Arnica, to use or not to use?

Bones, joints and muscles

hi Hippys.  Have any of your taken Arnica before your op and if so did it help?  A surgeon told my husband years ago to take Arnica pills two weeks before his op and for two weeks after as this helps healing.  This advice may now be obsolete.  I have also used Arinca gel (QVC) for years now on any aches, sprains, bruises and it is very effective.  Many nights I have used this on my knees to relieve pain.  It is so cooling.  I wonder if this could be used around the scar area.  Any thoughts please?

Hi I took homeopathic tablets one of which was arnica tablets I took them before and after the op and along with other tablets and I can say without a doubt they were beneficial I had virtually no swelling around the wound at all in fact I've had no problems with the wound or scar

I am taking Dr. Vogel night time tablets but had to discontinue one week prior surgery - make sure they know that you are taking these pills ---

I used Arnica on my belly for the bruising and also around scar after staples were removed ...

Took arnica, staphysagria and symphytum had virtually no bruising

I was given

arnica one just before the op and one asap after and then 1 3x a day for 5 days and then gradually reduced.

hypericum for nerve pain/incision (same dosage as arnica)

staphisagria incision pain / feeling of invasion

phosphorus. One before op and one after for any anxiety about the op

nwx vom for nausea And constipation 

i had had a consultation with the homeopath about 3 weeks before she had had the same operation which was helpful. If it wasn't for this pain I'm getting now I would have sailed through this.

hope this us helpful
