clicking for a year. finally got supply lined up and committed. 250/250 BPC/TB subq near the joint, 5 days on 2 off, six weeks total. baseline measurements: press pain is 4/10 (sharp at lockout past 185). internal rotation ROM limited, abduction limited. doing banded work and a hard press deload to create room for the protocol to work if it works. week 4 checkpoint: if pain doesn’t drop or ROM doesn’t improve, i’m back to the ortho. not extending, not doubling. wife’s logging daily pain scores. measuring what changes.
