Anyone had success regaining muscle strength with low testosterone?
I had Lupron and radiation treatment for Gleason 7 prostate cancer,
PSA is now <0.04. But my testosterone level is 157. Very very low. And my GP says that there's not much I can do to recover the level. I will be 78 soon.
I am seriously fatigued. I have lost muscle mass. My fitness level is very low. I get exhausted very very easily.
Has anyone had success regaining muscle strength and fitness with very low testosterone levels?

My lupron protocol wellness program is centered around riding a recumbent bike. This an awesome way to keep your head in the game. I call it "the sick man's lazy ride." You can get outside and get a cardio workout that is much more doable than a conventional bike due to there being less strain on the upper body. When going downhill, and even on the flats with a tailwind, I can unclip one foot from the pedal and literally relax as though I were sitting on the couch.
