Post Surgical Problems-Looking for Help

Hello. I am new to this forum, and relatively new to homeopathy, in that I've only used a couple of homeopathic remedies in my life. I am a 51-year-old woman, ten days post operative for Morton's neuroma surgery where the neuroma was excised. The branch nerve was also involved and removed. I am having pain, including, burning, shooting pains, numbness, alternating cold/hot sensations. The typical Morton's neuroma symptoms intensified. The pain is affecting my ability to sleep, is there all the time (rising and falling in intensity), and causing me a great deal of anxiety as well. What homeopathic remedies are recommended? Stitches are still in place, incision was checked by doctor yesterday (who is not a homeopathic doctor). All is well there, and I am ambulatory in a surgery shoe. Any thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

Oh. I neglected to mention the incision is 2' with 20 stitches in the bottom of my foot.

Thanks again.

You may use Arnica and Hypericum as of now. Get them in 200c potencies. Take 2 pills or drops each thrice daily for next 4 or 5 days.

You may also want to get homeopathic Calendula ointment to put on the wound itself for healing.

Thank you. I wasn't sure how quickly I could expect a response, so I had to get out and find something in the interim. I got Arnica, but I don't see a potency listed on it. The store owner told me that I could take 5-6 every 15 minutes for 2-4 hours. and then 5-6 three to four times a day for the next four or five days. I don't see anything on the bottle that says a potency, but I was a little nervous about 5-6, so am going with 1 every 15-20 minutes for the next 2 hours for now. She also recommended Curamin PM to help me sleep at night with the pain and Zyflamend to help with the inflammatory response. I don't know that either of those two are considered homeopathic or not, but I got them and took one of the Zyflamends as well. I will see if I can get the hypericum tomorrow. If not, I may order it from this site. But, I needed something yesterday! Thanks again. Hopefully, this will begin to do the trick.

Okay, it says 10x on the bottle.

Curamin PM and Zflyamends are not homeopathic. They are conventional medicines.

If 10x is what mentioned on arnica, then it's not the right potency. 200c or 200ch or 200ck or 200k is the potency that you will have to use to see good effects. When arnica is used zfylamend is not necessary. Arnica heals from inside and it prevents undue inflammation. In contrast the anti inflammatory medicine just stops the inflammation.

calendula ointment/cream shall be applied twice daily on the surgical site(externally applied). It'll help heal the skin soon without scar tissue.

Thank you again. I will have to order the Arnica at the correct dose. I ended up doing a wet dose with what I have. I did use the Curamin PM last night, and was able to sleep all night. Feeling a bit better today. Pain level has decreased but is still there.
