Nebido and joint pain

[JustSomeBloke]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here who's taken nebido has ever experienced, or heard of others on it, getting joint pain as a side effect? I've been getting steadily more pain in my hands and feet over the last year or so (hard to recall how long exactly, or even vaguely) and when I finally saw a physio about it she suggested that it might be a side effect from nebido. I hadn't even considered that it could be a side effect from one of my medicines but apparently cis-women on hrt can get joint pain and when she checked the possible side effects for nebido it was on the list so I was wondering if it's something that's been noted as being 'a thing' amongst trans people and thus likely to be the cause of my pain. I switched from sustanon to nebido in early 2019 so the timeline does roughly fit if it took several months for my joints to start feeling it.

I have checked a couple of drug encyclopedias and cannot find the drug you are talking about so I cannot help you, although if your pharmacist / chemist has literature that says it is a side effect of the drug in Cis women, I would take their word for it.  Maybe it has another name over here in the U.S.

It's a testosterone booster. Some common brand names are Andriol and Aveed.

 

Common side effects are pain at the injection site.

 

Rare side-effects can include chest pain.

 

I'd definitely talk to your endo about this. They may need to put you on something else if you're getting severe joint pain.

 

Hugs!
