Surgery wound healing - Forearm
Recovery has made a horrible fall down the stairs into an amazing success story! It helped me get the use of my arm and wrist back!
I broke both bones in my wrist 8 weeks ago and had a mini Hoffman apparatus put on (4 pins screwed into the radius bone to traction them back together, joined by a steel bar with wing nuts).
I was told I would have it on for about 8 weeks as I had displaced the radius bone 1/8 of an inch. I was also informed I would likely have arthritis, carpal tunnel etc. due to severity of break. I began taking Recovery, initially in November 2001 for 2 c-section scars. I took Recovery when I got home from a 3 day hospital stay and within 4 hours I noticed at least a 60% decrease in the swelling in my hand. I had not been able to see the hair follicle indentations in my skin, I was so swollen from surgery, the double wrist break and the trauma; after RECOVERY, the swelling was gone. The Hoffman apparatus was removed after only 5 weeks and the doctor said it could have been taken off at 4 weeks, but I could not get a surgery time that week.
I was back to work in 7 weeks instead of the proposed 12 weeks the doctor thought I would be off. I had the top orthopedic surgeon in BC who also treated Simon Whitfield. He was amazed at my recovery time, lack of inflammation at the pin sites and my lack of scar tissue now.
I attribute my success to my determination to heal, a positive attitude, but most of all - RECOVERY.
Anyone who is having surgery, has ever had surgery and has scar tissue, or chronic pain from an injury needs to try RECOVERY. I was a skeptic - I hate taking drugs unnecessarily. I now believe in RECOVERY because my results are truly amazing!
