Changed email account & question

[Guest guest]

Hi you guys:) I changed my email from att to comcast, so I have been

bouncing for two days. I shut that down on purpose, but I didn't it

would take effect till today. Wrong...

I could use some help. Please bear with me and read this. I never got

sufficient treatment on this, but am okay. I am dealing with this on

my own due to lack of insurance - and I will have that soon. It could

have been alot worse, trust me!

Anyhow, I have to ask you if you have any thoughts about the

following. I was hit by a car two years ago. One of the things that

happened was that my shin got caught between the door frame and the

door. I was standing outside the car with the door open. This car

couldn't help but hit me - he slid down a hill out of control and I

didn't see him coming to get out of the way. Basically his car bounced

off my door with me in the middle, standing on the ground like when

you first get out. I was facing the rear of the car. Flash blizzard.

Anyhow, the injury was wierd. It looked like I had a couple of bullet

holes that didn't bleed much. They could run instruments deep inside

toward my ankle and I couldn't feel it. Freaky! I know there was nerve

damage that still hasn't healed all the way. Tissue was destroyed

where it actually made contact with the frame so there are track marks

forever now! Weirdest thing though, is tha the shin bone split in the

middle, the long way. There is about a 6 inch long section where the

bone separated - at the time they saw it as a hairline crack, but

never did anything to treat it. Didn't even tell me to wear a Ted

sock...sigh...hurt more than my face...broke my jaw..had that all

wired for a while. Wierd also are the numb areas.

??

Today, when I stand on that leg for any length of time, that middle

section bulges out. The problem is though, at night especially, the

outer side of my leg cramps like you wouldn't beleive. Its the most

intense cramping. I have tried alot of things, but last night I put a

menthol patch on it and got back to sleep.

I know that you can buy menthol...had a friend who gave me some

crystals and I have it here somewhere. I'm thinking about making some

sort of a cream or something to use. I also had a friend make me

something she whipped up with Arnica in it and it was really nice

during all of the initial healing. It's all gone now.

Does anyone have a good recipe you'd be willing to share? Or...just a

good product I could buy from you?

I'm serious. I've used Icy Hot. I've used the Bio-whatever stuff they

give you at the Physical Therapist from a rotorcuff injury...they were

okay, but. ...The patch I used said it had 5% menthol. Do you think

that means that it was 5% of the total formula or does menthol somehow

come in different strengths pharmacutically? (sp?)

I am getting insurance soon thank God. But I still respect the home

alchemists:)

Any ideas? I would appreciate them alot. I also appreciate you're

taking the time to read. Bottom line I THINK is nerve damage and that

my leg is trying to re-route the support system in my leg.

OUCH!

TIA

Hi nancy -

Using topical creams to help the severity of your injuries is probably

close to pointless. Major nerve and artery damage should be treated by

oral supplements and surgery. You can top those off with creams, but

best to do it with ingestibles. I would suggest Magnesium and calcium

supplements as well as potassium for the cramps. If you just looking

to get rid of pain, take an aspirin or ibuprofen or if looking

something topical, look or make a formulation containing vervian herb

or white willow bark , Capsaicin and MSM.

If it were me, I'd take magnesium, calcium, and potassium orally the

formulate a salve with Arginine, niacinimde, grapefruit seed extract

and emu/squalane oil. And take an aspirin and a good vitamin B complex

oral supplement.

Also do hot and cold presses on the area, and get excercise on the area.

My opinion only and though I don't know your entire physical health,

that would be the basic route I'd take.

this may sound REALLY weird...and your injuries ARE so severe that

something topical 'shouldn't' help..

but I've seen a LOT of folks get relief from conditions that are at least

partially nerve related...

a base of St. 's Wort infused oil, with helichrysum italicuum

essential oil ... if possible I'd also add a touch of black pepper

essential oil and lavandin.
