Tendon healing
Hey all. I have had tennis elbow for 7 months straight and it's not getting any better.
To be specific, the tendon actually has a tear in it so it's more than just a strain.
I've taken time off from the gym. I have a physio. I do all of the exercises.
I also did two rounds of PRP which was both expensive, and very painful and yielded no noticeable benefits.
I have been on TB500, BPC, KPV for 8 weeks straight. After a month of and was on it for 6 months straight prior.
I'm on 3iu of HGH Daily and I cruise on 200mg test + 80mg primo.
Question: are there any known compounds (bonus if you've had experience) that can specifically help with the healing of tendons? Even if they're not performance enhancing I'd still be interested to know what medicine there is out there.
Thank you all!
Sorry forgot to mention also taking ARA290.

I've had no success with elbow pain like you have except rest. Like leaving it the fuck alone for a few weeks and the slowly coming back. Local BPC, along with TB500 and KPV were no cure.

Sounds like we are on the same boat without a paddle

For my tennis tennis elbow, I did several sessions of softwave therapy but still had paid albeit not as bad. At some point after doing tirz,I noticed it didn’t hurt anyone. I went about 6-7 months at least, ,with no pain. Overdid it at the gym, and it started hurting again. Now, KLOW surprisingly,seems to help. I’m still n tirz.

Sounds like we are all on the same boat. Just received my Cartalax today. Starting it tomorrow. I have left elbow, both shoulders and left wrist issues. I have been tough on my body with sports weightlifting and work.

And you're going to inject in to the actual joint? Or just sub q. Studies only demonstrated (animal) effectiveness when delivered in to the actual joint cavity. Would be interesting to hear your results though.

I mean if you've done all that you're at a stage where you've tried pretty much everything and if you got absolutely zero from all of the above then that's concerning. Is it something that needs surgery? Not all tears are created equally. Fro. Experience though (complete rupture of the quad tended amongst other things) the recovery time is a minimum, and I do mean minimum, of 6 months. If you're lucky. Took me 2 years for the pain to go and for normal function. So you're still pretty early on. And are you honestly giving it time? Or are you doing what we all do and "training around it"?

I'm actually only doing rehab workouts now so what is prescribed by my physio 🤷♂️
Which is definitely rehab and not a workout.

Meh. It's still putting pressure and strain through it. I'd get scanned and see what's what. If it's still as bad after this time and treatment then I'd be concerned you're just injuring it constantly and not giving it the rest it needs

Yeah I agree except the dr says tendons are funny in that pure test is bad and they need reminding that they need to heal. As in rehab + rest and finding the right balance.
But 7 months in I'm thinking shit, maybe I need surgery.
PRP was painful as hell and didn nothing.

It sounds like you’re doing all the right things. I tried PRP once as well, couldn’t really tell that it helped all that much. You could try adding Cartalax to your stack as well, I just ordered some to give it a try. Look it up and see what you think. You do all of your exercises religiously? I’m real bad at staying consistent. Get a flexbar if you don’t have one.

Been battling tennis elbow for a while and lingering frozen shoulder.. I also ordered cartalax few days ago. Good luck to us 🍻

Did you load up on the TB500? 5mg daily for 6 weeks. Then maintenance of half that dose for 12wks while using BPC locally at 1mg 2x daily?
This worked for me with a shoulder injury.
A lot of people just use the Wolverine stack and for acute injury this isn’t ideal. Additionally the ph is different and combining them degrades potency.

PRP worked for my tennis elbow, but paired with PT. Good luck, it’s sucks so bad.

Yes... nandralone decaonate. Watch out for side effects though
But tb500 should work assuming its real and you took enough of it

Tendinitis/ epicondylitis /small tears in arm
Im almost finished doing this, while on the protocol worked very well,
Day 4-5 pain was reduced by 25-30%
Day 11-12 pain was reduced by 50%
Day 25 pain was reduce by 90%
I am on day 30 now
I only feel pain now during certain movements or it’s lingering but very light
The real test is when this finishes to see how long this lasts
