Strengthening Ligaments

**james21** · 11-06-2005, 11:58 PM

Is there any medication, I would imagine it would be a steroid that will strengthen ligaments along side with physical therapy? Also if there are does anyone have any medical studies you could post a link to. What about HGH also? Thanks for all and any replies.

I am just in a rush to strengthen some ligaments in both my ankles, because I am leaving soon for the military and I am going to see a specialist but I need to be able to exercise and get alot more fit quick, because I have to take a physical test before i even goto basic and I have messed up ankles(colored) right now from rolling over that they never used to do.

I thought HGH did this, and I was going to mention that to my doctor, but I would like some med studies that show that. Thanks much.

How are you rolling your ankles so frequently. I did that once in HS football and it was painful. You just have to do proper rehab with isometrics and stretching. My achilles is thicker on one side from tearing that a few years ago playing flag football when I was 230lbs. TOo much weight for my medium-small frame at 5'10". I now weigh 200lbs and I feel much better.

i am 5'7 180 and i rolled one ankle then i favored it so much that it made it weak, then i rolled the other ... same thing it went into a vicious cycle. I have never had a problem but within the last 6 months(when i did the first roll) i have rolled both ankles 3 times.... sprained usually really bad purple etc, and 1 fracture and 1 broken.

I just need to heal FAST because of the military, and i figured one of these substances spoken about on this board would help.

I would recommend 30 days of lr3igf-1 at 80mcgs ed with some test prop at 75-100mgs ed. The androgen coupled with the igf will help you build atrophied muscles supporting the ankle (lower calves) and the lr3igf-1 should help repair and strengthen your ligaments.
