Week 2: Squat pain 4/10. No side effects. Local injection was mildly uncomfortable, bruised slightly.

Meniscus responds surprisingly well to BPC even though it's cartilage not tendon. Keep going.

Week 4: Squat pain 2/10. Hiked 8 miles yesterday with only minor swelling — previously would've been a 4/10 swell.

Week 6: Squat painless. 10 mi hike, zero swelling. Have to consciously remember I have a tear.

Week 8 wrap-up: zero pain on any normal activity. Dropped local injections after week 6 as planned, subq ran full 8. Going to stop both and see if it holds.

Post-cycle 2 weeks: no return of symptoms. Did a steep 12mi loop today, feels fine. Closing this one.

Nice close. These short clean logs are almost more useful than the dramatic ones.
