experiences with HGH connective tissue repair?

[ascendant]

i have many reasons i'm starting HGH soon, but one big one is the increase in collagen synthesis which in turn improves connective tissues. i have issues with my rotator cuffs. i've had the problems with them since i was about 15 and i'm 28 now, and nothing else i've tried has really helped them much. just wondering if any of you have had personal experiences where this stuff has dramatically helped any joint issues you have, particularly rotator cuff related? also, how long did it take to really notice a difference?

The key is to be consistent and to NOT just rely on GH. You have to be smart about the way you train a nagging injury. Make sure to get plenty of bloodflow to that area, and do some sort of rehab/prehab...like Jobes exercises for the shoulder. Also, be patient...it could take 6 months for your shoulder to feel better. Also, go up in doses gradually...if you don't...it could cause the joints to get slightly inflamed. I guess you don't have to worry about that if you are on DECA though...good luck. Oh yeah...the stuff works when one knows what they are doing...

thanks man. i do spend a good amount of time warming up my rotator cuffs now before every workout and that has helped a lot. as far as going up in doses gradually, i definitely plan to and thanks again.

You should be good. GH will not heal everything...especially any scar tissue that has accrued in the past 13 years...the only thing that MAY help with scar tissue is serrapeptase...Charles Poliquin thinks, according to studies, that it shows promise in disentegrating scar tissue and/or arterial plaque...interesting nonetheless. I took some while on arginine products and did not break-out with herpes simplex when I used to have a problem with that when on arginine. Long-winded...but I hope this helps. Good luck.

Don't know how much you've had your shoulder evaluated, but with rotator cuffs some of the problems are related to calcium buildup and the buildup rubbing on adjacent areas causing the pain. These conditions are not helped by deca, gh, igf, or other compounds, but by surgery to scrape off the calcium.
