Acidity, leg pain 11633...India
A 60-year-old woman approached the practitioner seeking treatment for her acidity that caused belching, discomfort in stomach and hunger pangs she was having for the past ten years. She had work related tension until her retirement two years ago. She had gained 5 kg weight since then. She also had heaviness in her legs accompanied by pain in the calf muscles for the past five months and that was bothering her the most. In addition she had 4 to 5 bowel movements a day and tiredness for the past four months. She was not under any medication except for an antacid she took when the acidity was severe.
On 26 Aug 2021, she was given the following remedies:
For leg pain:
#1. CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC13.1 Kidney & Bladder tonic + CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue...TDS
For Acidity:
#2. CC4.2 Liver & Gallbladder tonic + CC4.10 Indigestion + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic...TDS
As the patient was staying in a far off place she was given both #1 and #2 with an instruction to start #2 after there is 50% improvement in calf muscle pain.
After ten days, on 5 Sept, she had 80% improvement in heaviness in legs, pain in calf muscles and 50% in belching, discomfort in stomach and hunger pangs. Her bowel movements came down to once or twice a day even before she started #2! As her condition improved she felt relaxed and energetic. #2 was started on 21 Sept. On 23 Sept, she revealed that she had sores on her lips for the past one month. She was given an additional remedy:
#3. CC11.5 Mouth infections + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions...TDS
Within a week her sores had completely healed, after which #3 was tapered down and stopped. On 1 Nov, she informed that all her problems have been resolved. On 18 Nov, #1 and #2 were tapered off and stopped on 15 Dec. As of June 2022 she continues to be well.
