Suggest Medicines To Fasten The Healing Process Post Shoulder Surgery

Posted on Mon, 2 Feb 2015

Question: I had surgery to replace my shoulder. I have been using a Polar Care ,by Breg, to keep the shoulder cold. under the plastic pad though which the ice water is circulated I have developed redness with a blister-like rash. I have discontinued the Polar Care to allow the skin to heal, is there any medication to hasten the healing?

Thank you, XXXXXXX

Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.You did the right thing by discontinuing the offending agent the plastic pad.You can take antiinflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and trypsin/chymotrypsin for early healing.Get them (trypsin/chymotrypsin) prescribed and may continue with benadryl.
Hope this helps and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
