Well its my first post here, I was more active somewhere else, but yes, Im one of the very few people who did inject peptides direclty into a joint, Im in my early 30s and have beginning Osteoathritis in the talonavicular joint.
The cause for this is chronic ankle instability from an injury over 15 years ago, Im an idiot for listening to doctors, who didnt take it seriously back then.
Whatever regenerating cartilage is insanely difficult and school medicine says even impossible, however there seem to be ways, that can work if its in an early stage you dont see the Osteoathritis in the x-ray, but you see the Osteophytes. I dont know if there is any reason, why your cartilage was damaged, but it is important, to fix this first, I am going to have surgery to fix the chronic ankle instability soon too.
Let me tell you, what I did:
Stem Cell treatment, unfortunately not the one, where the cells are cultivated, cause it is forbidden in Europe, and since its a very small joint, I hope the bodyown amount is enough.
-Chrondrofiller liquid
Massive weight loss from 110kg to 88kg at 1.95cm, lost a lot of muscle too unfortunately
-intraarticular injections of BPC157&TB500&IGF1lr3
Planned PEG-MGF and further IGF1lR3 intraarticular injections
6IU HGH daily going to up to 8 to 10 soon
-Epitalon 2mg daily
And ye lots of supplements I take prolly everything possible and eating carnivore too to reduce inflammation to a minimum.
In case I may ear carbs, which happened a few times, I always use metformin to never let Insulin spike, the max spike I had were 125mg/dl, so I also dont overextend with carbs, the worst were 2 litres of milk and 2 bananas thats it.
We will see if this is gonna help or not since regenerating cartilage takes over a year at least and I need to first reconstruct my ligaments,but I will keep you updated.
