Dmso and plates and screws

[Guest guest]

Just my layman's opinion here but seems to me the swelling should

have gone down within days and I worry you may have an infection in

there from when they put in the plates and screws. Have you said

anything to the doctor about it still being swollen?

If you get a fever, run to the emergency room (well, have someone

drive you), it could be serious!

I have never seen any warnings about DMSO and metals.

health food store.?

Several years ago, I used comfrey for my dog’s broken leg.

As often happens with pets, he broke his leg at a holiday time, with no vet to

be found. I took comfrey leaves from the garden, and after my husband and I

set the leg to the best of our ability, I bound his leg in comfrey leaves. I

was absolutely astonished at how well it healed….literally as good as

new.

By the time we could access a vet, there was nothing for the vet

to do that had not already been done. It is an amazing bone healing plant.

It must be going around. I broke my ankle night before last. I am using DMSO and aloe vera on the swelling.

Hi,

I have discovered the painful way that if I don't apply DMSO within seconds

of the injury, before the inflammation hits, it will not do total control,

or less than it could. I carry DMSO gel in my car that looks like roll on

deodorant. I found the need to use it on my sister's hand the other night.

No bruise, no pain, no stiffness.

Doubtful it is infected rather I think it is dead or dying from the

swelling cutting off the blood supply. Pain is increasing and also

some redness. I got a staff infection at two of the blood draw sites

and was put on Bactrum, SMZ-TMP, for one week that cleared that up

and have one more day left. I am not an ER type of person and things

will have to get much worse before I see a traditional Dr. Have an

appointment with my chiro Sat. Have ordered more CS, stupidly ran out

a few weeks ago or would have used that on the staff infection.

Strange thing the areas that are plated are fine, little pain and

little swelling, its just the top of my foot all the way to my toes.

It has always been dead feeling, assumed from nerve damage and

swelling pressing on the nerves. I will start MMS if things seem

worse in the AM, certainly cant hurt. Thanks for your insights. I

really appreciate not dealing with this alone and Hubby I am sure is

tired of me talking about it. Havent seen the Dr in 10 days.

Cancelled my appointment for Mon due to finances and resceduled for

after Jan 1st. May not make it til then, dunno.

If you think it's dead tissue, maybe some protease enzymes and other

would help. The body has a limited ability to make enzymes and they

can get used up while there is still a need for more, even under the

best circumstances. Vitamin C helps the body make more enzymes and

keeps the enzymes active for longer. It has many roles in healing

from an injury. " Vitamin C is vital to the immune system, aiding

white blood cells that attack and destroy cancer cells, viruses,

bacteria, parasites and other pathogens. Vitamin C also promotes

wound healing and acts to control the release of histamine.

Vitamin C is used by the body to produce collagen, used by connective

tissues to give strength and shape to our tissues, such as muscles,

blood vessels, bones and teeth. " from

http://intelegen.com/ImmuneSystem/vitamin_c.htm

Wobenzyme is a good product that is sometimes available in health

food stores; Vitalzyme is another good one that eats certain types of

scar tissue to help tissue repair itself better.

The best protease (protein-dissolving) supplement I've found is Dr.

Houston's Peptizyde. I've never heard of it being used for healing

but it completely breaks down proteins. It was made to do so in the

stomach to prevent food sensitivities to protein chains from

partially digested food getting into the blood if a person has leaky

gut, but I've heard from several sources that if taken on an empty

stomach it will go into the blood and break down any dead proteins it

encounters.

Best wishes. Isn't it 's Law that if something is going to

happen to someone it happens at the worst possible time?

comfrey is called bone-knitter herb. You can take it by mouth. It is also relaxing. Homeopathic arnica helped when I broke my foot.
