This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
There are a few different ways to go with this case. I am going to do something a bit less complicated that trying to find an unknown animal remedy for you.
The issue of movement, and the feels of stiffness, rigidity, stuckness etc are key problems of the Anacardiaciea family in which Rhus-tox is the most well known member. However, I do not believe the miasm (chronic disease pattern) is covered by that remedy.
On looking at the two remedies that helped you the most, Thuja and Carc, this makes me think of another remedy that can be seen as a combination of those two remedies (if such a thing can ever be said), and which belongs to this particular plant group - Anacardium.
Many of your mental expressions, fears, dreams can be seen in Anacardium.
Is it possible to get hold of 200c?

You will also need to get an empty small bottle with a dropper (15-30ml in size) and some alcohol to mix with water in it (brandy, vodka, any spirit even medicinal alcohol like ethanol). You can get either pillules or liquid of the Anacardium.

Ok, I ordered the remedy. It will arrive tomorrow. It seems a very good fit, based on some descriptions found online. Especially the lack of self confidence, the urge to prove myself, combined with a hardness and sense of isolation. But I guess one could identify with many remedy pictures, to some degree.
I will report here.

Haha yeah I do prefer people don't read up on them too soon into the treatment, although that is pretty hard to police :)
I am glad to hear the initial effect is so positive. The real test will be the stability and depth of the change and that we will only see after some time has passed.

Morning anxiety better by about 60%. Stiffness in shoulder almost completely gone. Less craving for nicotine.

Able to feel more emotions, both negative and positive.
It is not only easy, but a definite change from just 'trying to stay the course at all cost', irrespective of what happened.

Still more energy, better concentration. More assertive. Sad. Do not want to be bothered. More introvert. More anxiety, but still better compared to before.

These days, I woke up from lively, unpleasant dreams around 5.30 am. Can only vaguely remember, it is about not performing well, missing things.

When choosing a remedy for a person, the only thing that is important, is what is in the patient is also in the remedy.
What is NOT important, is what is not in the patient, that is in the remedy.
Because our remedies have thousands of symptoms, it is not possible to have the whole lot.
The only thing that matters is that the remedy covers the most important aspects of the case, those things that are highly peculiar and individual, which represent the person at the deepest level of their complaint (often mind). The remedy must cure the patient, the patient does not need to cure the remedy :)

Thanks for the clarifications.
I also read what you wrote at another location:
'Using Centesimal potencies, improvement for chronic conditions is rarely seen within 24 hours. It may in fact not be seen clearly for almost a week.
This is not the same as the temporary improvement people feel as the artificial disease takes hold of the patient. This can happen very quickly (minutes or hours after the dose) and is meaningless in terms of correctness of the remedy.'
Very interesting. Maybe this has happened: I got a break due to the 'artifical disease' imposed by the remedy? Best is probably to forget everything about remedies and such, and, just wait.

Each patient is different, we all have our own blueprints for getting well. Some patients improve with little aggravation and quickly. Some aggravate alot and take months to see real benefit. You will get a much better, faster, less difficult result when the potency and dosage is exactly right for the patient.
The important thing is to watch Direction of Cure, one of our most important principles in managing a case. As long as the patient is improving in more important areas, in the higher levels, in the centre of their being, you can remain confident in the remedy.

Dream: I was to give a performance for entertainment. I was behaving awkwardly, and it was not funny, rather embarrassing. But people did not care that much, nor did I. Before waking up, there was a strange sensation, I guess a dream. It was like air, pressure relieved from a balloon, or a plant that sheds seeds by quickly releasing them into the air - not sure how to describe.
An old symptom returned shortly yesterday when in bed: restless legs.
Mornings are still much worse, but overall, there is more confidence. Demands or requests by others are less threatening. Before, I would panic automatically and instinctively, almost become paralyzed and helpless.

Mentally quite strong still, work efficiently, fast and creatively. Not very much interested in others, do not want to socialize or communicate much. This is different compared to before, I was very much tuned-in and interested in other people, almost indiscriminately. Now I seem much more selective. I care about my children and friends though.

Still doing well. Continuing watching and observing the changes. No more of the remedy for the moment.

I noticed that I may have started grinding teeth at night again. I used to do this a lot in my twenties. Also, I feel very tired from 3-8pm, then become awake till 12pm. Deep down, I really long for an intimate relationship, but currently, I feel quite closed and self sufficient, also less sexual drive. An ongoing professional argument with a peer bothers me: I would be my turn to initiate the next stage, which would lead to an escalation. There are some arguments for it (that person acted unfairly to take advantage of me), but I am afraid I cannot handle the mess emotionally.
In any case, the remedy appears to still act, and there are changes in me.

A question, or idea, regarding dosing: If a remedy turns out to be a good choice, would it speed up the cure by selecting a really high potency (say XM) after a test dose with moderate potency, and then treat potential aggravations with
lower potency/very diluted dose of the same remedy?
lower potency/very diluted dose of the same remedy?

No that never works. In fact that would likely ruin your good results.
Potency relates to the level at which the patient expresses their illness.Very low potencies express their problems via pathology, low potencies express their problems in a factual way, medium potencies express their problems through their emotions, high potencies through their intellect and imagination, very high potencies express their problems as a pure sensation that moves beyond pure intellect.
Giving too high a potency may do nothing, but it may just as well create a huge disturbance for the patient as it overwhelms the vital energy. The reason we go up in steps is to find that perfect level, at which the patient cures. Going beyond that actually can cause harm.
The highest I have ever needed to go is 50M - that is in 20 years of practice - and that is only a handful of times. I have seen cure happen on even 12c, with no repetitions after the first course (7 days).
The way that we keep you progressing towards cure is repetition, dilution, succussion. Then when that fails to take you any further, we move up in potency. It has to be done at the right pace or you can actually dismantle all the positive changes.

Impatience and haste ruins good cases. I see it all the time, I have even been guilty of that myself.
It is always easy enough to reverse a small relapse if it happens from waiting too long. It is very difficult trying to manage an overeaction or side effects from moving too fast. 20 years of dealing with patients has taught me that patience is a virtue in homoeopathy :)
