HGH....direct site injection?

[tcw]

I have a couple of injuries that i was hoping HGH would help clear up. One is my upper forearm and the other is my knee.

Should i;
a) inject into the fatty subcutaneous layer of skin around my waist or
b) can i do a direct injection into the site area that is bothering me?

Is there any benifit or danger from "b?"

IMO no there is no proof that it will spot-heal when directly injected into a muscle. I'd stick with Sub-q and rest the muscle for the appropriate time needed.

Thanks BD....What's your opinion about HGH healing Tendons or injuries?

[tcw]

Thanks Very Much Red....

I "appreciate and enjoy" your input and generosity!

Agreed with RedBaron, great advice.

There is no inherent danger from option "b", but I don't think you would find that it would offer any added benefit of direct healing at the injection site.

I have personally had a substantial enough number of injuries (due to my body not communicating effectively to my brain that I am now in my 40's and shouldn't be doing some of the crazy things I used to be able to get away with ), and I have no doubt that my HGH use over the last 7 years or so is a big factor in my being as healthy and mobile as I am given a pretty impressive string of oops's along the way.

Your HGH should work for you anywhere you wish to inject it. I rotate from my thighs, to abdominal area, to obliques ... really anywhere you have skin. You should certainly see some relief with your injuries due to HGH ... it will just likely take several months before you will notice that relief.

Red, do you feel that HGH would posibly help resolve my tendonitis issues(SI joint,both arms right knee and hip)? My doctor is considering putting me on a cycle. I am young at 24 but they will not heal up and keep getting reaggravated(chronic).

I am willing to take a high dose if need be on my own.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If the Dr is willing to put you on HGH at 24, your injuries must be pretty bad. Will your insurance foot the bill? If not, it could be very costly. My guess is if the Dr thinks it'll help, he must know a way to get your insurance to pay.

Damn I have low HGH/IGF-1, I'm on HRT for low test levels and I can't get a Dr to prescribe it to me.

Well, my injuries are chronic tendonitis/tendonosis of both elbow, SI joint and some in my knees. I have had these problems for a couple of years and they will not heal up and are a hinderance to my active lifestyle. I have had every other treatment in the book(trust me) and cannot shake the infamous tendonitis problems.

That is why he is willing to start prescribing it to me because I have the medical records that show nothing else has worked.

My problems are all connective tissue derived...so the thinking is that a good dose of hgh for a period of time could be very beneficial in the healing of my chronic tendonitis problems.

It's taken me 6 months of presenting positive studies on hgh to him...to finally get him to do it(I have did a lot searching for sure).

He is going to put me on a low dose of 2 IU 5/2 .

My insurance will foot the bill for now.

I have found plenty of people who knocked there chronic tendonitis problems after a good run of GH..so I am hoping for the best.

While I wouldn't go so far as to call HGH a cure-all for your type of problem, you are correct that it has helped a great number of people with similar issues ... self included on a couple of occasions.

Your dose of 2 -3 IU's per day 5/2 should be sufficient to get the job done over a 6 month cycle. Best of luck. Hopefully it will do the trick for you.

Thanks very much Red, I really appreciate your input about my situation.

I will definitley keep people posted whenever I get started(should be soon). I hope I don't have to worry about any insulin resistance since I have a pretty solid diet(no refined sugars).

Fosil,

What kind of studies did you present to your Dr?

I would like to get mine covered by insurance too....Can you point us in the right direction for evidence? Are these articles available online?
