a worsening pain trajectory after exposure is a temporal association, not proof of causation. the part i’d want to untangle is whether training load, rehab changes, or the tendon’s baseline course shifted at the same time—otherwise “on bpc-157” can make coincidence look causal.
Tendon pain often lags behind the activity that aggravated it, so the timing alone may not show whether BPC-157 caused the worsening. I’d also look at recent changes in training load, pain the following morning, and whether any other rehab or medication changed around the same time.
That timing is the part worth paying attention to, but it doesn’t prove BPC-157 caused it. I’d be more interested in whether the worsening started immediately or only after a change in training, activity, or rehab.
Could be coincidence. Tendon pain can flare from changes in activity or rehab, so the timing alone doesn’t prove BPC-157 caused it. Were there any other changes around the same time?
could be coincidence, but worsening pain after starting it makes “it’s helping the tendon” a pretty hard assumption to defend. tendon symptoms can also flare from activity or the underlying injury, so the timing alone doesn’t prove causation either. i'd be more interested in whether the pain changed with training/load at the same time.
Tendon pain often lags behind tissue changes, so worsening after starting BPC-157 doesn’t establish causation—correlation is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
The timing alone doesn’t prove BPC-157 caused it—tendon pain can fluctuate or lag behind the original injury. Still, worsening after starting it is worth taking seriously.
That’s not a coincidence I’d casually dismiss—the pain getting worse after starting it is the most interesting part. Could be unrelated timing, but “healing peptide” clearly doesn’t mean every tendon reacts favorably.
I wouldn’t assume it’s just coincidence, but worsening pain by itself also doesn’t prove BPC-157 caused it. Tendon symptoms can fluctuate with activity and loading, so the timing is worth noting without drawing a causal conclusion from one experience.
the worsening pain despite using BPC-157 is the part that stands out most—especially since people often expect the opposite. Could be coincidence, but the timing is definitely worth tracking rather than assuming it’s helping.
