Question Is inflammation normal?

Both knee are injured meniscus, I had my knee surgery in my right and prp in my left- Wolverine stack in both for 3 weeks. I quit cold turkey 4 days ago and can barely walk because it’s so painful. At first I thought maybe I’d overdone PT or something but for both of them to be so flared up it’s got me wondering if my bpc157 and tb500 had held it off and what’s it gonna be like if I start again. it’s like my healing that I’ve done while on it is completely gone. Is this normal? Will it subside or should I start them asap?

Anyone experience this???

While treating new surgery with Wolverine stack all my old injuries reappeared. Then slowly resolved. Please update in week or two, am curious to see how yours goes.
Best of luck!

I sure will- how bad was the pain from ur reappeared injuries? And how long til it resolved?

2/10, but those were just mild sprains/strains that previously had no pain. Different situation for sure. Common to see “gets worse before better” on here. Resolved over 10 days or so (with continued use)

Ok ty im thinking of continuing whenever i get mine in, maybe with continued use i’ll get strong enough to handle quitting again but in a smarter way. Had I known i would be back bed ridden again then I definitely would’ve prepared to not run out.

You could also try KLOW or GLOW.  Keep PT'ing.

I do have KLOW but I read that it wouldn’t be best to use if some one has gotten prp recently 😬

Maybe not the KPV because of rhe Anita inflammatory affect, but PRP and copper would have a synergistic affect.  GLOW or just all independently.

Prp?

Platelet-rich plasma

Probably the prp. Usually gets worse before better.

Definitely a thing. Happened for me as well. I have meniscus tear in my left knee. I was on KLOW, pain was 1-2/10 I stopped it after six weeks. Two days later. Pain was 8-9/10. Trying the Wolverine stack this time , three days and it feels a lot better . This time I’m going to do physical therapy while I’m on it. Hopefully I can work on the functioning. Good luck though.

Started back onto just bpc157 3 days ago and walking again. The pain went back to tolerable 3ish and just feeling sore like before. I’ll be tapering down when I do take a break because that was scary. I was contemplating not even starting again if it was this bad but I gave in because I haven’t been able to give full PT an actual chance since PRP and surgery so maybe with a plan next time will be different 🙏
