Osteo Arthiritis and Hair fall
Dear Dr JoeRead about your expertise in handling Osteo Arthiritis and hair fall problems.
My age is 39 yrs and I am 80kgs. I had a sudden pain in my right knee 3 yrs back was told after MRI that is was a meniscus tear in the right knee. The problem still remains but the pain keeps coming and going.
Since the last 1 year I have pain in the various joints of the body specially the knuckles of the hands and the upper back. I have also been having hair loss for many years now.
I have a problem of colitis and been keeping ok on taking Aloe Soc 30m since 1 month. This is currently off.
After going thru your previous posts on OA I have started having Rhus Tox 1M and Hyper200 in wet dosage. Also taking Arnica 30 in wet dose and Nat Phos6x. After starting this treatment 3 days ago my pain seems to have worsened and I have become constipated too.
Need your active help in this matter

Please complete the Patient's Questionnaire to enable me to diagnose your case more fully on the link below:

I do not know if you are M or F and would also like to know the background of the tear you refer to of your Meniscus in the right knee and what treatment you were prescribed.
Also have you been diagnosed with Osteo Arthritis which I feel is not common in anyone your age.
Rhus Tox and Hypericum cannot help your present problem and Nat Phos and Arnica cannot cause constipation nor can it cause your pain to worsen.

I do not think that you suffer from Osteo Arthritis although you have reported pain in your fingers, upper back and knees.
If as you state you have a tear of your Meniscus surgery can be considered as this is not a condition that can be helped by Homeopathy.
You state:
Bloatedness in the stomach specially at night. Wind stuck causes uneasiness. This is a chronic problem since 10 years.
I believe that this chronic condition you suffer from is GERD and the therapy I have used in hundreds of cases is Nat Phos 6x. Dose 2-6 tablets taken after a meal twice daily. You will also take Arnica 30c in the Wet dose and I shall give the instructions on making the Wet dose below.
Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
If this is not available the Dry dose in pellets may be used but this is not as effective as the remedy in the original Ethanol pack.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops or 5 pellets of the remedy into the bottle and shake it hard to produce bubbles. This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is taken as directed.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I had already made the Arnica 30 dose and am taking it since 2 days. Also Nat Phos 6x is running since 3 days.
The joint pains which I have is actually increasing every week and spreading. The Ortho had suggested that this is the start of OA and conditions can worsen. This is why I want you to suggest me a preventive therapy.
The menicus tear requires an open knee operation and pinhole will not work there given the location of the tear. So will wait as long as I can bear.
Thanks

I prefer to treat your GERD first as this can be the root cause of your other problems except for your knee.
Please report your response in a week for further therapy.

Dear Dr Joe,
I have a problem of constipation and Nat Phos 6x isn't helping much there. My tongue has become white and there is foul smell in my mouth every morning which was'nt there earlier.
Can I continue with Aloe Soc 30 in wet dose with Nat Phos and Arnica ..as Aloe has helped me a lot in constipation before.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

How many tablets of Nat Phos 6x are you taking?
♡ Joe De Livera last decade
Nat Phos 6x has proved to be an excellent laxative and I am surprised that it has not helped you. If as you state, Aloe S 30 has helped you, feel free to use it in the same manner that you did in the past.
Aloe S may also help your GERD.

Continue with the present therapy for a week when your dry skin and itching should also improve with the Arnica.
i prefer not to treat your OA right now as I fear that your GERD which I believe is the root cause of your OA symptoms and which is obviously responding to my therapy, may be affected.
Please ensure that you drink at least 3 liters of liquid daily and that you do some exercise to sweat it out as long as you do not hurt your knee.

Dear Dr Joe,
Will do as suggested.
I was recollecting that Bryonia has helped me in pain earlier.
I used to take it cough/cold I remember my stomach problem responding to it and also no body pain during that period. It that the Broynia quality.
Can it be of some help too.
