14 yr old daughter tc surgery questions

[Guest guest]

Hi:) Our 14 yr old daughter just had tc surgery at TCI on December 17

and we were wondering if anyone had any insight for us as to when

anyone started seeing improvement. She had urinary issues, bowel

issues, stomach cramping & headaches that were hopefully going to be

relieved by the surgery. I know it is probably too soon and that all

of the nerves have to heal but I wanted to know when we can hopefully

see some improvement. She is getting frustrated.

Thanks so much!

Hi ,

I had TC surgery in January '07. I started noticing marked improvment of my

TC symptoms 3 months after surgery, when the post surgical swelling started to

go down and I had some physical therapy under my belt. Use some ice packs on

her back a few times a day and have her take a suppliment called arnica montana.

It will help reduce the post surgical swelling. Arnica is widely used in Europe

and Dr. B even approved of me taking it. It is a homeopathic suppliment that

can be found in your local health food store.

Good luck to you both
