sup doggies,
Idk if this is the right place for this post, if not, mods, can you please move this to the right part of the board?
so, I've been dealing with a long term (right around 5 years) injury in my knee. it was diagnosed as a torn meniscus about 2 years ago, but I think there is more going on in it than that. 20+ years of active wear and tear on it leads me to believe I may have some cartilage damage along with damage to my medial meniscus.
I do not think my acl, mcl, or pcl is torn. I do not have determinantal instability in it, it does not lock up, and when I am not active in my sport (skateboarding) I only have issues in it sporadically. these issues are in my right knee, which is my lead leg when skating (shout out goofy footers.) I'll have 3 good weeks out of 4 in a month, but I will admit, if I even turn or pivot on it wrong, the inside of my knee and into my thigh swells up pretty badly. I am so used to the, "pain," that it doesn't even feel like pain anymore.
BPC-157 has been said to work miracles, and it is amazing for ligament repair. I am not in a position to get surgery (although I, and my old osteo doctor, feel like I need it,) and have been researching absolutely everything I can to heal my knee naturally. PT and exercise has not worked so far.
has anyone used BPC-157 for sports repair injury? has anyone used BPC-157 for other reasons? what was your experience like? is it something you take consistently or would it be considered more of a, "cycle?"
any and all information and anecdotes would be truly appreciated. if you have other suggestions, I will happily listen! I haven't been able to REALLY skate in close to two years now, and it is something I have done basically my whole life.
thanks!
