Joint stiffness and inflammation

I am 38 years, male. My main problem in this query is joint stiffness and pain. I shall give a bit of my health history first.

In my childhood I was an introvert, shy kind of child. My main health issues at that time were inflammation of nasal and oral cavity with lot of phlegm production.
My digestion has almost always been weak and sensitive.

In my college days I started having issues of bloating, gas, constipation, dryness, pain on pressing under the ribs on right side (liver), pain on pressing the stomach, gastric reflux, acidity, extreme fatigue most of the times, anxiety. My hands and feet were cold. Constipation of dry kind became a regular feature in my life. It has been extremely frustrating with a feeling that my golden period was all lost to constipation.

Since childhood my joints crack a lot. When I squat my knees crack. But my shoulders have been alright in childhood.
Now since a few years my body is stiff in the morning. I cannot sit comfortably until the lower back has stretched a bit. I cannot bend or lift anything otherwise it injures the tissue in lower back, usually on a side and would then remain so till it heals itself in a few days.
My shoulder have become dry and stiff. If I lift my arms above shoulder level and then try to lower them downwards the shoulder joint tissue rubs over its layers and I feel the friction and sound of tissue being pulled and tugged into place. The deltoid as well as infra-spinatus, maybe other muscles too, rub on the shoulder joint bones and I feel a painful tug when I lower my arm.
My right leg starts paining on the inside of the knee and outside of the ankle after walking a long distance. Sometimes this pain is quite pronounced. When I press into the inside of the knee joint I can feel the inflamed area.

Please suggest a remedy. If you need more information I shall be gratefully supply that.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I should also mention that when a couple of weeks back I had to take oflaxin+ornidazole tablets prescribed by allopathic doctor for suspected abdominal infection. After taking the medicine stiffness in my lower back has noticeably decreased. I thought that perhaps my lifelong intestinal issues had caused some kind of infection in joint tissue and that after antibiotics had decreased this.

But other shoulder and knees issues persist. Yesterday I had to shake a thermometer before using it to check my wife's temperature. My shoulder joint tissue starting paining when moved after that.

Please take three doses of Lycopodium 200 as follows and see how that affects in next 15 days (only 3 doses in 15 days).

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

kadwa ji Thank you for your reply. It so happens that I have to travel away from home next week. So I want to carry medicine with me. I have heard good thing about rhux tox too. Is it advisable to take rhux tox too along with lycopodium?
While reading about lycopodium I found that is it good for all kinds of digestive disorders, which suits my case well. I've read rhux tox is popular for arthritis. So would both of these form a favourable combination for me?

Please advise.

There is no need to take Rhus Tox along with Lycopodium. Let us see what Lycopodium does in 15 days.

PAPAYA FOR HIGH URIC ACID AND ALL TYPES OF JOINTS PAIN !!!

Just try it if you've got uric acid after all no harm done.
This is a really effective, just mix green papaya cubes to the ordinary green tea, my cousin-brother tried and found it very effective.
I have also shared with a friend with gout to try this (his 'toe joints' started to deform), after a week of drinking this formula there is significant improvement, and after two weeks the toe joints heal and revert to normal state.

It is almost three years now, the joint pain is gone, but he maintains the intake between 1-3 times monthly to avoid relapse.
Other friends suffering from years of gout problem have also recovered.
It is good for all, even those without gout.

Good formula! Do share with the people in need!
An improved sequence by Professor Lai from the China School of Pharmacy :
Cut green papaya into small cubes, place into the water, bring to boil, then add tea leaves, similar to the tea-making process.

Clinical tests show that this brings better effects for treatment of gout, subject to frequent drinking of this formula.
Mr. Liu Qing, Chief of the Rende Town in Tainan, was suffering for years from severe stomach pain around the posterior wall of stomach.
He used green papaya as a tea pot to prepare the family tea daily, after a month, his chronic disease condition was much improved.
His family members with high uric acid were also healed by the same papaya tea.
For this Mr. Liu planted a lot of papaya to share with relatives and friends with similar sickness.
According to Mr. Liu, in selecting the green papaya as tea pot, pick those the shape of which is fat and short, with larger capacity.
Cut off the top part of the papaya, clear away the seeds, open a small hole at the upper side wall to facilitate pouring of tea.
Create a small ventilation hole at top cover, put in the tea leaves, pour in boiling water, place the top cover back onto the papaya, you may also use the toothpicks to secure the top cover.
Similar to normal process of preparing tea.

Liu likes to use Oolong tea as the taste is good.
He was pleasantly surprised that the stomach pains he suffered for many years was healed after a month of drinking tea from the green papaya pot, without taking any other medication.
He passed some green papaya leaves to a friend who worked at a Medical Center to test and analyse the content.
The tests confirmed that the healthy enzyme present in papaya is beneficial to human health.
Now as papaya in Mr. Liu's orchard is yielding suitable size fruits, he would share the fruits with family and friends.
Xu Fuchang, an experienced papaya farmer, said green papaya means to unripe papaya, where the skin is still green in colour.
Generally, the papaya takes about four months to fully mature and ripen, but the healing effect would be lost after it is fully ripe.
Green papaya should be harvested when the papaya is approximately three months old, when the fruit is still firm, and the 'papaya milk' contains high papaya enzyme and other healthy ingredients.
Not only the green papaya can be used in tea drinking, you may also cut them into cubes, and boil with the ribs, or even slicing the green papaya into fine long pieces and fried with garlic, very tasty, and no adverse effects on the human body.

Hello Kadwa ji,
Its been over 15 days since I took lycopodium 3 doses as you suggested.
I have not been well past few days due to cold weather and unsuitable food. The stiffness and pain has returned. My left knee pains on the underside when I climb stairs. The lower back has been stiff too.
I suspect that these could be related to my digestion.
The earlier relief in stiffness and joint pain which I had when I took (ornidazole+ofloxacin) has decreased.
About lycopodium I cannot be sure if it had any effect because I already had relief due to the allopathic medicine.

Now that pain and stiffness has returned should I re-take the lycopodium doses?

Please retake three doses of Lycopodium 200 and see how that goes in 15 days.

If that doesn't help take three doses of Phosphorus 200 in the same way.

Thank you Kadwa ji. Would you kindly suggest me something for constipation too? My main symptoms are slow peristalsis in the morning (it usually takes around 2 cups of tea and around 2 hours before I get a movement) There is also lack of moisture in the beginning and middle part of the stool. I often remind myself to drink more water but often I am not able to take enough. But sometimes even after drinking enough water the stool remain dry.

Lycopodium should help on this issue too. Please take a fiber rich diet like salad and also take 2 cup butter milk daily.

Thank you kadwa ji. Yesterday I completed my third dose of lycopodium in the morning. Today when I woke up in the morning the body felt light and lower not so stiff. But I shall be monitoring myself and shall report back after 2 weeks.
