😳 A lot to unravel here, so let’s start from the top…

⚠️ I would not recommend taking experimental peptides with limited human data that you bought off TikTok shop, especially when the quality and purity may be questionable.

💊 Continue taking your antibiotics for the full prescribed course, even if you’re feeling better.  Feeling better doesn't mean that the infection has completely cleared.

🩹 Chronic application of hydrogen peroxide to a post-operative wound can actually delay healing. We don’t recommend it. In fact, most healthcare providers don’t recommend using hydrogen peroxide on wounds at all for similar reasons. For most fresh wounds, 🧼 regular antibacterial soap and 💧 water are sufficient.

🦴 While vibration plates have been shown to help with things like constipation and may even help improve bone density at the right frequency, they’re generally not a substitute for 🏋️ resistance training and 🍗 a protein-rich diet.

💥 I would avoid taking ibuprofen for more than about 2-3 weeks at a time due to potential risks like 🤢 stomach irritation and 🫘 kidney problems. While it can reduce inflammation and arthritis pain, it won’t fix the underlying problem; it definitely won’t regrow your cartilage.

💪 You still should attend physical therapy after joint replacement surgery to get your range of motion back, even if you're already in shape.

🎒 A weighted vest is great for burning extra calories, but simply walking with one doesn’t create enough stress across your bones to significantly improve bone density. 🏋️ Resistance training and 🤸‍♂️ impact exercises like jumping are generally better options.

💻 As for changing your password in Epic… I think that’s something every doctor fears these days.  My current password is now 100 letters / numbers long 😅🔐
