So at 51 years old now and in the gym powerlifting since age 15, the years of abuse are really coming home to roost so to speak. I've struggled with knee issues over the past decade, for which I have used BPC157 with success to recover from the worst spells. Meaning, I know I will never be young again but BPC made my knees feel as good as I could realistically wish them to feel. However for the past 3 months I've been struggling with a knee and shoulder issue that would not go away. I've had to quit running my 1-3 miles a day completely, I've had to skip a few of my weekly leg days, and it was still getting progressively worse with quite a bit of swelling. This past week is another week I had to sit out a leg workout because of the level of swelling restricting my range of motion. For my shoulder, I had a nagging issue that would not go away for at least a month until progressing to the point that I had to take two months off completely because of the pain. I went back in thinking I was okay, but three weeks later I was one day post shoulder workout and I had the worst shoulder pain I had ever felt in my life, and could not even pick my arm up from my side without feeling extreme pain. I basically walked around looking like my right arm should be in a sling.
Enter TB500. It arrived to me last Thursday, so six days ago as of this writing. My shoulder injury happened last friday, so five days ago, and one day into my use of my TB500. I know that research shows TB500 to be a systemic peptide, however I have also read some good points as to why you should inject localized to the injury instead of taking a shoot in the hip for systemic results approach. So since everything was imploding for me once I received it, I decided to go with 500mcg shot once daily into my knee, hip, and shoulder = 1.5mg per day.
As for the results - After looking like a grapefruit last Saturday following a 5 mile hike, 90% of the swelling in my knee is gone, and I have zero pain. This is the least amount of swelling I have had in the past month. In my shoulder I have absolutely zero pain for the first time in three months, full range of motion, and plan on going back to the gym today for the first time since last Friday's injury. This is like absolutely freaking unbelievable.
Tomorrow I plan to switch to 1mg a day shot into hip and keep that up for the rest of the month. I might shorten it if I'm feeling really good, or I might go back to same localized shot protocol I have used the past week if things slide backwards. The rest of the month will also tell if I have really recovered from the injuries, or maybe I had basically a superficial feeling of improvement from taking the shots. Time will tell, and as I have more to tell I will come back and post it in here. But for right now I'm just thrilled AF that I am headed to the gym today after almost a week off, and not even heading there in any pain.
