Preparing yourself or a loved one for surgery is always a stressful time.  There is always the apprehension about the surgery and the whether or not the expected results will occur.  ”Will I be better off, having done the surgery”, is a question we all ask ourselves.  However with a little preparation, you can ease the anxiety and improve the results.

After two surgeries on his broken heel, Calvin Palmer was wondering whether he was better off without the second surgery.  He couldn’t walk without crutches and was reduce to wearing backless slippers to go to work.  He had little or no feeling in his toes, and was wondering if he would ever recuperate and go back to leading a normal life.

In the case of orthopedic or plastic surgery, getting rid of inflammation before the operation is greatly beneficial.  Since arnica montana is a natural non-steriod, anti-inflammatory botanicals, it will reduce swelling in the areas where cream is applied.  It will not affect the rest of your body like ibuprophen.  Elixer Arnica Sports Rub has proven itself to be wonderful in preparing for plastic surgery, since it will reduce liquid retention in the face, thus allowing better cosmetic results.

For post-operative surgery, arnica helps minimize post-operative swelling and bruising, thus improving wound healing, limiting scar appearance, reduce chance for infection, and reducing the pain and discomfort.  Arnica should be put around a wound, but not directly on it since it could irritate the incision.

Luckily for Calvin, help was on the way.  His sister heard about Elixer Arnica Sports Rub ^TM and brought him a jar.  Within minutes he was able to feel a bit of his toes, and was able to put on shoes.  The pain was gone.  And in a week, so were the crutches.  Now Calvin can get back to normal and live his life!
