You can try this option after backing up your boot sector to see if that gives you acces to your partition.
When talking about trying "this option" I was refering to "Rebuild BS".
After doing so and rebooting/disconnecting and reconnecting your drive you can then try if your are able to open your encrypted Bitlocker partition.

The "p"-key (list files) cannot work with encrypted information.
Therefore Testdisk can't show you the content inside.
