Badly fractured ankles....Wobenzymes and....? NEED HELP PLEASE!

[Guest guest]

My friend sustained very serious ankle fractures nearly a year ago.

He has healed to where he is walking unaided now---he has a steel pin

in at least one of the ankles. It may or may not be removed. He is

still in pain, and cannot run or even walk swiftly. He is youngish---

late 30's, and is still healing.

 

My question is whether there is anything he can do to ward off

arthritis and other degenerative problems as he gets older.

 

One member has already recommended Wobenzymes, which look good, but

rather expensive for taking consistently. My friend does not have a

lot of money, and he has a modest job and a large family.

 

Is there anything else he can do to try to lessen or annul the

complications one might expect from having sustained and healed from

such a serious compound fracture?

 

Thank you for any help.

I would add the tissue salt calc. phos. to my original suggestion.

You can read about it by doing a search for cell salts or tissue

salts. Note that this is not a sodium salt. I think tissue salts are

great, and they helped me heal after surgery.

---Hello Elliot.

I thought Comfrey ointment might help.Its old

English name was knitbone and it has been used for

fractures for many years.

Best wishes

Hi, Chris.

 

Are you saying that comfrey ointment could be helpful now, a year or

so AFTER his bones have been set and healing has been happening?

 

You understand I am looking for something to help nerves regenerate

as well as possible and especially, if possible, to keep him from

getting arthritis, bone spurs, etc as he grows older.

 

Could you clarify, please?

 

Thank you so much for your suggestion.

 

Best wishes,

 

Elliot

Hello Elliot,

Comfrey does have some anti immflammatory action and

is also used for wounds and leg ulcers I don,t know if

it would be useful to prevent arthritis but I think it

would encourage the bone to heal without spurs etc.

best wishes

Chris
