Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hey everyone, Just to introduce again, I am still pre-op (trying to set a date some time soon). I'm going to have upper advancement and lower reduction (bad underbite) and miiiight have the chin thing done, depending on the cost and if insurace covers... Anyway, I dont know if any of you know about Arnica tablets. Most people know about the normal store bought little tablets, but apparently those don't work because theyre simply not strong enough for something like surgery. While searching the net, I came across www.alpinepharm.com they have developed stronger form of Arnica for people who have just had surgery. Check out the site and all the interesting things that have been mentioned in favor of it. I still want to ask my surgeon what he thinks of it though. One problem might be that since its in capsule form, how am i supposed to swallow it!? I wont be wired shut, but I'm not sure if I will be able to fit a tablet in there (any of you 'non-wired' ones know?). I'm really worried about the swelling and bruising post-op because althought i had no bruising when i had my lower wisdoms removed, I did have swelling, which was not pleasant. In addition to those tablets, which I plan to purchase, I have an Arnica cream rub, has anyone used this? I'm a bit afraid that it might cause me to break out or something. Anyone have any suggestions on that? Pleeeeease let me know what you all think about this. Thanks, Tas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
