Heel pain, cough & migraine 11633...India
A 65-year-old male had mild migraine on the right side 2 to 3 times a week since 2011; the headache was aggravated by bright sunlight and loud noise. He took paracetamol and got relief every time. After his retirement in Oct 2015, the frequency of episodes reduced to once in two months. In Feb 2021, after recovering from a viral fever for which he took prescribed medicines for five days, he started feeling pain in both his heels at night before going to bed and upon waking up. He simply managed it with daily application of a herbal remedy and by taking more rest.
In May 2021, he tested Covid-positive, so took allopathic treatment and recovered. Since then, the heel pain worsened; the pain at night he managed as before. On waking up there was intense pricking pain in both heels. After walking slowly for a few minutes, the intensity of the pain would come down. Post-covid, the frequency of migraine headaches went back to 2 to 3 times a week and a painkiller provided relief for an hour. He also developed daily bouts of severe dry cough for which home remedies gave only 25% relief. He led an active life with regular walks and yoga. As he was concerned about the potential side effects of frequent painkillers, he sought vibrionics treatment. On 17 Aug 2021 he stopped home remedies and the practitioner gave (refer to Newsletter vol 12 issue 4 for covid-19 combos):
#1. Immunity Booster (IB)…OD
#2. Covid Recuperation...TDS
By 25 Aug, there was 20% improvement in dry cough and as there was only one mild migraine attack, he did not take a painkiller. However there was no change in the pricking heel pain, so #2 was replaced with:
#3. CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue...TDS
By 4 Sep, there was 30% improvement in dry cough and migraine became a thing of the past! As there was still no improvement in heel pain, #3 was enhanced to:
#4. CC9.1 Recuperation + #3...TDS
In the next eight days, he had 50% improvement in dry cough and only 10% in heel pain. Hence #4 was further enhanced to:
#5. CC20.2 SMJ pain + CC20.3 Arthritis + #4...TDS
By 10 Nov, there was 100% improvement in cough, and 85% in heel pain which disappeared by 15 Dec. #5 was reduced to OD and slowly tapered down to zero on 30 Jan 2022.
As of Jan 2023, there has been no recurrence of any symptom. He continues to take #1 at OD and remains well.
