Pain in ligament behind left knee
I have a 16 year old son. When he stretches his left leg and stands up after sitting down, the ligament behind the left knee hurts and it becomes tight and stiff. The doctor said it seems to be a tender ligament. We didnt get any X-rays done. From outside, it looks normal and same as right side. Maybe a very very minute soft swelling. He is otherwise able to use his leg normally. Its painful only when he stands up after sitting down.Can somebody please suggest a remedy for this and the potency. Thanks so much.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please take three doses of Rhus Tox 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.
If this doesn't help, take Argentum Met 200 in the same way and report back after another 15 days.

Thanks Dr Kadwa. Gave him 3 doses of Rhus Tox 200 liquid. So far didnt notice any change.
But, I wanted to provide more details about the problem, which we have observed. The pain is on right side (towards the back, not front) of left knee. When he stands up after sitting down (knees are bent at time of sitting), it hurts for a couple of seconds, and he feels a pop or jerk. No problem walking. And, we also found the swelling spot, its kind of a small knot size on the right side of knee.
Please advise if we should wait for 15 days and watch for any updates and then, if no improvement, give Argentum Met 200.
Thanks for all your help.

The stiffness & pain is same and the popping of knee is same. the only change I see is in the knot....that seems to have reduced.
I have ordered Argentum Met 200 and it will come by next week. Can you suggest what sould I give him in the meantime. Really apreciate the help.
Also, reading other posts, I found that you are a Sai devotee and our family is too, especially my son. He reads Satcharitra every day. I believe it's a way of Baba to bless us.
Thanks!!

Please give him a single dose of Rhus Tox 200. Only one dose, not daily.
We should do our own tasks how so ever insignificant they may seem. We can't exist without blessings and compassion of God.

I gave him 1 dose yesterday.
Can you advise, what is this problem. Hoping it is not something big, which we need to be concerned about.
Also, there is no change in pain & popping.
Please advise. Appreciate all the help.

While suggesting a homeopathic remedy modality and other homeopathic information is considered. It is not possible to comment on the diagnosis of problem on the basis of homeopathic information.
It is more important to know what your son thinks about his problem rather than knowing what others think. In homeopathy the remedy is individualized so mental state of patient is of utmost significance.
You may also provide following information about him.
1.whether he prefers warm surroundings ie whether he likes to be covered or he prefers cold surroundings and open air.
2.whether he has a mild disposition or an irritable disposition. How is his attitude towards his friends and relatives?
3.What other physical problems, if any does he have.
4.At what time he feels better and at what time does he feel worse like in the morning, evening, late night etc.
5.What do you think is the causative factor for starting his problems.
6.How is his thirst for cold drinks, hot drinks and water?
7.How is the bowel movement? Normal, constipated or loose.
8.Whether the child prefers to move around or prefers to keep still.

Please give him a single dose of Thuja 1M and report back after one month. Only one dose, not daily. Other instructions remain same. No other homeopathic remedies.
♡ kadwa last decade
Need immediate help. The pain is worse this morning and it hurts when he bends. Earlier it hurt when he would unbend. Can you please suggest something which I can give him now.
I am trying to get Thuja 1M. I have Thuja 0 and Thuja 6. Can I give this in the meantime until I procure Thuja 1M.
Thanks!!

Please give Thuja 6 in the morning and evening for a week.
♡ kadwa last decade
I have been giving him Thuja 6 for 5 days now, but there has been no change at all. The pain and the popping after he stands up (after sitting) is the same and the knot size behind the left knee is the same.
I was not able to get either of Thuja 1M and Arg Met 200 thru my friend in Chennai.
Please advise on the next steps.
Would oil massage or heating pad help?

Thanks. I have started giving him Calc Fluor 6x from 9/16.
Also, we took him to a doctor for a examination today. The diagnosis was maybe 1. hamstring tendonitis and 2. cartilage injury. As no X-rays & MRI have been taken yet, the diagnosis was 'maybe'. Doctor suggested we get X-rays done tomorrow and also take 'dosepak' - which is 21 pills in 4 days of methyl pred nisilone to reduce inflammation. I do not want to give this strong dose. is there any homeopathic remedy to get the same results?
If this medicine doesn't fix the hamstring tendonitis problem, we have to get MRI done, which is very expensive. This is to see if there is a cartilage tear or microfracture.
Please suggest some homeopathy remedy.
Thanks a lot for all the help. I really appeciate it.

There are no remedies in homeopathy that are equivalent to any allopathic treatment. These are two altogether different systems of medicines and therefore equivalent treatment are not possible. Please continue with calc fluor 6x.
♡ kadwa last decade
Its been a week now, since I have been giving him Calc Fluor 6x. No change in the pain or stiffness or the knot.
Please advise on the next steps. Should we continue this?
Thanks!!

Please give him Nux Vomica 30 in the morning and evening for 3 days and see how that affects in 7 days. Please arrange Thuja 1M for future use.

Thanks. I will start him on that. Can you think of any other medicines I may need, so I can get them all now and available, when and if needed.
suna711 last decade
Also, I wanted to let you know that he has Vitamin D deficiency. It is level 12. I didnt relate the Vit D deficiency with this issue until now.
I am giving him Nux Vomica and ordered the others.
Thanks!!

I'd have prescribed differently. Off the cuff, I can tell you that the remedies mentioned above will not work in your case.
Give him a single dose of Ruta 30c and report back in 24-48 hrs. STOP all other homeopathic remedies.
