I suffer very much pain in connection with very slow healing leg wounds caused by a “thyroid gone wild” that my then doctor failed
to notice. That MD is no longer my physician and the thyroid itself is no longer a part of my body, but the wound and/or nerve related pain is
very much a reality.
I cannot, nor do I want to take those very strong pain medications that are available by prescription. They work – but you pay a price: being dog tired all the hours of your day. That’s no way to live.
So, what am I left with? At present, Ibuprofen and/or Excedrin. Two of either one or the other of them every 6 to 12 hours according to need.
Sometimes they work, at other times they don’t.
Is there a better way? One that I have not found yet, nor heard about?
Hi Michael, Here are two other possible options which are natural:
1. I wonder whether you have or would consider vitamin and mineral supplements? I ask because your thyroid is part of your endocrine system and it LOVES vitamins and minerals. Often thyroid surgery leaves a very small part of the thyroid. Perhaps that happened with you?
Whether you have a sliver left or not, supplements will help support your whole body and the rest of your endo system (all parts of the endocrine system work together–as does your whole body). I have not had personal experience with wound healing as a result but bodies do heal when we give them everything they need.
Please go to http://TooPoopedToParticipate.com That woman is very knowledgeable and I have learned a lot from her. If you sign up for her free emails, she will send you great info once a week about just one of these little powerhouses. She’s a fun read, too. Kind of sassy.
2. Also, you may find relief from massage. Massaging the area OUTSIDE of a wound increases circulation and aids in healing. You might also find it helps with the nerve pain. Go the Categories here on the right hand side and scroll down to the Massage Category. There you will find articles about how to choose a massage therapist. You can also do your own massage if you are able to reach the wound or painful areas easily.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to write again.
