STOP RIGHT THERE!
Let's think about this for a second . . . Your brother has experienced massive injuries, and his doctor has approved AS off the record? Good. Now find a doctor who will approve AS on the record.
Keep in mind that when we (that is, most of us on the board) do AS cycles, we are combining them with structured workout routines. I presume that your brother has had physical therapy as part of his recovery regimen, which suggests that there must be a specialist in physiological medicine involved somewhere in the loop, not to mention one or more physical therapists themselves. Start with seeking some feedback from them.
If unsuccessful, consult a physician who specializes in sports medicine and rehabilitation so that your brother can maximize his potential by combining an AS cycle with a good rehab-oriented workout routine.
And, if you are able to do so, go with him. Two reasons: First, if you have had any experience doing a cycle yourself, you can act as an advocate for your brother. Even the most well-meaning physician may not have as thorough a knowledge of AS as someone who has had personal experience with AS. You don't have enough to be prescribing for someone who has had extensive injuries, but your feedback will be valuable to both your brother and his physician(s). Second - and although you did not mention this in your post - you can serve as a reality check for your brother's rehab on the whole. Keep in mind that people who have had severe injuries often become addicted on opiates (prescription painkillers such as Lortab, Vicodin, Tylenol #3/4, Percocet, etc.); if your brother is still taking any pain meds, these will factor into any workout routine that is prescribed for him (since painkillers mask pain, they sometimes create an artificial set of goals that can result in him going too far), and you can be an encouragement in his starting to move away from their use. Both your brother and any physicians in the loop should welcome your participation - remember that patients today are proactive, not reactive, and have a strong role in decisions regarding their recovery. A little advocacy on your part and on his behalf may help the situation.
If AS are medically indicated, there is no reason that you should not be able to find a medical professional who is willing to go on the record. AS are regularly presribed for patients who have experienced wasting due to cancer, AIDS, or, yes - injuries. And rather than starting to fuck with Mexican drugs made for horses (yeah, I'm exaggerating, but you get the picture, I hope), your brother has the opportunity to use the real stuff - good ol' U-S-of-A pharmaceutical grade AS. And have his insurance pay for them, as well as for supplies such as syringes/needles. Make the most of it, especially in light of his respiratory problems.
Most of all, take every single post that preceded mine and disregard them. (Sorry bro's, but we need a reality check here.) None of us - including me and, yes, including you - are in a position to recommend a specific cycle for your brother. We're not talking about a dude who wants to get his bodybuilding jollies in "enhanced" mode, we're talking about someone who is in the ongoing process of recovering from some very severe injuries. Any cycle that is prescribed for him should come from a professional who has had in-person contact with him, not a bunch of lay dudes on the Internet who have never met him. Face it, everyone, we all mean well, I'm sure, but we are not qualified to deal with this type of situation. In the face of severe physical and respiratory injuries, there are two many potential sequelae (a fancy word for medical consequences) involved.
I'm sure we all wish you and your bro the best, but what you have here is a situation that potentiates the legitimate use of AS. Like I said, make the most of it. :\/:
