Urgent: Intolerable pain in shoulder
I'm having intolerable pain on my left shoulder. Here is what happend:During night I woke up feeling pain on my shoulder on which was under my body. I turn to other side and slept. In the morning, I felt more pain, so I thought may be I should take ruta. I took wet dose of ruta 1M and went to office. I worked all day typing on computer, in the evening pain increased, so then I thought of taking other remady, I took aconite 6C. Waited for 1 hour to see its effect. Pain increased so took bell 6C. Did not help either so took Arinca 6C. It did not help either. By this time I was not even able to raise my arm. Then I took bryonia 200C wet dose. But again no reduction in pain. So I took pain killer in the night. Felt little better in the morning. I took another dose of bryonia 200C ( moving arm even a little causes great pain) but no effect. So I took Rhus Tox 200c( I just came back from vacation from warmer place) so I thought colder temp might have contributed to the pain and that is why rhus tox. Also had very little cold symptoms, little nose running and heavy voice which are gone by now)but this one does not seem to work either. I've run out of coming up any other remedy). I'd appreciate if someone could suggest any remady. The pain is only small part of the shoulder I feel that pain is in muscles as well as in outer part of the bone. If I do not keep my arm in a specific position, I feel intolerable pain. Light pressing also cause intolerable pain.
Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
May I suggest that you take Rhus Tox 1M in 300ml spring water succussed before you sip 1 teaspoonful 3 times daily ? This remedy may only be taken for 3 days at this potency.
Arnica 6c in the Split dose may also help your recovery. Dose 1 tsp twice daily. This can be taken with the Rhus T with an hour between remedies.

Were you sleeping in a draft or under a fan? Please cover the affected area and keep it warm. Let us know if the Rhus helps.

Thanks Joe and Minsa,
Minsa,
I was sleeping under a fan. I see improvement but still can only lift my arm upto 60 degree. If I try to raise my arm more than that, I feel tearing pain in the tendon/muscles. Let me know if you think any other remady can help.

Hypericum 200 in the Split Dose will help to reduce the pain. Dose 1 teaspoonful 3 times daily for a few days till pain stabilizes.

If you feel Rhus has helped you some, I suggest you take ONE dose in higher potency - 10M.
Your other options are Hepar, Silicea, Selenium etc., but cannot choose one without more info - read up these 3 and see if they fit you.
There is another possibility - I have seen a case almost identical, where it turned out that the lady had a small spur in the shoulder - and yes, the symptoms came on overnight, and pain was intolerable and movement restricted. In which case Rhus will still apply, but we might consider adding something. Lets see how it goes. COVER your arms when you sleep in a draft or under the fan. Try a hot water bottle - if its spasmodic pain, it might help it to relax.

Thanks Minsa for suggestions.
My pain is now almost gone. I went to see doctor to be sure that it was not something else. My doctor said that I had tandonitis.
I took anti-inflammatory pills for two days. But, even anti-inflammatory pills did not seem to work. So, I again I started on Rhus Tox 30 and Arnica. I should have tried higher potency of Rhus Tox which I did not have at the time. Also, I should have put ice-pack instead of heat pad and should have restricted the movement of my arm in the begining.
