Has anyone done hyperbaric oxygen therapy...

My ex-husband did, many years ago undergo that therapy but it was for a wound on a graft on his leg. It sure helped that. But I don't know anything else about it. It didn't cause him any pain or side effects. But that's about the "expert" knowledge I have, which isn't much I know. Sorry I couldn't be of any further help.

Thanks for the replies...tommycat said:My brother did hyperbaric
My brother did hyperbaric oxygen treatment for brain cancer. He said the oxygen-rich air made him feel better---and that certainly helps anyone.
Pat is going to start treatment tomorrow. 5 days a week, 1 hour in the chamber, for 6 weeks. He is a little worried about it because he feels it is a bit of the beaten medical path. But, I have done a lot of reading on it and if it helps the cystitis, then that is all that matters!0 -

I don't know about the cystitis, but I know a surgeon who always likes his patients to have about 3-4 treatments before surgery, to help with speeding up the healing process. And, heard from patients it is pretty helpful. I have read a lot of positives about hyperbaric. Makes sense.
I'd say go for it.0
