    Create an environment in your household where she feels comfortable spending time with you. Dealing with injury is stressful; not only for you but for her as well. She might already know that the main reason you want her to come over is to help out around the house (not exactly fun, but something she should do anyways.) If she can sense that you are angry with her, or that there is already tension between you, that is more reason for her to stay away.

    I’d recommend enticing her over with something fun to do. If possible, get out of the house and do something you both enjoy. Invite your daughter and her husband over for dinner (order some delicious takeout). Try to relax so that she enjoys spending time with you. I guarantee that once you two create a stronger bond, she will ~want~ to come over and spend time with you by helping out around the house.

    As far as your injury goes, I have a good deal of personal experience with injury and might be able to offer some game-changing advice. If you are frequently in pain, your nervous system is frequently being overloaded and your adrenal glands are being over-worked. If this continues for long enough, your adrenal glands will eventually become fatigued (from your writing, this sounds about right). If you aren’t in too much pain, go for some physiotherapy. Try and go for a massage at least once a month. If you can afford it, see an osteopath (they are excellent when it comes to healing your nervous system). Avoid alcohol, stimulants, and other drugs at all costs as they are very taxing on your adrenal glands and your body will be less able to naturally deal with the pain.

    Tomorrow, go out and buy some liquorice tea (my favorite brand is Yogi tea). Liquorice stimulates the adrenal glands and is absolutely amazing when it comes to healing adrenal fatigue (you may want to talk to your doctor or a naturopath about adrenal fatigue and getting your cortisol levels checked). Also, get some Arnica cream (amazing for healing damaged tissue/muscles).

    If anything, you ~must~ get yourself some liquorice tea and some Arnica cream. It will bring you incredible relief. Also, as far as other vitamins go, you should already be taking a Vitamin D every day, as well as a Vitamin B-complex (essential for stress), as well as a lovely supplement called 5-HTP (it is a naturally produced compound in our bodies that our body converts into serotonin and melatonin. 5-HTP is can really help with emotional well being).

    Good luck! And let me know how everything goes. The future is bright.
