Spondylitis, leg pain 11620...India
A 64-year-old man had been suffering from severe pain in his neck and right-arm since early 2019, so was unable to freely move his head and arm. The pain was particularly intense during morning walks, when writing or performing tasks with his right hand, or turning his head. He managed with rest until June 2020, when the symptoms had worsened. He consulted a doctor who diagnosed him with spondylitis. He prescribed oral pain medication and an ointment, which he used for three months along with a neck collar but there was only minimal relief. He consulted the practitioner on 2 Oct 2020 and was given:
#1. CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC20.5 Spine…6TD for a week and TDS thereafter.
The patient stopped the allopathic medication and reported steady improvement every month. By 12 Jan 2021, his condition had improved by 50% but on 2 January, pain had started in his left leg. He was then also given:
#2. CC3.7 Circulation + CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue…one dose every 10 minutes for an hour followed by 6TD for a week and TDS thereafter.
A month later on 14 Feb, he reported 80% relief from pain in his legs and 90% in neck; he could move his head and arm normally. By 7 March, pain was completely gone. The dosage of both #1 and #2 was reduced to OD and tapered off to OW before stopping it on 8 Apr 2021. As of Jan 2025 there has been no recurrence.
