How long should I keep taking oral BPC‑157 after a tibial plateau fracture rehab?

I just finished a 12‑week rehab after breaking my tibial plateau in a slip on the wet road inside the mall and I’ve been injecting oral BPC‑157 (500 mcg twice a day) for the last six weeks. My physiotherapist suggested I might want to cut back if the swelling has gone down, but I’m not sure when it’s safe to stop because I’ve noticed the joint still feels a bit stiff after the final session. I’ve read that BPC‑157 can help with cartilage repair and reduce inflammation by upregulating VEGF, but the guidelines on duration are fuzzy.

In my case I’m also using a small dose of G extrait from GHK‑Cu cream for the skin around the knee but not the KPV peptide yet, and I’m wondering if adding a 200 mcg daily KPV injection might help cut the inflammation faster so I can stop the oral BPC‑157 sooner. I’ve seen a few thread posts about a 6‑week protocol but no clear cut‑off. What’s the usual time window you all use before tapering off BPC‑157, and how do you decide if the joint is ready for the next phase? Also, any tips on how to integrate a KPV injection into the routine without overlapping too much?
