Mrs. Peel said:Not to scare you but a friend of a friend ended up having her legs amputated below the knees from a reaction to heparin.
Geeze! That's horrible!
I remember that when the doctor told me I need heparin (at which point I had not yet read anything about it) in order to avoid thrombosis, I immediately thought 'No way!' and asked whether that was really necessary. His whole demeanor, body language, mimics, clearly stated how very necessary it is; because the danger of thrombosis was very high, he said. And it's mind-boggling how, after years of having learned about the corruption of science generally and the downright danger of conventional medicine, I was hooked by his fear-mongering, and actually did give myself one injection before reading up on it myself! I mean, come on, what was all this reading for, if I was still open to being manipulated by fear? At least, now I'm having a better understanding of how the patients of the 'gods in white' are feeling, and how they're being played. I don't even have a word to describe what a crime this is - and how very essential to make sure to be knowledgable and self-sufficient and to always, always check everything. Duh!
Just a short update. The DMSO is really working wonders (it's the first time ever that I've used it), it's awesome stuff! The swelling has decreased immensely and I can already put much more pressure on the foot, so that walking with the crutches is not the heavy work-out anymore as it was in the beginning. The ongoing healing of the injury has also been improving the emotional issues that came up so strongly, and has made it much easier to remain aware of them and to not be carried away by them - which makes lots of sense considering how inflammation has a very strong impact on the mind as well.
I had another appointment with the doc. I asked him whether I could resume working by the 6th of December (while that work would be restricted to a sitting position). He hesitated for a while and said "Maybe". He said how the ligament rupture on both sides of the foot, as well as the hematomae inside the bones, is an issue that takes a long time to heal, and if it's not being handled correctly and carefully, involving giving it enough time of a quarter of a year of healing, recurring problems with the ligaments of that foot would probably be life-long. I'm not sure about that. I see that I need to give this sufficient time to heal, but as I said, the DMSO is working wonders, and I would really like to resume work as soon as possible - so if anyone knows anything regarding the duration of such a healing process, as well as the possible remnant recurrance of ligament problems, I'd appreciate your take on this.

Hi Aiming, I had been thinking about your injury and I'm glad to hear that you are doing much better. Health knowledge is not my forte but I got a little experience with injuries. When I was in my late teens I twisted my ankles badly a few times playing basketball. The thing is that I didn't take much care with the first time, so I started playing again before I should, and because it was weak I hurt it again, and so on. Still, perhaps because I was quite young it seemed to heal fast, in a matter of maybe two or three weeks.
Years later in my late twenties I twisted the ankle again really badly doing martial arts. On that occassion I didn't feel if was fully healed until after six months! So I suppose it depends on how serious the injury is. On the other hand I knew nothing of DMSO or diets, and I basically let it heal on its own.
Finally, three years ago I fell off the bicycle and broke my elbow. It was painful but more than that I was very frustrated as I could not afford not to work and I couldn't for at least two weeks. Luckily no bones were out of place and the doc said that I should not have a cast, as it would stiffle the arm, and I should instead try to move it normally without too much effort, so I could soon fake that I was capable of working.
Something interesting is that on the night right after the fall I posted to the groups (forum members) about it and some offered to send some reiki remotely. I accepted without much belief, but to my surprise I woke up the next morning without any pain after it had been so intense! Another curious fact is that this year, as well as two years ago, my elbow started hurting for no apparent reason and then I remembered it was almost to the day of the anniversary of the fall! Apparently my arm remembered. Well, enough of anecdotes. Hope you get well soon.

I don't know if you will be able to return to work by Dec 6, but perhaps your doctor can take another x-ray around that time and decide if it has healed enough.
My girlfriend used DMSO on her broken foot and had amazing results. She was told it would take 6 months to heal, but it was only about a month, using 70% DMSO gel. Her story is Reply#322 in the DMSO thread, here.
p.s. I don't know if anyone in your household has noticed the only apparent side effect of DMSO and that is the smell people emit when using it. Often described as garlic or asparagus, kind of like ketones. So you may consider this side effect if you are working in an office. Glad to hear you are healing nicely. Take care.

I have noticed the smell, but luckily, I'm not disturbing anyone with it - at least, there haven't been any complaints so far. ;)
Interesting story about your friend. A broken foot healing within a month is really amazing. Then again, I do wonder whether all that's going on here is us being brainwashed about the duration of healing processes; and given the toxic physical state of most people and the toxic medications given to them, this only reinforces these views.

That's quite a lot of experience you had there with injuries of this kind. As mentioned, for me it was the first time to have such an injury and I was always glad previously that I had been spared. I'm wondering whether these injuries are not always a message to self, given that they result in disrupting the usual flow of all-day life, force one to rest and confront whatever there is to confront. I especially thought of one instance when the C's said in reference to a person dying during an accident, that the awareness is being withdrawn during that moment in some sort of conscious way because of the decision to 'check out' - when normally, this very awareness prevents the occurence of accidents. There have been so many times in my life when I slipped but was quick enough to catch myself, and each time I gave a thanks, for I saw that if I hadn't caught myself, this could have been a really bad accident. And this time, the usual 'awareness' was absent.

Interesting about your body remembering, while at the same time not surprising. It would imo also be interesting to check with yourself whether your arm's rememberance was linked to a re-emergence of the specific theme at the time of the accident. In any case, thanks for your anecdotes. I've realized that my urge to get back to work as soon as possible was just another mask for avoiding to look into the reason for why it happened. And as it has turned out, I won't be working again by that date. The doc emphasized the need for giving it time to heal properly, and in the context of what I said in the preceding sentence, I've settled with that, and will make sure that it's all fine again before I'm back to work. I am lucky that my employer is understanding, which is not a given. As of now, I can put almost all the usual weight on my foot, but I'm wearing a splint now, which means I also have to train the specific muscles which have atrophied.
