Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hey. I'm sending this to you privately too, in case is still messed up. Although, he might be feeling fine by now? Apply heat. Heating pad, hot water bottle... Have you ever done fomentations? I'm just learning about how great they are. Fomentation: In a large kettle boil about 2" of water. Place large towel or hand towel in kettle out of water to get steamed. (Wool clothes work best, but use what you've got.) Have a bowl of ice water handy!! Have him lay on his back. Place a dry towel over where the pain is. Carefully place a hot towel over the dry towel - lift out of kettle w/ tongs so as not to burn yourself. Place over the dry towel - lift up almost immediately and rub quickly with a handfull of ice water on the skin then put towel back on him. Be prepared to do the ice quickly and stay by him this is HOT. (I watched it done and did it on DH a week ago.) Keep the towel on for 20 minutes and then repeat with another hot towel. KEEP ICE BY ART! Since it's on his abs he'll be able to throw it off quick if too hot - I did it on a back and you got to be prepared with ice. Can't stress that point too much. Instructor did this on someone with a persistant cough and it went away. Says it works on pneumonia (sp?) too - applied to chest, of course. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU TRY THIS SO NO ONE GETS BURNED!

Sorry to be so graphic, but i hate seeing him in soo much pain. He seems scared. Any help would be great. Thanks Stuck avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
