Upper Joint Pains & Abdominal Pains

Thank you so much for this great help. Actually, I was just going to buy this medicine but first I went to the Doctor. She got my blood report. She said not to take the antibiotic she prescribed because it is not a bacterial infection. She said that my body is fighting with some kind of Virus but they don't know what it is. She just said, get rest ad come back to her next week if I am still in Pain.
I am 25 years old female, married. Living in Canada. I used homeopathic when I was five years old. My father said, Doctor had prescribed me Belladona and that worked so good that I was cured in few hours.
Should I still buy the same medicine you recommended?

Best Regards

I took ignatia as you prescribed. First two days stomach pain and pain in left shoulder reduced but last night my pain got really bad. No stomach pain. I work up around 3 AM, and couldn't breathe or walk. I felt as if all my upper body bones were being crushed, especially my upper back. I feel severe pain in my ribs.

I went to the Doctor this morning. She said that my results showed there is inflammation happening, but she could not diagnose until another 2 tests she had ordered arrived. She also said that they rarely figure out what kind of virus it is because there are so many. But she said she will refer me to an arthritis specialist but that won’t be until the new year. Until then, she prescribed another naproxen with another kind of stomach medicine (to protect it). I’m going to take this soon, because I’m at work and in a lot of pain. I hope it doesn’t affect my stomach too much because the last one had a stomach protector coating on it and I still felt the effect on my abdomen.
She said to give it another week and see how I feel. And to rest.

Here are answers to all questions. Your help is much appreciated.

I am female, 26 years old and skinny.
1. Describe your main suffering?
Joint pains: ribs and upper back hurt, especially when I breathe

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
It started about a month ago with shoulder pains. The pain migrated to my chest so that I was feeling stabbing pains in my chest when I was trying to breathe. I was given an anti-inflammatory drug Vimovo that helped my chest pain but my shoulder pains persisted. The drug caused me to have abdominal pains so I stopped taking it. With rest and a better diet, my shoulder pains and abdominal pains got better. However, just this Tuesday night, my ribs were hurting, so I took half a muscle relaxant but woke up around 3 AM with severe upper back pain. I took advil and went back to sleep. I followed up with the doctor yesterday morning who said that my blood work shows that my body is fighting a virus, though they cannot identify what it is. It also shows that I have slight inflammation. She prescribed another anti-inflammatory drug with a stomach protection drug and Tylenol with codine to manage the pain.
