depends on the surgury... maybe 200 - 300 mg's deca a week, but to really help tendons, ligaments you need HGH for 6-8 months at 2iu's minimum(id go higher personally) also, a couple months after my procedures, i ran a 21 day 1ML cycle of alflutop, waited 4 weeks and ran another 21 days... seemed to work very well with the combo of deca and especially hgh... G/L on the recovery bro.
