Chronic tendon damage - correct peptide?
-
Hi,
I’m completely new to this, I’ve suffered from chronic tendon pain for many years now it’s not going away anytime soon, I’m from the UK and the only thing I’ve been offered are PRP and dry needling treatments. I am awaiting the PRP treatment because I see it as fairly risk free, but heard about the results from peptides on tendon repair. I’m hoping someone here can provide some more information, experience, similar results?
At this stage I think I’m willing to try some peptides, I hear bpc 157 is the one I should be going for but would be curious if there’s anything out there.
At this moment because the lack of study, I’m hoping someone who has similar arm tendon pain can tell if any of these worked, how fast it heals etc.
Thank you!

DeadPool Blend: BPC-157/TB-500/Cartalax is what you're looking for 🫡

Not sure how things work in the UK but is it easy have your doctor order an MRI?
PRP has decent research/trials behind it so that would be my first option. I've had PRP done on both my shoulders due to a posterior labrum tears. I still push heavy shoulder presses with no issue.
Unfortunately no one has MRI imaging of a tendor tear before and after BPI/TB. That would be gold!

@dontfyourlife that’s interesting, I have had an MRI and my doctor detected white areas in the scan that show where the tendons are damaged. So I will be going through with the PRP when it’s available.
Did PRP help you, and how long did it take?
Have you used any peptides on your shoulder and what was your experience with that?
Thank you!

I had both shoulders done- recovery was a week off from the gym (walking/legs only). Then incorporated very light lifting for 2 weeks out of paranoia!
Haven't tried any peptides for healing yet. Currently just Tesamorelin.
One very important thing to note- make sure your doctor uses a ultrasound guided injection. Meaning they see where they are injecting for accuracy.
Here is a link with an explanation and research studies comparing the 2 methods.
