Test and tendons - Post surgery

I've not read that test decreases collagen synthesis. On the other hand, Var will increase it. Here's a study you may like:

I'm recovering from a partial distal bicep tear myself. My doc scripted me var @ 20 mgs per day to help which I ran for 8 weeks. I'll be banking the rest of the 5 month script. Low dose, sure. Effective, I can only assume so as I'm healing up quite well.

Is var commonly scripted for injury recovery? Or do you just have a really cool doctor lol. Did you run that var along trt?

Burn patients yes. Tendon injuries no. Yes, really great doc. Ran it for 8 weeks. Banking the rest.

I'm currently working out normally except that I'm keeping my weights low and taking it easy with rep range 10~15
My plan was to do Test P 150 EOD to increase muscle mass after going down from 240lbs..I plan on keeping weights where they are today..so I'm not quite sure if this level of test will compromise collagen synthesis? i'm actually not sure if collagen synthesis helps at all with those kind of surgeries, since it wasn't a partial tear that is recovering..

Thanks
