Back pain 11618...India
A 48-year-old software engineer had been suffering from frequent lower back pain for the past 10 years. Stress caused by long working hours and bending down to lift objects would trigger the back pain that would last for 1 to 3 weeks. He took painkillers and did a few gentle exercises but these provided very little relief. At times, he was in bed for 4 to 5 days and took painkillers every day for 3 to 4 weeks. He was always afraid of bending and very conscious of his movements. Additionally, for the past one month he had joint pain in fingers, hands, and feet. He did not want to take painkillers and was desperate for another solution. On 5 Jan 2020, he consulted the practitioner who gave:
#1. CC3.7 Circulation + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue + CC20.5 Spine…TDS
He immediately stopped taking the painkillers. On 13 Jan, he had 20% relief from the back and joint pains; this progressed to 70% by 13 Feb. On 30 Mar, he said that his back pain had increased but felt it was due to longer work hours. Also, he had previously forgotten to mention that he was having bloated stomach for the past six months. So #1 was changed to:
#2. CC3.7 Circulation + CC4.10 Indigestion + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue + CC20.5 Spine…TDS
By 15 Apr, he had 80% improvement in back pain and 50% in bloating. By 14 May, there was 100% improvement in back pain, 90% in bloating and joint pain. By 16 June, all his symptoms had completely gone. He was able to bend down, lift objects and move about with ease. From 2 July, the dosage was gradually tapered down to OW and stopped on 13 Sep 2020.
As of Oct 2022, there has been no recurrence of any symptom.
