Which is the disease that you get from taking hgh that gives you irreversible abnormal growth of bones?

Acromegaly: Acromegaly is what you are thinking of, which comes from pituitary tumors that make gh. Usually patients with acromegaly have had excess gh for many years before it is discovered. Although I am not aware of clinical acromegaly from hgh injections (you would have to take hgh a long time), you don't want to stimulate "growth" all over the body. Abnormal growth can lead to heart disease, cancer.
