Hey everyone,
I’m 23 years old, 6'0" (1.84m), and for over two years I struggled with chronic knee pain. It started after a mountain run when I was around 96 kg (~212 lbs). Ever since that day, I had a constant stabbing pain in my knee (mainly on the inside/medial side). I couldn’t do leg training for months, and even later the pain always came back.
I tried pretty much everything: magnet therapy, cortisone treatments, sauna, stretching, mobility work – nothing brought lasting relief. After two years of this, I finally came across peptides. About two months ago, I decided to give them a try.

BPC-157
- Typical dosage: 250–500 mcg per day, split into 1–2 injections
- Injection method: subcutaneous into the tissue around the joint (never directly inside)
- Rotation: inject at different spots around the knee to avoid hitting the same area repeatedly
- Effect: works slowly; on its own I didn’t notice dramatic improvements, but it likely laid the foundation for healing
TB-500
- Loading phase: 2–2.5 mg per week (split into multiple injections) for 4–6 weeks
- Maintenance (optional): 1–2 mg every 1–2 weeks
- Injection method: subcutaneous or intramuscular (systemic effect, not just local)
- Effect: after ~2 weeks, pain reduced dramatically and mobility came back
Results
- Currently pain-free
- Can squat and train legs normally again
- Kept up some sauna, mobility, and stretching work on the side (nothing extreme, but consistent)
Takeaway
- BPC-157: slow and subtle, sets the stage for recovery
- TB-500: the real gamechanger, brought the breakthrough
- After 2 years of no real progress, I’m finally back to full training without knee pain
