BPC‑157 dosing around PT for my stubborn Achilles tendonitis

Hey all, I wanted to share what’s worked for me with a lingering Achilles tendon issue that’s been bugging me for months. After a few weeks of physical therapy and eccentric loading, the pain would dip but always flare up a day or two later. I decided to try oral BPC‑157 (the arginate salt version) at 750 µg once in the morning and again before my evening PT session. I took the first dose on an empty stomach, then waited about 30 minutes before a light breakfast. The second dose I took right after my PT warm‑up, about 15 minutes before the eccentric work.

For the first two weeks I noticed less soreness the day after workouts and the morning stiffness was noticeably milder. My range of motion improved a bit and I could add a few extra reps before the tendon started to protest. I did get a mild tummy rumble the first few days, but that settled down after a week. Just my own experience, but if anyone else is playing with timing BPC‑157 around rehab, would love to hear what you’ve seen. 👀
