Knee pain in young boy 11641...India
A 12-year-old boy, a keen football player, had been experiencing knee pain after playing for an hour, for the past six years. His parents didn’t bother much as the boy got relief after resting for 40 minutes. But as he grew up, the pain level increased and so did the resting time.
Since Mar 2021, the pain had worsened and the boy had to rest for more than an hour to get relief but he did not take any treatment. In Mar 2022, his knee x-ray came normal and he was prescribed a painkiller for five days but then, the pain recurred. Later he got selected for the school team but was reluctant to join because of the pain. On 4 Oct 2022, his parents consulted the practitioner (also his Balvikas teacher), who gave:
CC12.2 Child tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue…TDS orally and in sesame oil for external application…BD
Within a week, the pain in both knees was 50% better and the resting time came down to 30 minutes. By 21 Oct, he had 80% improvement and he did not feel the need to take rest after playing. By 10 Nov, the pain had vanished. The external application was stopped and the oral remedy was tapered down to BD to OD and stopped on 25 Dec 2022.
At a review in Feb 2023, the boy has been enjoying playing football without pain and is very happy to be a part of his school football team.
