Broken bones and peptides

[ickyrica]

I got a sad txt this morning. A guy I know from the gym broke his arm this weekend. Ulna, clean break I guess. He was reaching out to me because he knows I am on cycle and he kind of thinks that makes me a Dr. with this stuff. Trust me guys, I do not lead anyone on. I am by far a Dr!! It's his lazy assumption even with my full disclosure.

Anyway. ..

He broke his forearm and is on cjc. What's the back ground on peptides w a broken bone? This ever happen to anyone?

I found little info in either direction. Any insight would be fantastic.

Thx

Thanks brotha. That was from last years contest. I plan on bringing a bigger, harder package later on this year.

Here's the thing with fractures: fractures heal.

Except when they don't - but drugs aren't going to make a non-union or mal-union into a normal healthy bone if it isn't already healing. I doubt it will even help out in the case of a delayed union.

If you want to return to sport fastest after a fracture there are only two things that will help:

[1] an excellent orthopedic surgeon

[2] an excellent physiotherapist

That's all.

Sounds like surgery isn't indicated here.

A lot of bones will be healed within 8-12 weeks under normal conditions but healing can be delayed longer in some cases.

There is absolutely no point stressing over what drugs to take to heal a broken bone - if the cast or splint is keeping it at a good angle that will let it heal (without becoming a mal-union) then you simply need to be patient. Your surgeon will have you coming in periodically to take x-rays and you can observe how much has healed.

What your friend really needs to do is get a physiotherapist and start a protocol as soon as his orthopedic surgeon says it's acceptable.

Immobilization will absolutely destroy your ROM and function within a couple weeks for whatever limb you immobilized. This is going to be the biggest set back assuming the bone heals at a good angle.

I really think surgery is great for guys who train or play sports - I could be wrong but I believe being an athlete is one of the indications for surgery in the case of broken bones because the surgeon can align the bone PERFECTLY which is probably ideal for high level athletes. Relying on a cast or a splint can result in the bone healing at an odd angle which is acceptable too if it's within a certain degree, but probably not the best option.

Fracture healing is a fucking cake-walk compared to the restoring of ROM following immobilization - the latter should be his biggest concern if the bone is healing just fine.

I have found a study that indicated no noticeable difference in healing time. The study was in reference to GH and IGF-1.

Improvement of fracture healing by systemic administration of growth hormone and local application of insulin-like growth factor-1 and transforming... - PubMed - NCBI

I wouldn't expect anything less from you my friend!

@weighted chinup

I think he was more worried about any negative repercussions of peptide use w the bone injury.

I would suppose he is safe to keep running during his healing

Wow. That post was butchered. Not sure how I ended up with that as a post. I apologize lol.

What the article indicated was no noticeable difference when GH and IGF are combined, However, they do show a positive response on their own.
