Testosterone levels

Saw my Dr.(Primary Care) and got my lab results Friday. I demanded free testosterone level lab work, and he says it is in the normal range and refused to discuss it further, saying the side effects of testosterone therapy were serious and most Dr's won't do it anymore. My level is 53.6 PG/ML "Calculated" (whatever that means). What I have found says normal is 47 - 244 PG/ML. I think mine is really on the low side, I'm going to find a urologist to discuss this, and injections for now. Experiences? Thoughts? Appreciate it.

I’m on T replacement therapy. Yes there are some problems with T injections. I need to give blood at the blood bank every month. My Red Cell count is a bit high. That keeps it in the correct range.

In my case I’m a Prostate Can er guy and had surgery. The old theory is that T could cause a reoccurrence.

On the other hand, I love being on T. I feel and have energy like 10 years ago.

Hope that helps.
