does ice help in pain relief if applied to incision after hip surgery??

Question

also does vitamin e oil help to reduce the size of scar??and lsat which vitamins should i be taking or eating to help in rebuiling muscles??
PLEASE ANSWER 1 OR ALL MY QUESIONS

Answer 1

ice will help a little in pain because 1) it's cold and kind of numbs it up and 2) it's a natural anti-inflammatory so it reduces that painful swelling. vitamin e oil will help a little with scarring, but vitamin c (as I've heard, anyways) is another good supplement to take.

as for rebuilding muscles, increase the protein and calcium in your diet a bit, and eat plenty of fruit. supplements are no substitute for all the great stuff fruit has to offer.

also, when i say protein, use chicken or fish, as red meat comes with a lot of spare crap to deal with.
