InterArticular GH/IGF-1 Injection

Hey all,

I know there are numerous experts here on the board that have alot of experience with various peptides. I have right knee issues that come from an old hockey injury, had patellar reattachment surgery about four years ago and it helped alot, but it was never been 100% again. Long story short, I am having alot of problems with it, lots of pain, knee is really loose and unstable, I have seen my orthopedic surgeon and he is what I would call a big medicine doctor, surgery, cortizone and you shouldn't expect the same thing out of it ever again.

I have read about lots of athletes getting plasma injections into their knees to provide nutrient rich material for the knee to repair itself, that is supposed to be highly effective and it strengthens the knee. Also, I know physicians have been injecting 15-45 ius of gh interarticularly into the joint and have been seeing great success with regeneration of cartilage and strengthening of tendons. Has anyone ever done any interarticular injections with either gh or igf-1? What do you guys think about this? My doctor refused to do it even though I provided several studies from PubMed that demonstrate the efficacy of the practice, like I said, he is big medicine and wants to make money, so he suggested more surgery. Let me know what you guys think, I really need to get my knee back to normal, healthy again, I mean I am only 29, this is crazy, I should be bouncing around no problem...

I have heard of dentist using GH-soaked strips of cloth to lay in the mouth of surgery patients to cause a very rapid healing of gum tissue as well.

As for IGF-1, I have heard there is a point where tissue like cartilage, can only heal so fast. And that IGF-1 did not make it heal any faster than GH. However, the IGF-1 was said to make it heal further than what the GH alone could do. To use GH to heal it as far as it could, then to switch over to the IGF-1 to further regenerate cartilage.

Hey Trenman,

How would you use IGF-1 to heal my knee. Would you inject into the knee itself or into the heads of the quadriceps and into the hamstring.
