Any personal info on this? If the paperwork is right on this stuff, I think it could potentially help my fibrosis and muscle tightness issues in my calves. I've read quite a bit of an anecdotal reports from other websites including Reddit (reddit, yeah i know) with some positive feedback for what I'm hoping for.
Ordered some B7-33 from MA hoping this helps, improves my ability to run (cardio).
Backstory.....
My calves are ate up with scare tissue. Over the years, I have been to the doctor or a specialist multiple times the past 25 years for "cramp like symptoms" as I am running.
No one can explain why this happens to me.
I can be running at an average pace, meaning I'm not sprinting but it's faster than a jog. At some point during my run either one or sometimes both of my calves will get Charlie horse like knots deep in the muscle that will literally bring me to my knees. Every other year for the past 25 years I've received PT from the end of winter to the middle of spring to get my calves rehab so I can run. I've had your typical PT deep tissue massages, muscle scraping and dry needling. Dry needling worked the best but now it's not very effective. Doctors have ran just about every test possible that's within reason and they cannot find anything that could be causing my issues, including a vein doppler. When the muscle cramps, I get little micro tears in the muscle tissue, which takes weeks to months to heal and recover from. The only thing I can actually come up with through Google searching is this thing called "Calf Heart Attack". Which is a scary term for exercise induced compartment syndrome. Doctors and specialist believe that when I run, the fascia will not allow my muscles to expand like they are supposed to, which then chokes off the calf from oxygen, blood, nutrients, etc.... Which causes a cramp like sensation but it's actually a micro tear deep in the calf.
