As stated, I tore my hamstring a bit on 8/22 and was considering peptides to see if it would help accelerate healing.
For no reason, I'll share results here just to do it, although nobody will likely find this subforum, let alone this thread.
Hamstring showed some bruising/blood collection, so it was likely a small tear. I have had 3 PT sessions focusing on utlrasound and muscle scraping. After nine days, I feel no pain when performing walking and regular activities, but I can at times "feel it" - no pain, but it's there.
However, if I press into it there is slight pain today. Likely because last PT session they had me do 2 sets of 10 reps on just the eccentric part of a hamstring curl - first was no weight, second was 10lbs.......no pain, but again, could just feel it was there on the second set.
Anyway, bought 5mg of BPC-157 / 5mg TB-500 from Biotech Peptides and another 10mg of BPC 157 for Peptide Sciences. Both seemed reputable from research.
Today was a shot of 2.5 mg of BPC and TB straight into the injury site. Was only using an insulin needle so it likely didn't go in too deep. There are different arguments of whether injury site injection matters, or if it doesn't and you can just sub-q inject in your belly or wherever (or if it even works at all).
Plan is then to inject .5mg of BPC daily until I run out, except in 3 days to repeat today's shot.
Will see if pain changes in next two days.
Also, never injected, so this feels fucking weird.
I don't think I could ever do steroids lol

I missed your previous report.
How did you tear it?

TB500 did wonders for my rotator cuff partial tear.

I missed your previous report.
How did you tear it?
Baseball.
Had to full out sprint on first play of the game.
Did legs the night before, was sore, probably didn't warm up enough.
My fault.

Have done two subsequent .5mg BPC injections since first injection. Will likely shoot the remainder 2.5mg and 2.5bpc mix in the next day or two, then 8 more days of .5 bpc
Not sure if placebo, timing of use, or if it actually works but it DOES feel much better.
Was able to do about 9 sets of eccentric movements, and it felt worlds better than 3 days ago when we introduced this.
I am also able to lightly jog.
Dry needling likely next week.
