The physical exam is the key differentiator for understanding why pain is present. It’s not perfect and it has it’s flaws, but it’s a crucial piece.
Accurate chronic pain treatment hinges on a thorough physical exam, not just imaging, to connect symptoms to their true source and guide effective therapy.

How come it's gotten so rare to get a physical exam. I have had multiple doctors tell me to tell them what to do. I'd say do a physical exam and use your training if I thought they cared enough to even be mildly capable. How do you find someone to help with such little adequate resources and while you're in so much pain?

Right I have yet to find a doctor that expresses any real curiosity. I understand the system restricts their ability to do so but it really leaves behind people with complex/chronic issues.

True. Drs in Uk never actually touch their patients. So frustrating.

It's the same here in the US for the most part. Sad

would bpc 157 arginate salt at 500 mcg taken orally in the morning on an empty stomach be effective for tendon pain and muscle strains ? more specifically a torn labrum in the shoulder?

Hi Doc. Do you have any advice on where to get oral bpc 157? And side effects for it? Etc

We use the BPC-157 capsules from InfiniWell as they use the arginate salt. To help out, we have a 20% patient discount code on our website regenerativeperformance.com/supplements (code is RP20). Once on that website, click the InfiniWell link, and then choose the product labeled 'BPC-157'. When you hover over the product, you will see it says 'Original Formula' above the ingredient box). This is the version that does not have SNAC, which we find works better. The most common starting dose we use with patients is 500mcg, once per day on an empty stomach. The time of day doesn't really matter in our opinion. We normally have patients take BPC-157 for at least a month to determine if they see improvements, but sometimes it takes longer to see effects as tissue healing takes time. We then have patients continue on the BPC-157 for several months, and then we might trial taking them off to see if their symptoms remained improved or if they regress. If they regress, we put them back on it. As for side effects, we have only had one patient use this product and notice some mild constipation which resolved when they stopped.
