well if you got it i'd go ahead and start taking it at say 2iu's day and you could ramp your way up to 3 and maybe four over a few weeks......i used HGH after a bad motorcycle wreck where i had foot reconstruction and wrist reconstruction, i started the HGH about 2 weeks after surgery.....i think it helped me, but again im no doctor and am not positive, but i know it won't hurt you!
