Torn meniscus. Tb500 bpc-157
Tore my meniscus last night playing soccer with some pals. One of those pals is a physio and I’m also in training to become a physio and we are pretty sure I’ve torn my meniscus. In hospital as I write this to get an X-ray and find out. I will probably have it removed if insurance will cover it as I’ve heard it tears to easily. Sad I won’t be able to work legs for a while but could be worse.
Anyway on to my question. I want to run tb500 and bpc -157 to speed up healing. Anyone have experience with this for meniscus or cartilage in general? Any guide on doses and length if I’m running both? I’m doing research as we speak but would like some updated opinions as I know things change over time.
Also if anyone thinks theirs better options peptides wise let me know.

I tore my tricep tendon off the bone about 16 months ago. I was out of the gym for only three months. Now I didn’t train that tricep of course but I did train around it as fast as possible. Since that time I’ve run several vials of bpc-157. Only had one bunk source out of four. I can say it worked very well for me speading up my recovery. From what I understand it works by creating more blood flow into the tendons since they hardly have any blood flow and that why typically they take so long to heal. Someone in this feed said to take supplements that your body needs to heal the injury and he was 100% correct. Don’t waste your money on the BPC if you’re not also taking vitamin-c, vitamin-d and a multi source collagen supplement twice a day once in the morning and once before bed and at least 10 grams of collagen per serving. You will also want to take the d vitamin with magnesium and k-2. I took the vitamin concoction three times a day spread out and pinned the BPC in the morning and in the evening before bed. Depending on the source sometimes it will make you lethargic and sometimes you will feel injuries all over your body healing and sometimes just around the injection site. The stuff I’m on now knocks my dick in the dirt so I’m only pinning once before bed but this shit I’m on now is amazing though.
Be careful with this shit though because just like with everything else the strength is different with different sources. Start as low as possible because if you do too much it can be unpleasant. I watched a YouTube of some guy who injects a whole vial a couple times a year and I can say right now that a whole vial from a legit source will make you very sick. I’m serious I talked to a guy who had to go to a hospital because he FAFO. Watch out who you get information from people and as always be careful with this shit.
I had issue with my meniscus (right knee)... was very painful... was limping around... swollen... knee giving out on me... had hard time sleeping because it's natural for the leg to roll outward when laying down and that twisting motion drove me nuts at night...Both knees also creaked and popped as they have taken a lot of abuse for years doing construction...knees were also very weak for many years.
So I tried BPC-157 250mcg 2X day for a month at the end of the month I felt better but the strange thing is it seamed to continue to work and and couple weeks later both knees felt great... here's the kicker... I only took the shot around my right knee but both got healed... also my legs felt stronger... it's been about 2 yrs now and I feel like I could use a boost again... not issue with meniscus or other tendons in the knees but just age related like arthritis... I think it cures arthritis too... I know Dr.s give this out readily now and I've heard some Dr's always add it to their recovery for surgery... You can get this from a Dr... just make sure you get the shots and not the capsules. I would double that dose if you can...
I'm getting some now for a neck issue I'm having... Left side back of my neck ..behind left ear ... if I touch it while sleeping with my pillow I will get like a muscle pain and tension headache while sleeping... It was awful 2 days ago because it continued through my entire day instead of getting better after I get up and move around...
I ran a lot of TB-500 at different doses a while back. I truthfully can't say the results were overwhelming though I do think it helped somewhat.
Okay so through my research realistically, surgery is the only option and I’m looking st 4 weeks out recovery after. Tb500 altough showing some cartilidge regeneration properties, isn’t worth the price tags and the bpc-175 is better for soft tissue. Issue with cartilage seems to be it has no blood flow and therefore struggles to heal as it is. Have an MRI tomorrow and hopefully surgery following.
If anyone has experience with meniscus damage would you recommend repair or removal?
What about PRP into the area, considering blood flow causes an issue. PRP direct?
Just thinking aloud, could be worth looking at?
I’ve seen that and stem cell therapy recommended, I’ll look into it but I doubt I could afford it. May end up injecting my own semen into my knee.
LOL
dont do that
fella over here nearly fucked himself up doing that shit!

I had mine repaired early December. I didn't discuss removal but my understanding is if you do you may run into issues later in life. I tore it playing baseball but my job had already worn the cartilage down to bone on bone so the recoveris still ongoing I was lazy and never got around to getting tb500. I should have though because I had great success using it for tendonitis. Anyway good luck with whatever you decide
There are aready a lot topic bout this compounds.
TB500 2x2,5mg/week for 8-10 weeks.
BPC 200mcg daily, if u tolerate it good u can go up to 2x200mcg daily , as close as possible to the injured spot!
StevebYes
Is this what you would recommend Steve? Not either the BPC 157 or TB 500 but run BOTH at the same time. I've got a shitty shoulder now too Lol
StevebIf it's for your should then just use BPC157 and inject it as close to your injured tendon as possible. Also it doesn't work too well unless you take it with a supplement that has things in it to repair your tendons with. Buy a good joint supplement to use alongside the BPC157.
Okay that's Brilliant - Many thanks for getting back to me :-) I'll just get the 157 then, I've come across a Peptide only company in the UK that's been going for 8 years on here so should be good gear. Are there certain sides that become apparent to indicate it is the proper stuff?
StevebIt works fast so if you don't feel better after a week or two it's probably not real BPC157. I noticed an improvement in just 3 days.
It didn't fix my tendon that was detached because that's not possible but it did fix anything torn and my bicep tendon that was slipping.
Bloody hell it's obviously effective stuff then!
How did you realise your tendon was detached - did it show up in an X-ray or was the pain just so bad all at once you knew it was broken?
StevebXrays only show bone tendons don't show up. I was at the gym with my son. Even he heard it snap it sounds like a small rubberband breaking. I had 3 MRI's done, first one was 3 months after the injury, second was couple months after surgery, and another one about a year after the surgery.
Did you find the BPC made you feel tired at all?
StevebI take it before I go to bed so I don't notice. But I don't feel tired throughout the day.
Well I did the first injection into the front delt earlier bud so lets pray for a miracle Lol Would I be able to get away with just one 500mcg shot a day do you think or does it have to be 2 smaller ones for a reason?
