Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 have you tried ice. i freeze wet towels, and then they can take the shape of a knee. frozen peas work well. apply ice several times a day for 10-15 min or so. it seems to me that the swelling on my dad's knee took a long time to come down too, after surgery. the knee was so painful at first. i would ask the doctor for some pain medication, narcotics. doctors should not allow people to tough out the pain - it's inhumane. i don't know if adrenal cortex would help. cortef would. linda j > > My husband had knee surgery on Tuesday and was supposed to be up and > around in 3 days and instead his knee is still the size of monster > grapefruit.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Check this out - sounds like a potent anti-inflammatory. http://www.butterflyenzyme.com/ Olin Bob's Water & Septic LLC jolin@... Urgent: Need post-op help My husband had knee surgery on Tuesday and was supposed to be up and around in 3 days and instead his knee is still the size of monster grapefruit. He has ulcerative colitis so cannot take non-steroidal antiinflammatories and has arsenic toxicity as well. I assume one of these is the culprit regarding his frequent overblown inflammatory response to physical trauma. The docs are not listening regarding our request for steroids and I am at a loss as to what to do at this point. (I have arsenic/thallium/mercury toxicity and have an overblown response to trauma as well) Would adrenal cortex extract be of any help in this instance? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Arnica is a good homeopathic remedy for trauma. You can get the small tablets to take orally as well as cream or oil to rub on the swelling. You could also dissolve the tablets in oil or water to rub on the area as well as taking them orally. Keep it away from the surgical cut as it burns on open wound. > > My husband had knee surgery on Tuesday and was supposed to be up and > around in 3 days and instead his knee is still the size of monster > grapefruit.
