I would also like to add that the three of us–pulphero, Swolle, and I–are actually on the same side of this issue, in that all of us have suffered a biceps-tendon rupture, and therefore are all at risk for rupturing the other one as well. My point is, I am as interested as you guys in the availability of adjunctive therapies for promoting post-op healing, because there is a nonzero chance I am going to be a candidate for it myself someday. Where we differ seems to be in terms of 1) the level of evidence we’re willing to accept vis a vis demonstrating the safety/efficacy of hGH as a post-op adjunct, and 2) our faith in individual physicians to ‘do the right thing’ in providing care to their pts.

But I can say in all honesty that I hope you guys are right about hGH; ie, I hope it turns out to be safe and efficacious in promoting tendon repair. [/quote]

Correct me if I am wrong but tendons are made of collagen. Collagen synthesis is the procedure in which the tendon repairs itself. I am right, nandrolones, hgh, Igf, ghrp and cjc ALL increase collagen synthesis. Watch clint darden’s Youtube video on injury rehab. I don’t think that there are studies done on tendon repairs with hgh, at leaszt not on humans.

Apologies on my assumptions… And you are 100% sort of correct on the reasons they made HGH unavailable off label. I have read much and done several n=1 studies… I had in addition to my 6 month to
Stronger than before distal bicep tear… An additional incident with the same protocol… I had a complete rupture of both my infra and surpraspinatus which were both retracted and detached for 5 months… Prior to surgery the surgeon was concerned that he may not even be Able to get them back to the original footprint due to atrophy and lack of pliability. He was mistaken… They were both elastic enough and less atrophied than expected. Fast forward to 4 months post op and I am back to light training and coming faster weekly… I had full range of motion and no pain after 6 weeks … The normal protocols for this surgery are 10-12 weeks immobilized and 3 months of therapy zero weight for the first half. Expectations are not to be 100% until 1 year. Lets just say the surgeon and the physical therapist have never seen anything like it.
