Will it work if i inject directly into injury?

**StraightCreepin** · 05-08-2011, 02:02 AM

Im about to start growth, i usually inject it into the fat on my stomach but i recently got a grade 2 hamstring strain and was told from a few peeps that it will help heal my injury if i inject directly into hamstring, is this true???i want to be for sure if i do so! And another thing, by injecting it in my stomach does it still help healing of injury?

Im 33, 5"8 and 190

Some believe it helps, some not so much....I injected straight into my knee when it hurt and I do think it felt better.....

No.

Your liver has to convert the HGH to growth factors before new tissue can be created. It doesn't get converted locally.

You might find this interesting OP.

"Based on many reports in the literature
describing the positive benefits of systemically injected
HGH in helping speed the healing of serious burns, skin
grafts, and fractures, we hypothesized that a localized
injection of HGH would also be beneficial. I could find
only one study in the literature using localized injection of
HGH. The study involved brachial artery injections using
a tourniquet and compared muscle mass in the treated
arm with the untreated arm used as the control. Muscle
mass increased significantly in the treated arm and the
serum IGF-1 levels did not rise. HGH is a strong stimulant
of protein synthesis, with the effect being significantly
enhanced with the addition of aqueous testosterone ."

"After a 6 month process, I was
awarded an IRB approval from the Roper/St. Francis
Healthcare System IRB committee in Charleston, SC for
a two year study with 100 subjects. The study started in
June 2009, and I am currently treating or have treated
40 patients. The preliminary results have been quite
gratifying. I’ve found anecdotally that the areas treated
are healing faster, stabilizing more quickly, and patients
are reporting less pain than was observed with the
Prolotherapy procedures that I perform. I am averaging 3
sets of injections per body area, with minimal discomfort
during and after the procedure. A number of patients
report improvements very early on during treatment.
Each subject will be re-evaluated 12 months following the
completion of the injections, and I have not yet reached
that timeline."

I'm always nervous about injecting directly into injured areas. If the needle penetrate through the tendon or ligament it puts a little hole in it. In the case of a tendon, it doesn't heal. Enough holes and you'll weaken the tendon. I've had serious shoulder injuries where I used HGH for recovery. I don't think the benefit of direction injection out weighs the potential risks. My .02
