Still here. Still slow.

- Does BPC-157 or TB-500 need to go right at the injury site to work
Following this, I've been wondering the same thing for my hamstring. Glad to hear systemic isn't a downgrade.

- Bicep tendinopathy 4 years in, nothing working, thinking hgh or trt next
Dealing with bicep tendinopathy going on 4 years now and it just will not fully clear. I've run bpc and tb500 together for long stretches, did 2mg ghk for probably a year total, all of it takes the edge off the pain but it never actually resolves. Labs came back low test and low E2 for me (22M) so I just started trt to get those optimized. Has anyone pushed through a long term stubborn tendon issue by adding hgh or by fixing hormones first? Trying to figure out if this is a loading problem I haven't solved or if my tissue just needs a different signal to actually remodel.

- BPC-157 or TB-500 for a severe calf strain before a tournament
Tore something in my calf yesterday playing soccer, felt it rip mid sprint and went down hard. Tournament is in 3-4 weeks and I really want to be able to play. I've never touched peptides before but I keep seeing BPC-157 and TB-500 mentioned for muscle tears specifically. Would it be smarter to run both together or just pick one. My connective tissue heals slow even on a good day so I'm a little panicked here. Anyone dealt with a calf strain this fresh and actually made a tournament deadline work?

- BPC-157 / TB-500 after labral repair, worth starting early?
How many weeks in before you'd even expect to notice a difference either way

- Does pushing bpc/tb dosage higher actually speed healing or is there a point where more isn't better
Has anyone actually compared 1000 vs 2000 head to head on the same injury though

- Insomnia and early waking after starting bpc-157/tb-500 post hip surgery
Appreciate this, going to give it another week before touching the timing. The improvement in the knee is real so I don't want to pull the plug too fast.

- Tracked a 21 day BPC/TB blend cycle for lower back and tailbone pain, schedule mattered more than dose
Did you feel anything different in week 1 or was it all week 2 onward? Trying to figure out when to judge if it's working for me.

Appreciate it everyone, will track this closely.

- Insomnia and early waking after starting bpc-157/tb-500 post hip surgery
Had a hip scope done three weeks ago and my surgeon had me start on bpc-157 and tb-500 about a week ago, 250mcg each, 5 on 2 off, dosed in the morning. Sleep was totally fine post op before I started. First night on the stack I had crazy vivid dreams, second night broken sleep, and now I'm waking up between 1 and 3am every night and can't get back down. I'm not sleeping more than 4 hours and it's starting to wear on me even though the meniscus repair site that's bugged me for years actually feels better and my energy during the day is up. Anyone else get this and did it settle down as your body adjusted, or is this a sign to back off the dose or move it to nighttime instead?

- Dosage and timeline for BPC-157 and TB-500 on an LCL sprain
Tweaked my LCL a few weeks back, this is on top of the patellar and hamstring stuff I've been dealing with for two years now. Doc confirmed a grade 1 sprain, PT is in the works but I want to stack BPC-157 and TB-500 to speed things along. Anyone run this combo on an LCL specifically? What did your dosing and run length look like and when did you actually start noticing a difference. Trying not to get my hopes up too high but also tired of just waiting around on this one.

- Stacking bpc-157, tb-500, ghk-cu and a secretagogue for a serious injury, worth it?
Does the GHK-Cu even do anything for actual tendon or is that mostly a skin thing that got borrowed into this space

- Where to pin for achilles tendinopathy when there's no skin to pinch near the tendon
Been reading through old threads but still stuck on this. My achilles is basically a bowstring right now, there's zero fat to pinch anywhere close to it and I keep hitting that little vein/nerve bundle near the ankle when I try. Is it actually worth doing thigh or belly subq instead, or does the whole point of local injection get lost if I'm not anywhere near the tendon itself? Trying to run BPC and TB-500 together and don't want to waste it by pinning wrong.

- Over a year of knee pain and cartilage damage, does bpc even help with this
Hurt my knee doing legs about 14 months ago, MRI showed cartilage damage and I have had daily inflammation since. Warm to the touch most nights, sharp pain on stairs, running and jumping are a joke at this point. I'm 32 but feel like I borrowed someone's 80 year old knee. I've done PT twice already and it helped some but plateaued hard. Has anyone actually gone from this kind of long term cartilage pain back to real activity using peptides, or is this just something I have to live with now. Getting pretty discouraged at the two year mark of this being on and off.

- BPC-157/TB-500 with Eliquis after a tibial plateau fracture, anyone dealt with this
Two weeks ago I went down hard on my bike and fractured my tibial plateau. No surgery needed thank god but I'm looking at 6-9 months recovery and can't even weight bear for the first 6 weeks. I've run peptides before for hamstring and patellar stuff so I started BPC-157 and TB-500 a few days after the break, figured it couldn't hurt. Everything seemed fine until today when they found a blood clot in my thigh. Now I'm on Eliquis for probably 3 months and freaking out a little. I can't find anything saying BPC or TB-500 interact with blood thinners but that's probably just because nobody's looked. Has anyone run these together with a thinner? And separately, does anyone have actual experience with BPC or TB-500 helping (or not helping) a fracture heal? Trying to figure out if I should just stop everything until the clot resolves.

- First US injectable BPC-157 RCT, anyone got details
Hoping this means better access eventually, been chasing this stuff for two years now.
