Back pain due to acidity 11508...India
A 40-year-old woman had been suffering from severe lower back pain for the past one year, she believed this was due to hyperacidity. Several times a week, she experienced bloating and gas after her evening meal. She consulted a physician in Feb 2019. She was given physiotherapy and also a gel for external application, for three months, and she had complete relief. A month after stopping the treatment, her symptoms started to resurface. Over the next one month, her backache became so severe that she had difficulty in performing her daily chores. On 15 July 2019, when she consulted the practitioner, she rated her pain at 10/10 and was given the following:
#1. CC4.10 Indigestion...TDS
Just after three days, there was 40% improvement in both gastric symptoms and backache. In another month, 70% improvement was observed. On 21 September she reported she was 80% better, so the dosage of #1 was reduced to BD. However as she had been facing incomplete evacuation for the past one week, an additional remedy was given:
#2. CC4.4 Constipation…TDS
Within two weeks by 6 October, her motion became normal, #2 was reduced to BD for two weeks before stopping. As her back pain and bloating had further improved to 90%, #1 was tapered down to OD. By 9 November, she felt 100% better, so the remedy was stopped on 23 Nov 2019.
