PMR vs ARTHRITIS in your knees

Can you really tell the difference between these pains in your knees - PMR vs Arthritis?

My PMR is finally in my knees (after being everywhere else.) But I too have bad knees with grinding and clicking but managing ok. Just went to my PC who suggested BPC-157. Anyone hear of this or experience with taking it?

@gailg I took BPC 157 for awhile in my years prior to PMR. I had knee replacement and thought I would try peptides. I took it with CJC 1295. I had it compounded at a pharmacy ordered through my Dr. I took both for about a year. It got hard to get both medications due to non-FDA approved. I had my IGF levels checked when I started and when I finished. They were up slightly. I decided it was not worth all the hassle. Plus I could not tell it was making any difference. Although I had no reaction to either as well.

@gailg I have not, but I humbly suggest trying PT before adding more meds. I've been pleasantly surprised by how many aches PT has helped with.
