TB-500 + BPC-157 timing around PT, what actually worked for my Achilles?

Tore my left Achilles last spring, partial tear, did the whole rehab thing. Started TB-500 and BPC about 4 weeks in once the acute phase calmed down.

The thing I'm curious about is timing. Loading was 2x/week and I kept PT on the same days, then moved to maintenance once I was walking normal. Seemed to make a difference when I pinned close to a session vs the day before. Hard to say if that was real or just me wanting it to be.

I'm like 9 months out now. Tendon still feels "thick" if that makes sense. Not painful, just not the same texture as the other side. Mobility is fine, single leg calf raise is back. But I notice it on stairs sometimes.

Has anyone run a longer maintenance phase for stubborn tendon remodeling? I keep reading about actin upregulation and cell migration with TB-500 and wondering if a slow low dose for another couple months would actually help the remodeling finish. Or am I past the window where it does much.
