BPC/TB for tendonitis/trigger finger

[Yanksy]

Hey guys,

I have been struggling with hand issues for a while. Tendonitis and trigger finger most likely.I have had a cortisone shot for pain but that is not a long term solution. While my "specialist" has suggested another shot I aim to take matters into my own hands and get an actual treatment moving forward that won’t just cause me more issues (like prolonged cortisone)

I have come across BPC157 and TB500 and I am considering trying that approach (combined Bpc/tb treatment). Has anyone used either for this or similar issues? Your results/opinion? I’m looking at elitepeptides for purchase but do you have a better place?

Thanks for any help!

I can offer little information, but can assure you that you're not alone with that ailment. I'm 68 and have had the trigger finger issue in both hands (the ring fingers) for the last six months and it just seems to get worse and worse. Then on top of it I got a bit overzealous with my workouts and gave myself a case of tennis elbow in the right arm which seems to last forever (going on 6 weeks now) and makes the trigger finger even worse. I understand the trigger finger is relatively common and can be corrected with a simple operation. Is that not the case? May I ask why you wouldn't pursue that avenue?

1st off I want to make clear that there is very little research on these peptide with humans. Quite a lot in animals. There is however quite a lot of observational evidence that has show both peptide to work good in healing. I have used BPC 157 successfully in some pretty good muscular tears (non-surgical) and healed up very quickly., I know so many people that have found the same to be true. Some get nothing. Who knows why until we actually get researchers to actually start doing human studies. But understand that it is much more profitable to do surgery instead. Understand that it can take weeks to months to heal tendonitis depending on the severity.

Here is my suggestion: NuScience Peptides - Peptides Of Unequalled Quality & Purity

I have tried a ton of things on my own and with specialists, including a physical therapist. The issue remains. The only real help I’ve felt is from the cortisone shots but that is not something I wish to do again, at least more than once in a great while.

How old are you? 64 y/o here.

No one knows trigger finger better than me at this point. I have had TF surgery on 7 digits to date. I thought I was amongst the minority of men who get this since it mainly affects older women. I haven't known too many lifters who've complained of it, but perhaps it's more common and guys just live with it.

My surgeries all went well, no pain, all covered by insurance, however, the stiffness and post-op flexion and extension pain still lingers for months but hasn't affected my workouts. The main thing is - the TF is GONE! I got back into the gym and my grip strength came back pretty quickly. My problems now are in my wrist and CMC (thumb) joint and elbows (medial epicondylitis), carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome as well. I believe all of these joint issues are from RSI (repetitive strain injury) that has accumulated over the many years of heavy lifting & gripping.

Corticosteroid injections - not worth the risk; only provide temporary relief and then repeated injections are toxic to the ligaments & tendons which will further weaken them. Few ortho docs will tell their patients that, but tons of studies back it up.

Those peptides are great for post-op healing, I use them and many more for healing and tissue regen myself, but they will not reverse your TF once it's set it. Even PT did nothing to reverse it. Surgery (open or percutaneous release) is the only option. Post-op is open season for regen therapies (peptides + PRP, prolotherapy, stem cell therapy, intra-articular injections of GH, etc.).

I went to a local hand surgeon for the TF. I use Peptide Sciences for my peptides and Regenexx for my non-surgical ortho procedures.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the input. I am, fortunately and unfortunately considering, young. I am 34.

this all started late last year. Started in 1 thumb then the second later on. I play guitar and have been lifting heavy, along with psoriatic arthritis being an issue from time to time. not sure if any or all of that is the culprit but it has been really getting me down. Currently splinted for most of the day on both thumbs to give it some time to heal. I e read that TF, unlike a lot of other issues, does best with some immobility. Using DMSO and will do stretching/excercise regimen after some time to rest them.

My outlook is the same on cortisone. It did help with the first thumb but I do not intend to do that again.

I have never been a fan of surgery. To date I have never went under the knife and I would much prefer to keep it that way. If all else fails I will consider but that will be a last resort. I’m still exploring options and trying my best at figuring it out.
