Achilles tendinopathy at month 5, BPC subq vs oral making a real difference?

Ngl i'm at the point where i'm questioning everything about my rehab. Had a grumbling achilles for like 5 months now, started as post-race overload and just never fully cleared. Been doing the boring stuff, eccentrics, isometrics, slow return to running, all of it. Progress is there but glacial.

Ran a wolverine stack (BPC + TB-500) for about 8 weeks and i think it helped early on, def felt less angry in the morning. Ran out, took a break, and noticed the stiffness creeping back in. Now i'm thinking about layering in oral BPC on top of a second injectable round since i can feel the tissue still being irritable on hard days.

For anyone who's dealt with a slow achilles specifically, did you notice a difference between subq BPC and the oral arginate form? I know the oral is supposedly more gut/systemic and less targeted at tendon, but curious if anyone saw real tendon benefit from it vs just throwing it at the stack. Also open to thoughts on whether cycling on/off is dumb vs just running it longer. Bloodwork all clean, no other red flags.
