Hi everyone I'm new here...well I've been reading this for 5 months now....anyways I'm in California very athletic, previous out of state firefighter, linebacker in hs and small college.Tore my right patella tendon 8/21/16.....due to insurance issues and a Dr that randomly retired on me, an er that didn't tell me anything and 3 weeks between each step to see a Dr(3 total), get an MRI, and see a specialist; I finay got surgery 1/31/17.I was walking around and trying to workout this whole time (5 months) but couldn't bend the leg much. I was weight bearing the day after surgery and now am 22 days post op. The surgery hurt less then the injury and the time after it pre op so that's not an issue. I know I'm gonna be fine when this is all said and done thanks to all you ppl who blogged here but I am also trying something nobody here spoke about. A peptide named "BPC 157".....this is the first time I have ever done anything like this. I have a detailed log but basically I inject 300mcg 3x a day(started 2 days prior to surgery) directly near the knee...I'm doing both knees and can tell u it does feel to be working. I didn't have stitches for my wound but it was completely closed up at 2 weeks. I did a lot of research during those months of being debillated and stumbled upon this in bodybuilding forums and what not. I'm also doing acupuncture (began 2nd week) and it does make a difference also as far as feeling circulation.... Also I use " dit da jow" to increase circulation on my own and I do feel warmth at my toes that ankle pumps don't do. Ps peptides are legal for research at least in the states. Anyways I'm still in the leg immobilizer for 4 weeks and begin pt 3/3/17.....I don't know if I'll get a hinged brace due to insurance but we'll see what happens. I just wanted to inform everyone of other trains of thought(TCM) and hope everyone is doing fine. Positive vibes !!Sorry for the horrid typing I'm using a small tablet lol
Hey bizzybank I've heard good things about tb500 but I never got around to trying it. As far as the 157 went for me I do believe it did give me an added push to recover a bit especially during the initial post op trauma. Right now I'm actually doing 2 other peptides which are supposed to help by releasing your own stores of naturally occurring Growth hormone. The peptides are (ghrp2 and mod-grf 1-29). I'm not sure if it's helping but it sure can't be hurting. I'm bending pretty good and my leg is starting to get some muscle and definition back. Have you done anything else for your injury besides that??
