Started this 5 days ago for a shoulder injury I’ve dealt with for years and wow… my rotator cuff pain is way down, I’m sleeping through the night, and my workouts are better since I’m not constantly feeling that shoulder pain.

As much as I agree with you that injectable is the way to go with BPC-157…I have to argue that “sometimes” the oral do the job. I got in a bad head on collision and totaled my car. I injured my left rotator cuff, and damaged the ulnar nerve in my right arm/hand. The VA sent me to physical and occupational therapy(and did accupuncture for months) for 7 months. It did nothing for my right thumb, hand grip and I couldn’t even wiggle my pinky. I tried oral BPC-157(w/arginine) from PureRawz(called “Restore”. It fixed my pinky in 4 days and my thumb(and grip strength) slowly but surely. But it took the Wolverine stack injection to fix my shoulder. Now I’m doing military press and incline bench at the gym. Now I’m on Reta(1 month so far) and I have MOTS-C but I’m still researching before I pull the trigger.

Got to say didnt believe this my rotator cuff as been fucked for 2 yrs from heavey flat benching couldnt do it in the end to much pain. Started jabbing bpc157 inflammation went within day had 9 days in ibiza did a bit of swimming came home shoulder felt class.

Hi mate, I used it in tablet form (not used to needles and sounds complicated mixing it) and I feel it helped on a Rotator Cuff injury I had been trying to get over for 6 months - I get regular achillies injuries (tendinopathy) have you seen it used as a preventative and any reviews on any BPC-157 not in injecting form, or should i just suck it up and try to inject? Thanks J

I have been using BPC-157 and TB-500 (nasal spray and capsules) off and on for the last 4 months for tendon and rotator cup damage. The BPC-157 worked very fast to reduce the pain and my physiotherapist says the damage is healing very quickly. I now have full range of motion with only a bit of soreness. I am very satisfied with the results. I have just finished 20 days of Epitalon. This is the first time I have used this peptide. I will do another round of it in 3 or 4 months. Eventually I will only use it twice a year. The next peptide I try will be GHK-cu.

I had bad knee pain for the past year. Felt a little pop right next to my right knee cap when I squatted down one day caused the pain. Very painful to do leg workouts anytime quads involved. 3 months on 500mcg per day and now my knee is at LEAST 95% better! Absolutely amazing! Also fixed a long lingering rotor cuff pain.

I took BPC-157 from LRA labs sub-q. I also tried it orally from InfiniWell. It did not seem to do much for me. However while I was taking my oral dose of the BPC-157 I started taking TB-500 Sub-q at night by Biotech Peptides and I felt a difference the very next day. My back was hurting so bad that I had to crawl to the kitchen and Stretch for an hour just to be able to stand up every morning. Also both my rotator cups were hurting as well as golfers elbow. Also the pain is gone in those areas as well . I would say I am 95% better. To be fair I have not tried BPC-157 from Biotech Peptides. So I can not say why the other brand do not work on me, this was just my personal experience. I am only naming names so that it can be compared and maybe help others. In my opinion The TB-500 has been a miracle.

one thing this video doesn't fully get into but is worth knowing, the BPC + TB-500 blend works partly because they target different stages of tissue repair. BPC-157 is more angiogenic and works on tendon/ligament attachment points, while TB-500 is more about actin regulation and systemic mobility of repair cells. been running the blend through formblends for about 8 weeks after a partial rotator cuff issue and the difference in range of motion around week 5 was noticeable in a way i wasnt expecting that fast.

I have used both BPC157 and TB500 (as injectable for both and TB-500 additionally as a fragmented oral supplement) and they both work well for healing injuries. I'm using it to rehab from a partial torn pec muscle and rotator cuff tedinopathy. I am happy to report that this combination is also highly effective at rebuilding damaged muscle tissues related to general gym activities and overall joint healing support and at least from my experience; is an excellent aid in overall wound healing. I take it prior to sleeping where it also improved my sleep quality (healing happens mostly as you sleep and recover)

For tennis elbow and rotator, I found that Ostarine worked better, and the injuries didn't come back. BUT, to anyone reading this (Men specifically), Ostarine is a SARM and is angrogenic. It will supress your natural testosterone production. Use only if you are already on a testosterone therapy. For healing, I only used 5mg daily for 8 weeks.

6 weeks of BPC-157 for a chronic shoulder injury, here's what actually happened week by week
been sitting on this for a while because i wanted enough time post-cycle to give an honest assessment. going to try to be specific because the vague "it worked great!" posts in this sub drive me crazy. background: left shoulder, recurring pain at the front of the joint for about 14 months. not a traumatic injury, classic overuse from pressing movements. had an MRI done about 8 months in, showed mild supraspinatus tendinopathy, nothing requiring surgery but enough to be annoying and limit training. tried the standard stuff, deload, physical therapy for 3 months, NSAIDs periodically. PT helped somewhat but the baseline inflammation never fully cleared. decided to run BPC-157 acetate, 250mcg subcutaneous, injected as close to the injury site as i could manage (anterior delt, slightly lateral). once daily, same time each morning. sourced from a reputable peptide vendor, not going to name it but i did verify via third party CoA. ran for 6 weeks total. week 1, honestly nothing. maybe slight placebo warmth around the joint but i was skeptical of my own perception so i discounted it. training was unchanged, kept intensity moderate. week 2, first thing i noticed was recovery between sessions felt faster. the dull ache that would linger 48 hours after any overhead work was shorter, maybe 24 hours. subtle but consistent across multiple sessions so i started paying attention. week 3, this is where it got interesting. range of motion noticeably improved, specifically internal rotation which had been restricted. i'd been tracking this loosely with a shoulder mobility test i found in a Knees Over Toes context, nothing formal but enough to notice a real change. pain during overhead pressing dropped from what i'd call a 5-6/10 to about a 2-3/10. week 4 and 5, continued improvement, plateau started around mid week 4. didn't get dramatically better after that but the gains from week 3 held. i was able to reintroduce overhead pressing at moderate loads without the next-day inflammation response i'd gotten used to. week 6, finished the cycle. pain at rest was essentially zero by this point. under load still present but manageable and not the kind that makes you feel like you're damaging something. now 9 weeks post-cycle. the improvements have held. i'm not 100%, maybe 85-90%, but that's better than i was after 3 months of PT. still doing the mobility work and not going crazy on load. a few honest caveats because i think people skip these. i can't fully rule out that the parallel continuation of PT exercises contributed. i can't rule out natural tissue healing that would have happened anyway on that timeline. what i can say is that the rate of improvement was noticeably faster than the 8 months preceding it, and the pattern of improvement tracked closely with the dosing timeline rather than being gradual and linear the way natural healing tends to feel. mechanistically this makes sense to me. BPC-157 has pretty solid animal data on tendon and ligament healing, upregulation of growth hormone receptors in tendon fibroblasts, angiogenesis promotion in damaged tissue. the human data is basically nonexistent in published form, which is the honest reality of this compound. you're extrapolating from rodent studies and a large body of anecdotal reports. i knew that going in. would i run it again for an acute injury? yeah probably. would i recommend it to someone who hasn't done the basics first, bloodwork, actual PT, ruling out structural damage via imaging? no. this isn't a shortcut, it worked for me in a context where i'd already done the groundwork. curious if anyone else has tracked this with any kind of objective measure, even something simple like range of motion angles or load progression. the plural of anecdote isn't data but it's more useful than nothing.

Hi Buddy, I'm exactly in the same situation as you. I did crossfit and I damage my rotator, it has been like almost 8 months back and forward. After physiotherapy, it helped but not much. After reading different stories, how it help plenty of people I started my peptides journey a week ago, Still to early to say anything, but my standard pain is gone, and 2 days in a row i started lift a bit heavier. There is still some irritation, inflammation. Also I started with a small dosage, so from week 3 I will incrase. This is the first time for me injecting anything, and to be honest, it is way easier than I thought. In my stack I got BPC-157, TB-500 and GHK-UU But do your search before, there is a lot out there, especially youtube.

Rotator cuff/bicep fraying from seizure. Still issues after surgery and lots of pain. Medications that may help?
**I understand this isn't for medical advice** Hello so I am a 36 year old male, who had a seizure last October. I fell face down with no bracing onto concrete and broke parts of my shoulder/"frayed" my bicep in my right side. I do not have a seizure disorder and had a neurological workup. In June of this year, I had surgery to repair. They removed bone from shoulder and reattached my bicep (which turns out was worse than they thought). I also took BPC-157 peptide to encourage healing from my doctor. As well as physical therapy. However, i am still suffering from intense pain not just from "deep" inside the shoulder that received surgery but now also my other shoulder. I have been perscribed tramadol, robaxin, skelaxin, and flexeril to try to ease the pain but they are not enough. I have constant muscle spasms in the areas of my shoulder and most importantly... **I have full range of motion now after surgery, BUT it hurts to move or lay down** I am woken up just moving in my sleep despite the fact of having shoulder pillows to prevent this. I would rather not go on anything stronger than tramadol for pain. But is there a better muscle "relaxant" that can help in this case? My physical therapist told me to get a medication called "Soma" but they said it's hard to get perscribed. Most of my pain is muscular related. I have also been on lyrica and gabapentin as well but this hasn't helped. Thank you. For any advice.

What's the protocol they want you at? I'm in week 6. Open Decompression with distal clavicle excision and lots of clean-up spurs rotatorcuff. I have my exercises which seem ok. I feel like I can do more. I have no pain while doing them. However, he still doesn't want me to use my arm. 🤷‍♀️ BUT I did research and have read many many articles, on the very same procedure. And it varies soo much. It's crazy. Stay the course. They know best as the surgeon was in there and PT I'm certain follows their guidelines. Good luck ✌🏻

This does not look like a severe or catastrophic injury as there is no major tear or structural collapse and joint alignment is preserved it appears more like a combination of labral irritation and rotator cuff tendinopathy which can be painful but is often manageable the findings suggest a moderate level injury rather than something urgent or dangerous and recovery usually depends more on symptoms and how the shoulder functions than just the MRI appearance

Over use has taxed my rotator cuff requiring deeper research options. I am looking into BPC 157 in conjunction with PRP for my next round of therapy.

Lesson Learned: Be Careful and Deliberate When Using Healthy Shoulder to Compensate for Frozen Shoulder
I needed to reach something at the very back of a high cupboard shelf. Normally, I would have used my right arm to reach up and easily grab it but because my right shoulder is frozen I tried to use my healthy left arm to grab it - only problem is to reach the object I stupidly forced myself to make an awkward twisting motion while my left arm was fully extended and now I've gone and really irritated my left rotator cuff! I am praying my left side now doesn't start freezing. Be careful out there folks. It's very easy to further injure oneself while protecting an injured shoulder/arm/leg by overcompensating (or in my case doing something stupid) with a healthy part of your body. When injured, we need to slow down and think before moving. I didn't and now my other shoulder is hurting. Frustrating!
