remedy for cartilage regenaration
Hi,i am seeking some treatment for my mother. she has been suffering with her knee joint for few years. a walk of 100 mts will cause her knees to swell and in pain. recently,when diagnosed, a considerable cartilage degradation was found. also, there is bend leg in from the knees (towards outside) .
she has been referred for physiotherapy and least strain on knees.
the xray report says:
1.soft tissue flat planes around knee are normal.
2.knee joint space is reduced markedly on both sides.
3. marginal osteophytic changes in tibia and femur.
4.no bony discontinuity, displacement and no destructive or sclerotic lesion.
please suggest remedies for her.
thanks.

3. cold washing

hi,
1. pressure: reduces the pain
2. hot rubbing : reduces the pain
3. cold washing: she is not certain
4. motion: aggravates the pain
5. jar : little aggravation in the pain
regarding the climate, she is not comfortable to either extremes. hot environments troubles her more, but cold is also not comfortable.
she feels more pain and stiffness in winter ( and in rains when temp reduces)
thanks

please give her BRYONIA 30C every 6 hours for some days.
when the pain begins to reduce, you can just taper down the doses to 2 a day and then one a day for some days more.
take the doses for a week maximum and then wait for the changes.
please report after every 15 days so that the case could be followed up closely till cure.
all homeopathic restrictions will apply.

bryonia will give temporary relief and can be taken whenever the pain is there.
however, a permanent cure will take time and a deep acting constitutional remedy will have to be taken.
please report after 30 days so that a constitutional treatment can be suggested.

its encouraging that BRYONIA has given some relief.
this shows that if the potency is increased, the pains will be reduced futher.
please give her BRYONIA 200C every 6 hours for some 2 to 3 days and check if the pain reduces further.
if it does, you may ask her to continue for some days.
please report after a week.
