BAD NEWS: Dr. says I TORE my tendons..........

[Biggeezie]

BAD NEWS:

Went to the Dr. and he said that I have torn 2 tendons that attach to the knee. One is just below the tear drop and on the oppostie side at the bottom of the knee.

I am waiting to get an Ultrasound to see how baldy they are torn but I am assuming that they are slightly ton because I know that it is not totally torn off.

Thing is I have just began taking HGH about 2 months ago and taking 4 I.U's per day and was wondering if I should up it to 5 I.U's or stick with 4 I.U's??

Any advice or recommendations you brothers have please feel free to mention them.


Thanks!!

My question is how exactly did you tear them?

Doesnt GH strengthen tendons?

 

[Biggeezie]

I tore them doing Incline Leg Press.

GH does strengthen tendons but I am just wondering how much to take to help with the speedy recovery.

Stay off of that knee until you make a full recovery. Im un-sure of an ideal hgh dose, hopefully it helps you out though.

Bro I feel your pain I just had a complete tear of my ACL (although a ligament) and a partial tear of my MCL operated on about 2 months ago. The doc used tendons from my hamstring to repair it, so I am without those as well. No heavy squats or leg presses for me for at least a year according to the doc.

Make sure you do everything possible to fix those tendons or they will be a nagging problem. I tore some tendons in my ankle about 5 years ago and did not get them operated on and my ankle swells all the time now. Talk with your doc and let him know you are an athlete and that you want to perform at 100%. They may operate on you at this point. I do know if they think that you are an average joe that they will not operate on tendon tears a lot of times. I would suggest seeing an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in athletes.
