IGF-1 effects on scar tissue??? The search feature leave me high and dry!

[ddude]

Hi All!

I recently tore my pec (partial tear, apparently not a bad tear so says the sports physio doc but tell that to my pec) and am trying to do all the dang research I can.

When I first tore my pec I was really getting into more of the meat about IGF-1 LR3 and it's magical abilities. I ordered 1000mcg ASAP after my injury and got on the IGF-1 band wagon. The idea of new cell formation as well as healing injuries sounded like what I needed to lessen the damage.

roughly 4 weeks after I finished my IGF-1 my cycle of Test/Deca finally arrived. I got on that both because I had planned that cycle before the injury and because I thought it would be a muscle healing cocktail. I am now 4 weeks into that cycle.

The injury was roughly 10 weeks ago.

I want to finish this cycle then jump back on the IGF during my post cycle. Except after the initial IGF-1 use I noticed I had more scar tissue than I thought.

I want to know if IGF-1 LR3 will help the scar tissue or make things worse? I can find fantastic studies on healing tendonitis, and rats being all muscular, but nothing to fantastic about IGF-1 and scar tissue. Any insight would be awesome!!!

Really? No one's got anything for me?... BUMP!

Your physo should be able to help and advice regards your scar tissue, I don't think IGF would cause that much scar tissue anyway.

If you want to use your IGF to help heal your injury. What I would do is inject half your daily dose on both sides of your injury, half into the injured pec(not into the tear) and half into the front delt.

I'm already lined up for deep tissue massage to help the scar tissue and have a whole slew of exercises and stretches for my pec. I just don't want the IGF to make any of the scar tissue worse.

As for injecting, great idea to split the shots on the injured side to all surrounding muscles, front delt, and I am thinking upper bi as well as when i first injured it there must have been some irritation at least to the tendon. This is also going to be during a PCT, so i'll be doing bi-laterally post workout muscles. But giving extra care to my injury.

I'm confidant I can help the scar tissue I just don't want to be defeating myself by having the IGF spur on more scar tissue.

Thanks for the advice!

Talk to you physo about ultrasound treatment.

.

the new ultrasounds are totally awesome for scar tissue breakdown..

i think also that lipostabil ? might be of some use for breaking scar tissue down..

i however cannot get the ultrasound where i need it the most as it conflicts with the metal implants in my ankle..

heats those fuckers up ....
