Neck, shoulder pain 11529...India
A 60‑year‑old woman had been experiencing persistent swelling and constant pain in her neck and right shoulder for five months since Apr 2022. The pain involved both the joint and surrounding muscles and radiated from the shoulder to the upper arm; she was unable to lie on her right side. It interfered with her daily activities and disturbed her sleep. She had no history of neck pain, spondylitis, or morning stiffness. There were no features suggestive of frozen shoulder, and movement of the arm aggravated the pain. The left shoulder remained normal. She could not recall any specific trigger and attributed her symptoms to age‑related degeneration. She took no allopathic medication, relying instead on balm, oil massage and hot compresses and reduced activity for relief.
She consulted the practitioner at a weekly vibrionics camp on 11 Sept 2022 and was given:
CC3.7 Circulation + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue + CC20.5 Spine + CC20.7 Fractures…QDS
Treatment progress:
- 20 Nov 2022: Pain decreased by 40% and swelling by 60%; also gave the remedy in mustard oil…TDS for external application.
- 19 Mar 2023: Swelling resolved completely, pain improved by 80%; oral dosage reduced to TDS and external application to OD.
- 11 June 2023: Pain gone completely, expressed happiness and gratitude; oral dosage reduced to OD and external application to 3TW.
- 12 Aug 2023: Treatment stopped.
Note that patient was in regular contact with the practitioner; however, the progress was slow but steady.
As of Apr 2026, she remains pain-free and is now taking treatment for her skin condition.
Editor’s comment: Experience shows that external application is just as important as oral ingestion and so, it should be started right at the beginning of treatment. Also, its frequency should not be reduced until complete relief is achieved.
