The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Tina
I am a 56 year old woman. I have had orthotics fitted last December to correct my gait and fallen arches which got rid of the pain in my groin/thigh knee and ankle. However soon after in February I overdid the walking and according to my podiatrist/osteopath have apparently torn a ligament in my lower back which has given me very bad pain in the original places and makes me 'click' horribly. Apparently I haven't kept myself immobile enough to heal the ligament and it's still not better. Please could somebody suggest something to help with the healing process and reduce the inflammation etc. I am getting depressed and frustrated at not being able to walk much and do anything and have put on a lot of weight around the middle. I ate a lot of dairy - yoghurt and cheese - and am now cutting down as I know that it makes me very acidic and 'cracky' in the joints and also seems to fatten me up but I'll never be able to give up the cheese. I don't want to have to have anti-inflammotory injections (the next step if no better in a month). I have also started taking Cissius hoping that it will help. Please could someone advise me. Many thanks. Tinabellechat1 on 2011-06-09

I noticed that none of the classically trained homeopaths on this forum have responded so far to the two calls you made for help yesterday.
I decided to do so in spite of not being a classical homeopath as I practice what they derisively termed 'Joepathy' many years ago, which strangely enough seems to be more positive today in curing ailments in comparison to their classical therapy on this Forum.
Your case seems to be very complicated as you suffer from fallen arches which has resulted in 'pain in my groin/thigh knee and ankle' and you now report:
'torn a ligament in my lower back which has given me very bad pain in the original places and makes me 'click' horribly.'
' I am getting depressed and frustrated at not being able to walk much and do anything and have put on a lot of weight around the middle. I ate a lot of dairy - yoghurt and cheese - and am now cutting down as I know that it makes me very acidic and 'cracky' in the joints and also seems to fatten me up but I'll never be able to give up the cheese.'
My approach to treating your problem is to ensure that you reduce weight, which you have not recorded in your post.
You must STOP all the dairy products that you are now using which you have admitted have resulted in your additional weight. You may discover that this is difficult but the choice is yours as at age 56 you have many more years ahead of you and you must make up your mind whether you wish to spend your future years on Steroids being pumped into your knees every few months or to use my advice and my therapy aka 'Joepathy' which will hopefully help you.
Your remedies are:
Arnica 6c in the Wet dose taken thrice daily. This remedy will help you to overcome that 'urge' for that next helping of Dairy to which I believe you are addicted. It will also help heal the damage you have sustained in your ligament.
Arnica has helped Smokers, Alcoholics and Chocoholics to QUIT and it would interest me from an academic angle to observe if it will also help you to quit your yearning for Dairy products which may be the cause of your present distress.
Nat Phos 6x dose 3 tablets taken thrice daily after each of 3 meals. This remedy will help reduce your weight very safely by at least 1kg per week.
Hypericum 200c in the Wet dose taken every 3-4 hours. This remedy is prescribed to alleviate the pain you suffer from but it may antidote the action of the Nat Phos 6x to reduce weight and if you do not notice any reduction of your weight in 1 week you will be compelled to stop it.
It is understood that you will STOP all other medication you may be taking as Nat Phos will only work on weight reduction without any drugs.
The Arnica I prescribed is an exception and does not affect the action of the Nat Phos.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedies prescribed Arnica 30c and Hypericum 200c in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
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 of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
