I hope you feel better and heal quickly.

Can someone get you a tube of arnica to put on the injured areas?

It's a safe herbal gel that I've been using on my sciatica for several years, as well as for bumps and bruises. It's not for use on cut or broken skin, though.

It's sold at Vitamin Shoppes and GNC. My supermarket sells it next to the Ben-Gay, etc.
