My TT surgery is in a week and a half. I am using one of the surgeons I used to work with in the operating room because he is meticulous and has always done great work. However, he is very old school and doesn't consider recommending use of any herbal products to assist with wound healing or swelling, such as Arnica, glutamine, arginine, bromelian, vitamin c, zinc, or coenzyme-q10. Has anyone used these safely during their TT process and if so, I would appreciate any input. He blew them off saying you don't need them, but I'm also 48 and want this to go as smoothly as possible since I go back to work as a nurse 3 weeks post. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
