Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experience and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering? State the correct location of pain or suffering.

main problem is regarding pain in left knee with swelling.i felt this problem at night suddenly ,it occured at around 27 januaury 2015 due to the fact i think it was caused when i was
walking on road and i stretched my left leg towards little high footpath and i felt something happened to my knee. And at night when offering prayers i felt that i
was not able to fold my left leg due to pain in upper as well as lower side of the knee and also on the back side of knee.
After one or two days i visited the doctor who told me to wear knee cap and prescribed some painkillers as well as some peptides and protein supplements. he then advised
me to go for an x-ray and some tests that showed according to the doctor disorders in the knee and he told me that it is the first stage of the artirits and nothing to worry it will be
alright with in some months.But the painkillers he advised me to take were causing stomach upset and i stopped taking the painkillers and i also i stopped to take supplements as it caused
reaction on my stomach.I was also applying some ointment on the knee twice, pain was reduced but swelling was not.

then i consulted a homeopath who gave me medicines that i don't know and i felt some relief initially in about one week.some medicines that i know is magnesium phosphorium 6x ,
calci forte tablets for osteoporosis, and some meds in globules that i am still taking for some 3 weeks continuously.now there is sometimes pain in the knee and swelling which is not getting relief.

Does your knee pain get relieved a bit when you are continuously walking for sometime?

Does it pain most when you are just about to start walking or change posture?

Under what circumstances does it pain most? Apart from the temperature aspect.
 
rishimba 9 years ago
Yes doctor it relieves a bit when I walk continuously.

When I am about to walk it pains or if I change posture it also pains.

I think when I am about to get up from a sitting posture it pains more.

Pain is present in front as well as back side of knee with swelling.
When I press the knee I pains in front as well as back.

Rubbing little relieves the pain.

Thanks.

Please take RHUS TOX 200C four doses on a single day, each dose 6 hours apart. Thus, in 24 hours you will take all four doses.

Wait and watch what happens to the pain in the next few days and let me know. Based on the feedback, we will discuss the dosing pattern for long term relief.

One dose would be 3 drops of remedy in some 10 ml of water sipped up in clean mouth and empty stomach. No food or water one hour before or after.

If you feel any change in your sufferings after the first, second or third dose, don't take the rest of the doses.

After completing all four doses, wait for the body to respond in the next one week. Let me know even if there is a slight change in your pains.

Thank you I will take the med and update.

One question is there is that do I have stop taking medicines that I am taking ,homeopathic medicines or I can take them as well.
 
junii 9 years ago
Please stop all other medicines and remedies.

If Rhus Tox creates a response, nothing else is required.
 
rishimba 9 years ago

You can take the first test dose-set tomorrow.

You will not take it everyday. If the test dose-set produces a response, we will decide on the dosing pattern.

Hello, Dr rishimba , a week passed since i took 3 doses of medicine, i took only three doses as feel some pain after taking third dose, that is why i took only 3 doses,

For 3 days there were headaches, heavyness in eyes, feeling more sleepy, and feeling of pain in left knee.

Now the symptoms have improved and the main thing is that pain in the left knee is reduced about 50 %.

I feel pain after walking not during walking.

Pain is present in front and back of knee sometimes , reduced as compared to earlier.

Pain is also present when I stand for some time.

I cannot fully fold my left knee , but it is better as compared to earlier.

Also swelling is reduced about 20 %.

I get exhausted when i do little work, if I only remain standing .

I thing my weight is more.my belly has more fat.

I am very grateful to you for your help.



I am looking forward for your advice.

Thanks..

We will not change the remedy now. You can repeat the dose whenever you feel your symptoms worsening or entering a plateau.

You may take it once in a week. In case 200C doesn't work after a few weeks, you can jump to 1M potency once in about 2 weeks.
 
rishimba 9 years ago
Hello Dr rishimba, can you please explain what do you mean by entering a plateau.

Do I have only to take medicine if symptoms come back or take weekly dose.

If symptoms do not get worsened and remain static with out change ,do I have to take a dose or not.

Thanks
 
junii 9 years ago
Entering a plateau actually means what you wrote in your last statement. When symptoms do not get worsened, remain the same and do not get relieved either...this may be termed as entering a plateau. You need to take a dose under such conditions, just to give a push to your vitality.

Generally, you should know when to take a dose based on your symptoms. However, if this potency holds for some 5 to 6 days roughly, it is considered safe to take 200C potency once a week.

The higher you go in potency, lesser should be the frequency of dosing or else you may have an aggravation.

Hi Dr rishimba, I am updating after taking another dose on 24 April:

The pain is reduced again about 10 % further.

Swelling is also reduced little.

Pain is present sometimes on right side of left knee and back of left knee.

I cannot fold my left leg ,and it pains very much if I try to fold my leg.

I feel pain when I stand for little time

Looking further for ur advice.

Thanks

Please continue RHUS TOX 200C in a sustained manner taking one dose every third or fourth day.

Continue like this for 3 to 4 weeks or till you find this dosing pattern suitable to you.

Once this dosing becomes ineffective, we will change it.
 
rishimba 8 years ago
Thank you Dr , I will update weekly.

One question I would like to ask is that if aggravation will occur do I have to stop the doses or not.
