IGF for injury rehab, tissue rebuilding properties ??

**thedudeplus** · 11-19-2006, 03:13 PM

hey bros. as an older fella with a ton of old (serious at one point) nagging injuries i've always wondered if IGF might be able to make my joints recover ...
i've had a pain in my hip flexor area for months now and i just had a m.r.i. which the doc said revealed a tear in the labrum of my hip joint. he said no measure of rehab or physical therapy will solve the issue so i'm considering again entering the dark world.
i have a rotator cuff tear too that could use some help ..

so would IGF help? would i inject straight into my hip area (for the hip) and delt (for shoulder)? what type of regimen would be correct? ed? mgs?

Not sure what you mean or are getting at there....but anyway if you search in the forum archives you will find a great number of people have been significantly helped from using GH for there joint/tendon/ligament issues.

What do you think he means ... especially after asking if IGF would help heal some of his injuries?

Dude, no steroid is going to help repair body parts that have been structurally injured, short of surgery. Growth hormone has some recuperative benefits but cannot repair torn tendons, or ligaments and I doubt a damaged rotator cuff. It might provide some benefits in assisting tired, or worn joints, but not structurally damaged ones. IGF won't do a thing to help what you're asking. Maybe one of the vets, or mods will come back with some practical advice, but you might want to check out the Rehab forum.
