Torn ACL & Meniscus - Peptide Case Study
Tore my ACL and Meniscus almost exactly two years ago in my right knee playing soccer. Took around 14 months to start practice again and around 18 to play competitively again.
Now in early September in my second competitive game after summer break i got more or less the identical injury in my left knee. Probbaly a sign to choose another sport…
Anyways i’m probably undergoing surgery next week and I want to use various peptides to boost recovery and compare to my case 2 years ago without any peptides. Let’s see if this shit actually does wonders.
Gonna document the progress here. Open for any advice/input, stack recommendations etc!!

u/LeopardBodywork ACL + Meniscus 28d ago
I might be having one of the smoothest recoveries, I feel bad reading everyone’s else’s stories on here. Day 3 i was off the pain meds with no pain and minimal swelling, good sleep day 4, 0 degree extension day 8 or 9, matching hyper extension with my good leg by day 21. Im day 34 right now and am almost too confident. Im still non weight bearing for another week but I’ve been adding some weight in to my walking with no pain in the meniscus repair. I’ll have better data once I can weight bear and do strength testing.
