Im curious about both of these. Im getting older and shit is starting to hurt and break down more. I actually have to go see my sports medicine dr again because I believe that I tore my rotator cuff at the gym. Even if it is torn Im putting off surgery as long as I can. He’s the same guy that replaced my ACL two years ago.
Im not even sure where to start looking for the basic info. I have obviously googled some info but theres so much and I think some of you have taken or currently take one or both. Im not looking to get on the over of a magazine; I just want to stop falling apart. Fuck you bad genetics. Also are there any serious side effects? Dont want anything that will effect my head or temperament. I stopped taking pain killers after my ACL surgery because of how much it messed me up.
Will a sports medicine surgeon know this? Or do I still need to see another dr? Still in the research stage of this so any helpful info is greatly appreciated.

Not the most salubrious of environments and I'm not trying to divert traffic from here being this is my forum home now, but the strength and conditioning section of Sherdog will really help you out here.

This is much harder to make happen then you would realize. Entire different type of database has to be used.

With that said. The second half of 2018 we'll support it :)

HGH and trt are not regularly considered to be beneficial for ligament and tendon injuries. Even a cursory look through illegal users doesn't show a lot of anecdotal evidence of benefit.
Or maybe even some negatives.


Outside of a really good surgeon and really good physical therapist making a good diagnosis and treatment plan, the only thing in the world that you're describing that might be beneficial is to look at PRP injections. This is a lot of case study and retrospective results and even some meta-analysis benefits. Consistent randomized trials are not available yet. The PRP preparation is way too variable.

So if you're not going to surgery, you can Pony up the cash for PRP. It might not work but it might help.

Ive broken both my legs, an ankle, my hand, ACL replaced and MCL torn, missing a disk, 1 concussion, gall bladder removed, woke up during one of my surgeries, accidentally shot a HUGE air bubble into my artery with an IV and now a bum shoulder. I hate hospitals. Cant decide if I will rust out or burn out. :).

Which surgery did you wake up during? Fuck that. I had a local anaesthetic for an Implanon removal which they didn't give me enough of and I nearly went postal.

That's terrible that your hospital broke your legs

The only thing stopping me is that my pics won't upload and I can't use Instagram
