Recovering from stab wound
Hey everyone sorry it's been awhile....so I will get straight to the point. In August of last year I was stabbed protecting my mother from some random heroine addict who attempted to break into her car with her in it thankfully I was visiting my brother was able to interfere.
I had to get emergency surgery 30 stitches and two surgeons later. I came out of surgery with all feeling to my left arm being completely lost. Surgeon told my wife cut was so deep he knicked the bone.Was out of the gym for two months. Forced myself to lift and seriously man one day woke up and regained feelings and control of my arm and hand.
Which brings me to now I have managed to break up alot of the scar tissue. My lifts are decent (considering the situation ). My thing is now I am 7 months from when the injury occured.
I am kind of at a crossroads I still feel soreness occasionally have my good and bad days. I wanted to attempt a test only cycle to see if it would help fully repair my arm. I am going by the fact that aas helps repair muscle.
I know their will be people who want to break me down. With that being said I have been back to seriously training since October. Everyone has their own opnion of seriously training mine is 5 days consistently.
What I am basically trying to say is what are your though ts on it? I have been here before and all you guys have always been extremely helpful.

Honestly I dont know that a steroid cycle is the answer for healing your scar. if thats seriously all you are looking for then probably not a good idea. If you already figured that and was just looking for a cosign to run a cycle than run the Fkn cycle. Just pay attention to what you are lifting now, dont increase that weight much or too fast, dont bring on a bunch of new exercises to injured area, plan out your cycle well, have everything IN HAND before starting, make sure you got proper food intake and money set aside. Than Fkn roll with it...
Thanks for the input man greatly appreciated was not necessarily looking for a cosign. Just was seeing if anyone has ever been in a similar situation.
Decided on holding off for now. Just for the fact that hopping "on" might impact my judgment on weights. Rather pump the brakes on "ego" then be out for another six months.
With that being said I appreciate all you guys taking time to comment and give your input.
Thats fucked mate, ive been stabbed in the guts 5 lower left, my old man was stabbed to death 38 all over.
Multi vitamin- 2 a day- on top of that
Vitamin c
Vitamin e
Vitamin d
Vitamin k
Calcium
Bcaas- 3 times a day morn- afternoon- night
Protein powder- high quality iso-
Creatine mono
Super green shakes 3 a day
Awesome diet, good foods high in red meats 5000 cals per day min.
Hgh- 5iu daily
Test e - 400 per week.
This would be your best chance at recovery, no pain meds no alcohol no smoking- high anti oxidants.
I broke legs feet 21 months ago- the above is researched for rapid healing- i did have luck it healed certain bones quicker than usual one bone is still fucked though didnt heal at all due to blood flow complications. Broke leg again few weeks back.
Health is key- injuries take 3000 cals a day alone during healing that doesnt even include normal food or training food requirements- vitamin k transports protein/ calcium/ nutrients to affected bones injuries.
Good luck.
Thanks bro the fact you took the time to write all that information means alot... everyone has given so much great information I will to a updated post to let you guys of my progress.
Sorry about your father. Shit man you should be proud making injuries like that and still pushing through it....inspiration to say the least.
Firstly sorry to hear about your situation and no matter what you can hold your head up high with the knowledge that you ended up where you are defending you and your loved ones.
Now as to the question at hand. Not that I have ever been stabbed but I have had some serious injuries (including ligament and tendon damage). Steroid cycle helped in terms of building muscle and strength to support the damaged joint/ligaments/tendons but they did nothing to help heal the actual damage. For me I found a combination of very focuse and specialised physical therapy and doses of HGH daily plus some cycle of IGF-1 LR3 was the game changer for me. Not sure this will help with nerve damage but if it's ligaments/tendons then this is where I would start. Once I am much further advanced along in my recovery is where I would stack in some test and let it do it's job. It a long and expensive road but this is how I would handle it. Good luck.
Thanks I'll defineltly will do some research on those compounds and get back with you on any questions or opnions you might have with the decision going forward as always thanks dack.
RustyhookerI agree on the hgh with repair. Maybe low dose test run if he listens to his body. More volume and less strength. Still fatigues muscle but not as hard on connective tissues.
I wouldn't be against experimenting. Especially at low dosages. I was thinking about going with a 15,12,10,8 for majority of exercises going forward. Thanks rusty for the input.
RustyhookerHope to see you heal strong and post up a success story
Test will help muscle building but not necessarily tendon healing or nerve damage, which it sounds like maybe that's what your dealing with?
Yea guys it's weird like the first couple of months I could literally almost feel the wound reattaching...their was alot of issues initially from my wrist being so weak I couldn't even lift a cellphone... to staying away from pull ups I just started doing them again these past two months.
Deadlifting isn't the greatest either do 315 for about five reps.... as far as it being more mental then anything you know like worried some shit out of a horror movie would happen.
Doctor said I would be fully healed around six months but that was with physical therapy.

Any prior cycle history?
Yes I had a nightmare cycle gave a trainer money and let him plan my cycle keep things short he pumped nightmarish amounts of anything from dbol,winny,tren,Anavar.
Long story short trainer went away for awhile and I was left without any pct. Found this site did my research asked plenty of questions. Decided on a test only cycle which was successful have not done anything since. Last cycle was I would say last year. February 10 weeks.
I feel like it's up to you on running it. You know how you feel as far as being able to make any gains from it. Testosterone increases protein synthesis so I would increase the recovery rate of the injured muscle. However, that would also depend on how well the muscle has recovery thus far from the stab wound. 7 months, is a good amount of time to recover.
Thanks for the response man appreciate it. Yeah it's like the flashbacks of seeing my arm open kinda mess with me at the gym. Kinda feel like a test only cycle will give me that extra kick and also cut down chances of injury. It's complex you know? Like my insurance only covered visits to the surgeon for 3 months been on my own since then.
