Back Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone:

 

It has been awhile again but I am catching up on the posts I am into

February now.

 

My brother just called me with some news. He had gone in for back

surgery about 6 months ago and it seemed all went well. But as his

luck always turns out, they found that there were fragments left

behind and another disk went out. Recomendation from the

quacks...opps sorry doctors was another operation. I choked back

tears as I talked to him when he called with that news. I begged him

not to do it, try and find another way to manage the pain. But he

would not hear of it. So yesterday I got a phone call from my

brother. He was out on the street in a wheelchair and says he will

be for the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He was out on the

street because his wife went shopping and the car could not

accomodate his wheelchair. We cried together and of course I did not

say I told you so. But now I am wondering if anyone can recommend

any lotion or after surgery potion that will help him heal and give

some releif of any pain he does have. He says he can stand to do

dishes but then his legs go numb if he stands too long. So how bad

is it really? I can not say. If we lived closer it would be easier

for me to see and feel. He has always been a bit of a hypocondriac

so I can not trust what I hear. But I figure I would try and help as

much as I can to speed up recovery. So If you have something please

let me know, all thoughts are good at this point.

Thanks for the help

He may not hear of it, but I highly recommend getting Reiki to help

with the pain. In the beginning he may need daily treatments and

then gradually decrease. This in combination with some EO to help

relax him will help his pain. I have performed Reiki on a lady who

had disc problems in her back and she said the treatments helped

her.

 

Its a thought.

Hi Barbara,

 

I'm sorry to read of your brothers situation. Geeeze, it's so

frustrating to just allow people to make choices when you know it's

not the best for them. My heart goes out to you, to your brother, and

to all concerned.

 

It sounds as though he's probably not too open to alternatives and my

guess is that he's been prescribed meds for pain control and more. So,

I hesitate to make suggestions. There are certainly some great things

out there for him though.

 

I agree with Michele on the Reiki, and he would also benefit from

Arnica Montana and L-Arginine.

 

My highest recommendation would be to change his thinking and to

utilize the body/mind connection. Visualization is powerful and I

personally find positive thoughts to be the best " medicine " .

 

But, it doesn't seem likely that he's open. I guess you just have to

surrender to the path he has chosen, and say lots of prayers for him.

 

Blessings to you all,

Michelle

A friend of mine who had several back surgeries said

she experienced great relief from......WATER!!

Add 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of good whole seasalt, like Celtic Sea salt, to it.

 

Unrefined Sea Salt is a very different substance from

the chemical sodium chloride.

 

Some people add fresh lemon juice as well for a

restorative electrolyte solution.

 

Speed up recovery with nutrient-dense whole foods

and juices. Good luck!
