Experiences with

Arnica

Does Arnica help, or ice packs? thanks

So for now it lots of hot water bottles, microwave wheat bags and arnica gel again.

I preceeded to take arnica and go on my way. After the wedding we travelled further to see son in SD. I was exhausted, and was feeling like I had a UTI. Fast forward to return home, we unloaded I was having severe pain in my groin,shoulder and hip.

I have had RLS for a few years, have on the whole been able to manage the pain in the legs without medication by walking around at night, massages, arnica or magnesium spray; and taking iron supplements. In May I underwent tests confirming again low levels of ferritin and iron etc.

we're both taking Glucosamine he's got 2 types of knee support arnica gel Glucosamine gel ibruprohen gel 🙄 even tried some decompression exercises Thanks

Tried Voltarol gel and Arnica but they aren’t helping. So looking for some advice. Thanks.

ARNICA MONTANA. They are pellets in a tube. Doctors have patients take them before and after elective surgeries for bruising. I have taken them and they go away fast.

They suggested Arnica and keeping arm raised. Has anyone experienced anything like this? (I’ve had PMR for 6 years and had been on 5 mg pred for 5 years. I was particularly achey recently so am trying 6 mg for l month and l am a bit less fatigued.)

I had a rash appear on the back of my hands to which I applied Arnica. The rash disappeared within hours but the following morning I had an unexpected leakage in my legs. That too lasted only a couple of days. The following week the rash returned on my thighs as well as my hands.

Popped to Holland & Barrett with hubby to get some arnica. After Avocadogate, I wasn't going to chance what he would come back with. According to my Versa 2, I had only walked 0.35 of a mile in total from getting up, to getting back to the car. Gentle, flat, slow walking.

The arnica seems to be tackling the bruising admirably and I salute hubby for his twice daily, dutiful application of it, even though his technique is reminiscent of waxing the car (not quite Karate Kid) but beggars can't be choosers.

I've tried Vitamin E, Arnica, and witch hazel to no avail. I think some of the bruises are about a year old. Thanks!

I took a lot of advice from '101 tips for a happy hysterectomy' – there's loads of great tips in that book - most notably, I took arnica and I have NO bruising! I also drank peppermint tea immediately in hospital and when I got home – my 'swelly belly' and bowels calmed within a week.

I have also been advised that arnica tablets could be very helpful, though I haven’t taken them before.

This topical is called "The Arnica Rub" by NatraBio and should be less reactive than regular forms of Arnica Montana. This product also contains 7 other homeopathic remedies and is useful for speeding bruise recovery in addition to its multiple pain relieving qualities.

I’m taking Co-Codamol (can’t even get out of bed without these) arnica gel and massage. If anyone has any ideas it’d be greatly appreciated. Thank you. X

Arnica cream. * Neck: Wedge a small pillow/cushion under forehead & half of my face, so face-down. (Face-up is a problem because of my palate noise, but sometimes it's OK.) Even better might be a ring cushion with breath-holes... Something like a higher mattress next to yours.

After my shower today I slathered myself with arnica gel. Hopefully this will ease it, but as I said, this is very unusual for me. My right hip aches but that is my worst side with the osteoporosis and this clears up on it's own. I just don't know what to make of it. Take care everyone x

Arnica has been recommended and I always try natural things first but has anyone had any success with it? Thanks in advance :)
