  • Vitamin C

    Hello all,

    My daughter is having surgery March 9th with Dr. Boachie in NYC. My mom is a nurse, and she has suggested that we talk to the doctor about adding vitamin C to her IV, as she feels very strongly it expedites healing. Has anyone heard or read anything about this?

    Thanks, Susanna

    Mother of a 17 year old daughter. Her "S" curve was 40 degree thoracic from T3 to T9, and a 70 degree rotatory thorcolumbar from T9 to L4. She was operated on March 9th, 2005 by Dr. Boachie-Adjei at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. She was fused from T11 to L3, using an anterior approach, and the major curve corrected to 20 degrees. She's doing great!

    Never heard of putting it in an I.V., but I was told to start my daughter on a pill form the day she was discharged from the hospital. I thought it was to help keep her healthy, but maybe it does help with healing, because she is doing great!
