BPC-157 oral vs injectable for a stubborn achilles tendon, what have you actually felt?

Hey so I am about 6 weeks into dealing with a grumpy achilles, the kind that feels fine in the morning and then screams at me after a short run. Physio is going well but progress is slow, probably because I keep sneaking in extra walks with the dog and not listening when I should.

I have been reading through the BPC-157 profiles on here and I keep going back and forth in my head. The injectable form seems to be what everyone talks about for tendon stuff, but the oral arginate version is appealing because no needles and apparently it still hits the gut and systemic inflammation side. For an achilles specifically, which one have people actually felt doing something?

Also timing question, does it matter if I dose it 30 mins before my physio session or after? Half life is around 4 hours either path it seems. And would stacking it with anything for tendons be overkill, or is BPC-157 alone the move for the first month?

Not chasing miracles, just want to give this thing a proper chance before I consider anything more drastic. Keen to hear what worked for others, even if it is just placebo, tbh placebo at this point I will take.
