Back pain 11648...India
A 44-year-old man had been struggling with lower back pain for the past one year, since Oct 2022. He attributed the pain to his daily 50 km commute to work by motorcycle. Initially manageable with rest and a pain relief spray, his condition worsened in June 2023 when he started using a new motorcycle with a high and narrow seat. The pain would gradually intensify during the day and become severe by the evening; he was not only forced to stop his 4 km daily walk but also he found it hard to enjoy quality-time with his family. Using a heat pad and taking adequate rest at night would give him temporary relief. In early Sept when the pain became unbearable, he consulted a doctor who recommended MRI and an oral painkiller. However, following the advice of his doctor friend, he refrained from immediate MRI and took U0000ltracet (containing opioid) for severe pain. This gave him relief in two hours but the pain did return soon after an unavoidable motorcycle ride. On 20 Oct 2023, he consulted the practitioner who gave him:
CC10.1 Emergencies + CC20.5 Spine…TDS and in mustard oil for external application…BD
In just three days, there was 20% relief from pain even though he took the remedy only at BD because of his work schedule. By 3 Nov, there was 50% improvement, also he switched to a motorcycle with a broad and low seat. On 30 Nov, he joyfully reported 80% relief. After just a ten-minute rest in the evenings, he could relax and enjoy with his family. He did not need painkillers or heat pad since starting the remedy.
From 28 Dec, he missed taking the remedy for a week during which pain recurred. Five days after resuming the remedy on 4 Jan 2024, he was back to 80% relief. This progressed to 100% by 16 Feb when the dosage was reduced to OD and external application stopped. He could now resume his daily walks and motorcycle commutes without pain.
As of 3 Apr 2024, there has been no recurrence of pain but he continues at OD for his comfort. He is so happy with his own cure that he has been taking remedies for the relatives in his village.
Patient’s testimonial (slightly paraphrased for clarity):
I kept postponing to consult the practitioner for my back pain but only after starting the remedy did I realise that had I taken it earlier I would not have suffered so much. The remedy did wonders when I took it for severe pain, I respect it immensely and have been strongly recommending it to others. I am also encouraging my friends to become practitioners.
