hello
i've been massaging the soles of mom's feet with my knuckles for a few months, ((mom has shingles and is/was very sick - getting better thank god, albeitslowly -- i'm her chief caregiver)) and the other day, noticed that the knuckles on my left hand got a bit swollen and rather painful.... there hasn't been much change int he condition in the last few days, and was wondering if there was something i could do...?
i've done some hydrotherapy (cold water 60 seconds, hotwater with cayenne 60 seconds alternating) and put some anti-inflammatory ointment on it.... any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.... should i jsut wait? how long will it take until the inflammation dies down? thank you!!

btw, molly, my bottle of castor oil has a little grey floating thing on the bottom... just a puffy cloudy thing in one corner, not a heavy sediment or anything... just wondering if this is normal? useby date is march next year so it should still be good....

WW, I have no idea about your little alien floaty thing. I'm sure it's OK, that stuff lasts a long time. But to be safe, I'd post about your aberration on the Castor Oil Forum.
I actually would only be worried if I was ingesting it, which of course you are not.

This is a reply to # 809,745yes, it both increases circulation and soothes inflammation. pure wintergreen oil will also help. you can find that at your local herb shop, and its less expensive.
remember - if you use anything with wintergreen in it make sure the area is DRY!! if its wet it will burn. you will only do that once, haha!- Re: what to do for overworked swolle... wittlewabbitte

This is a reply to # 809,312How about taking turmeric internally as a supplement? It is anti-inflammatory. You might ask hopinso about this, I believe she has used it before. Anyway, it's just food and very safe - may help with her shingles recovery, too. Just an idea.
Also, eating fresh pineapple - the bromelain is supposed to be anti-inflammatory, too.
The hydrotherapy sounds like a really good idea, keep it up.
The other suggestions you received sound good, too.- Re: what to do for overworked swolle... wittlewabbitte

turmeric?!! it's some kind of a spice isn't it?!!
thank you squeakyclean... i'm making notes... i hope the taste isn't too strong for mom cos since she got shingles in the FACE of all places... (OMG POOR MOM!!!!) there are a lot of complications like paralysis of the face, and her taste buds are all messed up... she can't eat anything with too strong taste... the leftside of her tongue is all weird and makes some food taste intolerable to her.... :-(((((

This is a reply to # 809,312WW -
I have been playing around with essential oils lately. I also suffered from shingles about 5 years ago, and suffered much residual pain from it. Here is something I found (but have not tried) for your information. There's much written about it out there:
http://www.jeannerose.net/articles/shingles.html
I think that she could check into bathing as a delivery system for these oils too.

This is a reply to # 810,080SO SORRY you had to go through shingles as well molly... and glad that you are better...
thank you for sending the info for mom! i'm making notes... we've been getting a bunch of essential oils (got SHINGLES NO MORE from FORCES OF NATURE etc... and jojoba oil really helped her with the itchies... she had unbearable pain at the outset, but that seems to have calmed down quite a lot with all the natural treatments we have been doing... pain isn't totally gone but it's more bearable now, and finally she can sleep at night... however the problem is far from over...
the big problem right now is that mom has shingles of the face and half the face is paralysed :-( and half her tongue is all weirded out and she can't taste food properly -- some foods are intolerable to her in fact....i think it all has to do with the nerves being all out of wack and damaged...
i don't know if there's any essential oil or anything like that out there for paralysis.... i ordered "power point" because i read of someone who had success with electronic stimulation to help regenerate the nerves... we've been going for acupuncture but so far it doesn't seem to help too much... warm charcoal/flaxseed poultice seems to make her feel better so we've been doing a lot of those... every twitch she manages on the left side of her face gives us hope but we still have a long way to go..... she still can't manage to do OP... :-(
anyway thank you for your support!!
