out obviously increases my body's metabolism which means it's processing the opiods I took faster too.

I've seen HBO specials and such about people addicted to oxy and one thing I remember they all had in common. They all were extrememly sedetary and now that I think about it, it's a natural reaction to NOT do things to increase your metabolism. If you do, meds get in and out of your body quicker. I remember this one guy didn't want to do ANYTHING. All he did was lay around all day, said he couldn't work and stuff.

I'm trying to develop a plan to coordinate my pain meds and working out, knowing what I know. I am going to plan to work out right before my next dose is due. I figure my workout is gonna clear out whatever remaining opiods I have left in me and when I get home, take my next dose. Maybe wait an hour after I get home. Who knows? I'll play it by ear.
