Agree with tendon_theory. What's your diagnosis — actual sacroiliitis, or "SI pain" as a catchall? If it's mechanical/stability, PT for glutes + core is doing more than any peptide will.

3 weeks is early. Push to 6. SI joint stuff is also weird because the "joint" isn't really healing in the same way a tendon does — chronic SI pain is often stability/mechanical rather than tissue damage. BPC may not be the right tool for this goal.

haven't had a real workup tbh. just been calling it SI pain for years. fair point, maybe worth seeing someone before throwing more compounds at it.

"BPC isn't doing anything" is often a sign that the problem isn't what we think it is. Good instinct to pause and diagnose.

been there on SI stuff. ended up being a glute med weakness that PT fixed in 10 weeks, no peptides required. fingers crossed for you.
