Can oral Pentosan Polysulfate help my recurring knee cartilage pain alongside BPC‑157?

Ngl, I've been dealing with a nagging ache in my right knee for the past six months after a minor meniscus tear that never fully healed. I started a BPC‑157 injectable protocol (200 µg daily) about three weeks ago and have felt a slight reduction in swelling, but the deep joint ache persists, especially after long runs.

I read that Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium is used for cartilage protection and can stimulate proteoglycan synthesis, so I tried adding the 100 mg oral dose three times a day. After a week I noticed a bit more flexibility and less stiffness in the morning, though I also got mild stomach upset that went away after I took it with food.

My question is: does anyone have experience timing oral Pentosan with BPC‑157 injections? Should I separate them by a few hours, or take them together? Also, any tips to reduce the GI irritation would be appreciated, no?
