Joints & back pain, sciatica 11627...India
A 60-year-old woman was suffering from pain in all joints and back and sciatica for the past 20 years. She took prescribed painkillers for the first few years but, as they gave her hardly any relief, discontinued them except when the pain was excessive. She noticed that mental stress aggravated the symptoms.
When she approached the practitioner, the pain in the joints was bothering her the most. She was not taking any medicine for this. On 1 Mar 2020, she was given:
#1. CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC20.2 SMJ pain + CC20.7 Fractures...6TD
After three days, she conveyed that pain in her hip joint had increased but was bearable. As this was most likely to be a pullout, the remedy was continued for a long time. However, the improvement was marginal. The practitioner eventually decided on 21 May to enhance #1 to:
#2. CC3.7 Circulation + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC20.1 SMJ tonic + CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue + CC20.5 Spine + CC20.7 Fractures + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions...6TD orally and in mustard oil for external application…BD
Within two days on 23 May, there was 75% improvement in all her pains! The dosage was reduced to TDS.
The patient continued to improve steadily and by the end of Sept, all her pains disappeared, except for occasional mild pain in the joints, only when she was mentally stressed. In Dec 2020, the dosage was tapered down to OD for maintenance.
As of Dec 2022, the patient continues at OD as she still gets occasional mild joint pain but she has been free of all other symptoms.
