Peptides for labral tear : r/HipImpingement

I did a 3-4 month course of BPC, locally injected around the hip. Definitely seemed to help with the muscle/tendon sensitivity and decreased the need for constant manual therapy. Probably wound up about an even cost vs seeing physio/RMT for the same relief. I’m considering a second round to help with training recovery, so obviously felt it did something useful. I did it post op, but in general I think it falls into the -can help with pain & function but won’t actually fix the problem- camp like PT & other injections. So depending on what your aggravating factors are for pain it could help you be more successful in combination with PT or just get you to a point where pain is low enough you don’t need to pull the trigger on surgery.

Context first

Study findings do not automatically establish clinical benefit, safety, dosing, or suitability for an individual.
