Burning backpain: Need help plse
Dear DoctorsI'm 36 year old female, married with 2 children.
For the past 2 years I've been experiencing some back problems. It started with some heat in my lower back, moving gradually to my upperback, chest and ribs, resulting in a burning pain. I also noticed some little red pin prick dots on my chest and stomach area. I've been to numerous doctors and they can't really find something wrong with my back (been for MRI, X-rays and bloodtests). The neurologist prescribed Trepilene medication. After I discovered it is for patients with depression/stress, I've stopped the medication, because it was merely to help me sleep at night and not the pain. I suffer alot and it has an impact on my daily functioning. I had to resign from my job, because I could not cope any longer. Some days the pain is very bad (I can't get out of bed) and some days after being to long on my feet I experience extreme pain. The only relief is when I get in a hot bath and it is also just for a while. At the moment I'm just taking the normal painkillers (Sedinols, Codoxil). I will only use it when it is really necessary.
I would like to try homeopathy. Doctors, would you please advise me.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thankyou.

your remedy is ARS ALB.
please take ARS ALB 30C every 4 hours for a day and stop.
take the doses on the day the pain starts.
observe for next two to three days.
if the pain subsides in intensity or frequency, you should take ARS ALB 200Cduring some 3 to 4 doses during the next episode.

Thanx for your response. I'm new to homeopathy. Can u tell me, will I be able to purchase ARS ALB at any health shop? Is it liquid or tablets ? And also the do's and don'ts while using homeopathy???
Thankyou once again.
Thankyou once again.
butterfly1 last decade
please go to a homeopathic shop and ask for liquid dilutions of ARSENICUM ALBUM 30C.
buy some 15 ml of the remedy either in alcohol or water base.
when you start getting the burning pains, start taking the doses.
take the doses every 4 hours and continue for some 4 ot 6 doses or till the burning pain persists. in any case, do not take the doses continuously for more than 2 to 3 days.
one dose would typically consist of 4 drops of the remedy in some 10 ml of water slowly sipped up in empty stomach and clean mouth.
dont take any food or water one hour before or after the dose. do not even wash your mouth during these times.
as soon as you feel the burning pains are reducing, you may taper down the frequency of the doses and gradually stop.
if you anytime feel that the burning pains have aggravated, you need to stop the remedy at that point and wait for the aggravations to be over. dont get panicked by the aggravation as once the aggravation is over, cure will start.

hi Rishimba
I've managed to get some ARSEN ALB 30C, but in tablet form. Can I use it or won't it be effective as the liquid? And how will dosage be with the tablets ??

liquid remedy work more effectively as they spread out in some water and get absorbed over a larger surface area.
try the pills, they should work too.
take three pills under the tongue as one dose.
maintain all homeopathic restrictions as suggested earlier.

take it first thing in the morning in the bed and sleep on for another one hour:)
next dose after 4 hours in empty stomach..
continue it as long as you dont get a reaction.
but in case you dont get a reaction even after some 6 to 8 doses, you may stop and wait for a reaction for another 2 to 3 days.

take some more doses tomorrow every 4 hours and see if there is a reaction..

I had another 4 doses. I noticed an improvement in my mood. The burning pain subsided, but I experience neck pain since yesterday. Woke up with a stiff neck (could hardly turn my head while sleeping). Do u think this is some kind of reaction? Do I stop and wait for 2-3 days?

i cannot relate your stiff neck with the remedy or cure.stiffneck generally remmains for 48 hours and you shouldnt worry about it much.
if your mood and symptoms have become better, its a sign of cure.
you may taper down the frequency of the doses to three a day and then two a day.
once you get rid of the pain completely, you can stop.
there may be a relapse of the symptoms after some weeks for which you need to take ars alb 30c again like this time. if the 30c potency doesnt work, you have to go for 200c potency.

The neck pain is gone. I've developed some flu-like symptoms - runny nose and sneezing.Yesterday I've also experienced a bit of backpain, accompanied with the warm burning feeling, more intense than usual. It somehow subsided, but not completely gone. I was a bit irritable today, because of the flu-symptoms.
I'm busy tapering down (about to take my 3rd dose for today and tomorrow it will be twice a day). Do I stop after tomorrow?? When will I know if the 30c doesn't work for me ????

Just wanted to know whether I can take some medication for sneezing (Allergex) and something to dry up my nose? Or will it have an effect on the Ars Alb?

please dont take any medicines for the flue to sneezing symptoms. these probably are the proving symptoms of ARS ALB.
the intensification of the burning pains show that there has been an aggravation of the symptoms as probably the remedy has been taken more number of times than what was required.
please stop ARS ALB and dont take any other remedy for the symptoms. the cure will begin once the aggravation is over in the next 48 hours.
please report to me after a week if the burning pains got reduced than what they were before the treatment started.

do you think the burning pains are exactly of the same nature as before.
if yes, then you should take ARS ALB 30C every 4 hours and as soon as the pains seem to relieve, just stop the remedy.
if the pain doesnt subside eben after 8 doses, just stop it anyway. we will go higher in potency.

stop the doses and give the remedy some 48 hours to show its effect.
if the burning pain doesnt relieve by the next 48 hours or get lessened in intensity, we will change the potency.

Just thought I'll share with u this. Today the burning pain is much worse than I started Ars. Alb. 30. I also experience some kind of twitches in the back. Almost a kind of vibration in the back and is very uncomfortable. Do you think this can be some sort of aggravation ?????

butterfly1 last decade
this may be an aggravation and if you feel the pain is much worse, please dont take any thing and just bare the pain.
any kind of vibration or throbbing pain is generally felt during the healing crisis by the patients before the affected area gets cured. thus, you must wait and watch.
i am hopeful that after the aggravation is over, there would be an amelioration of symptoms.
