I don’t know how many of you have heard of Carralax, but it’s done miracles for my lower back pain. Sorry for the long post, but I felt it was necessary to give context as to how long and why I have back problems.
About 20 years ago. I was in a four-wheeler accident racing ATV motocross. It was a pretty bad crash and I was thrown from the ATV a good distance. It was a 95ft jump I came up short on. I was momentarily paralyzed from the waist down, I couldn’t feel my legs or feet at all. But after 30 seconds to a minute, the feeling started to come back into my legs. They got tingly and then as minutes pass the normal feeling came back. I pretended that there was nothing wrong for a few days, but ultimately found out that I had what they said was a “stress fracture” in my lower back. I wasn’t able to walk normal for about eight weeks. I’d have to use the power chair in stores just to get around.
Well this past February, I was involved in a serious car accident which required extensive surgery to keep me alive. It left me with plates in my chest and five bulging discs in my lower back. The pain in my lower back was significant. I have been on pain medicine since February, just trying to deal with the pain in my ribs from the plating and the pain in my lower back.
I did physical therapy and also visited a chiropractor for 4-5 months after the crash, up through August. That’s when they sort of said that’s about all we’re gonna be able to do for you. So I was let go from physical therapy and sent home to continue to do it alone in a home gym that I had to set up.
I have no health insurance, and with the crash that’s been an issues. So I’ve been trying to rehab myself.
And then enter peptides.
My brother had to have knees surgery in September and he started using BPC-157 and TB-500. Within 2 weeks his knee was already noticeably better and he was already doing rehab, which was completely unexpected by his doctor.
I was still dealing with issues from my accident so I figured I’d look into. With my brother’s success and so many others like him, along with all the positive literature on peptides, I jumped in. (I’m on a protocol now with about 16 peptides but I’m only going to talk about the healing part of the stack. I’ll post more later).
I started with TB-500, BPC-157 and GHK-cu to begin with to see if they would offer and help. I would notice some pain relief, more noticeably the mornings after I took the TB-500 (I was only talking it 3 days a week following my brothers protocol), but it wasn’t something I was too excited with because my back was still bothering me.
But in the first 3 weeks of taking TB,BPC and GHK I was able to stop taking the pain meds for the nerve pain in my chest from the rib plates. But my back bothered me pain meds or not, so I just stopped taking them. I had been concerned about becoming addicted, so I was just going to deal with the pain because it was manageable.
So at this point I’ve been on the TB,BPC and GHK for 4 weeks and I need to restock on BPC as well as a few others. So in shopping around online a came across a combo product mixing BPC/TB/Cartalax in the same vial. I hadn’t heard of Cartalax so I searched for Info about it and found someone on YouTube sharing their experience with Cartalax and how it took his lower back pain away after just 4 injections. Here is his video. https://youtube.com/shorts/EXmaEFZKBJk?si=Hf2pOdK33gKe5mB2 I was skeptical of his story, but the literature shows that Cartalax is good for healing cartilage in the spine (paraphrasing here. Look up the literature on the research of Cartalax). So I found some and ordered 40mg.
For the last 4 nights I have been taking 4mg before bed and I can say with certainty that my in my lower back the tightness and stuffiness as well as the pain from bending over or twisting in any direction that I have had for years, and had gotten worse with the accident, is completely gone. It’s gone during sleep so I’m not constantly tossing and turning and this has shown up on my sleep tracker. It’s gone from the morning when I wake up and have stiffness that makes it hard to get moving and it’s even gone at the end of the day when my back is usually tired and aching.
What the guy in that video said is EXACTLY what I experienced also.
It’s so surprising the my wife, my son and my mother can’t believe how I am able to move and bend my back. I am also surprised with the results because I honestly wasn’t expecting something drastic. If anything I was hopeful but skeptical, I wasn’t looking for it to work rather assumed it was going to similar to TB/BPC but hoped for something better.
But I can definitely say it’s completely change my life because my back has been a big issues and keeping me from being able to return to work. I have since purchased another 80mg of Cartalax. I am going to finish 80mg in 20 days, and then 3 months later take the other 40mg in 10 days as maintenance. And after that I’ll see where I am and potentially go to 40mg in 10 days for maintenance every 6 months.
Hopefully this helps someone with back pain. If you have any questions I’ll do my best to answer from my experiences. Thanks for reading.
