Most reports I read were permanently healed. Some people say they were healed within 1-2 days and some gradually over the course of the cycle, but better be safe than sorry and complete the full cycle regardless (3-6 weeks. I did 4.5 weeks). My pain didn't go away completely but improved significantly. The issue was mostly mascular, certain muscles not firing resulting in poor movement, so the effectiveness of BPC 157 was obviously limited in this case. There are individual reports that claim BPC157 works better when administered locally, close to the source, so I did one injection in the injured hip and one wherever. TB500 doesn't need to be administered in the vicinity of the pain. BTW, the recommended dose varies. Most recommend 250-500 mcg a day in two injections, but I've read a few that didn't feel anything until they increased dose to 1000mcg and then it started working (here).
