Hey guys so I'll write this post out with 1) the symptoms, 2) my thoughts, 3) questions
"Symptoms: noticed slight puffiness in left chest. after first three weeks- Appeared swollen. Four days later- felt pain in left chest, almost a burning sensation and a sore sensation, lower part of breast was noticably bigger. Right side appeared unchanged. Around the same time, I noticed sharp pain in my shoulder. It felt like i pulled my muscle. Immediatly stopped taking medication. Pain persisted for days after. Where I would feel swelling and soreness on shoulder, neck, upper back, (and an occasional sharp stinging pain going down my arm to my hand. Around this time the left breast was puffy, but it did not hurt).
Blood tests showed that everything was fine: estrogen levels were normal and the ultrasound showed that there was slight inflammation in my left chest (under my armpit), but there were no lumps nor disks nor itchiness. Honestly, there is swelling around my entire upper body, but I'm convinced that it's fat tissue and not necessarily breast tissue. It's been a week since I stopped the medicine and while there's slight pain in my shoulder, there's not really any pain in my breast (slightly sore though). I'm in China, and I have no way of getting into see a Doctor in America so I'll post my questions below.
1) Are these symptoms of gyno?
2) Are these symptoms of an allergic reaction?
3. After pain decreases ( and if swelling in left breast subsides), can i apply finasteride again, but begin with lower doses?
4) If finasteride is not an option...
4.a) Can I take topical finasteride?
4.b) can I take dutesteride (topical or pill)?
4. c) If the lower doses appears to be working and i do not feel pain, but expereince slight puffiness in chest, can i take an anti-estrogen to counteract?
4.D) what is ru8841 and cb0301? Are these options?
5) It's been a week since i discontinued the finasteride and most of my pain is in my arm and shoulder. Are we sure that this is gynocomestia?
