Pain & Weakness in the Knee and Leg 02870...USA
An 80-year-old man sought treatment for continuing pain from a fall that took place one month before (in early August 2015), during which his right leg was injured. He had seen his doctor a week after the accident complaining of pain in the right tibia (shinbone) and right knee, pain radiating from his waist down his right leg, swelling in his right knee, and bruising on his posterior right thigh and leg. An x-ray revealed no fractures. The doctor recommended he wear a knee brace and consult with a bone specialist. The bone specialist recommended physical therapy as both his knees were loosing muscle tone. The patient had been experiencing weakness in both knees or at least 6 months to one year prior to his fall.
On 5 September 2015, the patient was given:
CC10.1 Emergencies + CC20.1 SMJ tonic + CC20.2 SMJ pain + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue + CC20.7 Fractures…TDS
Just four days later, the patient felt a 50% decrease in pain. He also felt his knees were getting stronger so he stopped using the knee brace. Also, he no longer needed to hold onto a railing to pull himself up when going up the stairs.
On 14 September, he went for his first session with the physical therapist, although he did not feel the need to see the therapist, as he was experiencing only some weakness in his right knee but no pain. The therapist put him through a range of motion and weight-bearing exercises but was unable to find anything wrong with his right leg and discharged from therapy the same day.
After three weeks’ treatment (27 September), the patient's dosage was reduced to OD since the pain was gone and and his knees felt 75% stronger than they were prior to Vibrionics treatment. As of 10 October 2015, the patient remains pain-free. He is able to do all his normal activities with ease, which he had been prevented from doing after his accident. These included mowing the lawn, bringing in firewood, and taking out the trash. The practitioner has advised the patient to further reduce the dosage to 3TW for maintenance.
