HGH somatropin for injuries

[rooney]

I've been reading up about somatropin HGH and found a few articles claiming it can promote recovery from injuries. I'm seriously thinking about trying it for both a shoulder and knee injury that seem to be taking forever to heal. I've read good things about this stuff, the only negatives I know of are things like carpal tunnel syndrome, bone enlargement etc, but as I understand this is only as a result of long term usage.
I was just wondering if anyone has first hand experience of Somatropin and recovering from injuries,
And as a 25yr old who has never used steroids before, would anyone advise against it? I only intend to use it untill I'm injury free (of course any anabolic effects are more than welcome, but not my main concern!) so perhaps 4-5 months at a low doseage would be all I would need?

IGF-1 would be a better choice than GH--b/c the usefulness of the GH would be the production of IGF-1. (although IGF-1 scares the crap out of me).

But even then, at 25 your healing issues may be related to something else--diet/hormone issues/etc. ask your doc why its taking so long

or try prolotherapy if either injuries permit

Thanks for the reply, I would go to my doc, but anyone from the UK will back this up.. our NHS (national health service) is a joke, I've been on a waiting list for 6 months just for an MRI scan on my shoulder, and still no appointment! Our docs are way behind the times when it comes to hormone/testosterone issues.. only very extreme cases get any treatment, and even then, I think the treatments are way behind what's on offer in the US. I was gonna get a full hormone/testosterone evaluation done privately untill they told me it would cost just under £700! thats like $1370!

So.. as a result, I will be self medicating! I'm sure my diet is good, I dont personally know many people who eat healthier than me, so I can 99.9% its not diet related. I've heard of that IGF-1 before, I'm gonna look it up, why does it scare the crap out of you though!?

From what i've read HGH/IFG-1 do promote recovery from injuries

From what i've read human growth hormone - somatropin - /IFG-1 do promote recovery from injuries

So what sort of dosage do you think would be needed for injury recovery? also should it be injected into injury affected area, in other words should I inject it in or around my shoulder?

doses vary from 2-6 ius per day...
I dont think injecting it in the injury area is needed
