Severe Knee Cap Pains

Hello Doctors

My wife was diagnosed with Urine infection. She had pains on the back along with slight fever and severe giddiness. As she had the pus taste in the mouth she was not eating anything. I called the doctor in the night. He gave her an inj Gentamycin 80 mg and advised some antibiotic. I gave her that night and the next day morning(7-09).With nothing in her stomach, the giddiness aggravated and she was in bed.

I gave her Ars 200 hourly dose from Sunday.Yesterday evening she felt giddy and on her way to the bedroom she hit her left cheek to the wash basin and fell down hitting her knees. Her left knee took the hit. Her knee caps are swollen. Had Arnica 200 which I gave her 2 hourly and applied hot water bag.

Had given her Rhus Tox 30C for 2 days and the last I gave her Bryonia 30C for 3 days with a gap of 4 hours.

Presently her knee cap pains are very severe and swelling still present. The swelling and the pains have also shifted above the knee cap also.

She still drags her feet and is not able to stand on the feet for a long time.

Now what do I do? Pls advise.

Hello Doctor,

My wife has taken the medicines as advised by you. The pains are still present and still she walks with a limp as well as dragging her feet. Today she mentioned that the area around the knee cap has become numb and that there is no sensation.

She is not able to bend her knees.

Pls do advise.

Dear Doctor,

Yesterday night she mentioned that she felt dizziness/giddiness and she wanted to get her BP checked.

I'll ask her to continue the meds.

Dear Doctor,

As advised, I am posting her mind symptoms.

1. She is suffering from Temperal Lobe Epilepsy.
2. Chilly, covers herself with a thick cotton blanket. Cant stand the chill or cold weather. Lethargic. She will be lying down most of the time. Most of the chores of the house is done by the housemaid. House untidy. Drinks less water and hungry all the time probably with all the medications she takes for her epilepsy. Constant grumbling nature, and any small topic, she would elaborate like a story.

I do not know whether she craves any particular food, but eats everything. But I would say she prefers a bit spicy. She does not even take the pains to test the food for its saltness or any shortage of ingredients. Very weak memory. Does not have the ability to memorize. If she knows one particular way of cooking, it will continue through out without any variation.

Very weak constitution. Gets sick very often. There is no part in the body which she has not suffered any illness.
Grumbling,nagging,cribbing nature.

Even with her epilepsy, she goes to the market and buys stuffs for the kitchen.

Whatever I could remember, I have posted Doctor, in case any further inputs are required I'll post them.

Pls do advise.

Please get an x-ray of her knee....rule out the possibility of any fracture first....

Dear Mathew

Please ask your inlaws details on how the condition started.

Did she have mental issues right from birth?

Any accident during childhood?

Anything gthat you could get about her childhood.

Dear Doctor,

My in laws are no more. If at all they were they wouldn't tell the truth.

They have hidden the fact that she had epilepsy. It was only after the marriage they informed me that she gets recurrent headache and she takes treatment and that it would be cured within 3 years.

Later on I found that they started consulting a Nuero Physician a few days before my marriage.

Also it is there in the family. Her younger sister also gets the attack. The elder sister does not have this problem and very much capable of running the house unlike the younger 2.

After my checking they said that while playing she hit her head against a coconut tree and since then she gets this attack.That was when she was a child.

I find it very hard to believe.I have a feeling that she had it from birth. Now I have taken things in my stride. I have 2 growing up daughters. I spend almost 2500 Rs for her medicines every month.

Primarily all my ill health and stress is because of her.

Anything else, pls do let me know. It would be really wonderful if we can clear her problems.

Many thanks

Doctor,

Today after at about 3 pm it seems she was feeling giddy and about to fall. Somehow she came up to the bed and there after she felt chilly and got herself covered. It seems she had a severe bout and felt like she was about to die.Its just after I came home, she got up and now complains of headache..

Now what can this be.

The typical epiliptical spell lasts for maybe a minute. She just freezes on what ever she is doing. We can only know when she makes the movement for looking for something and belching in between. This last for a minute and she is back to normal. After that she feels drained, but carries on whatever she was doing.

Very orthodox, religious and very inquisitive. Forgets most of the things.

Thats it. Dont know much, but would be glad to give you inputs.

Doctor, can something be done for her giddiness on SOS basis, other wise it would be very difficult for me to make it to my office. A few days before she had the urine infection and the giddiness along with the fall, I had to take 3 days off. As it is a computer reseller, it becomes very difficult for me to take leave.

Pls do advise.

absolutely...
 
Niel Madhavan last decade
Dear Doc,

Today morning also she felt giddy, she stopped her work and lied down for a few minutes and then resumed her work. I had already given her Lyco 200 wet dose first thing in the morning.

Lets wait and watch. Also do look up her med for epilepsy or her constitution med.

I will get back on that in a couple of days...
 
Niel Madhavan last decade
Doc,

She informed me that she is now getting the pus filled taste in the mouth. This was how ealier the urine infection was. I believe it must have probably resurfaced meaning it would have not been cured completely.

Pls do look into it. She felt the giddiness in the evening also.

Dear Doctor,

Got her XRay done. The comment from the doctor is a transverse fracture is seen at the Patella.

Now what needs to be done. Since it is the kneep cap what are the pros and con.
I suppose it can be treated with homeopathy.

Pls advise.

Homeopathy can help in quick formation of cells, but the initial steps have to be taken by the orthopedic.
 
Niel Madhavan last decade
Doctor,

Can you suggest me the medicines which she can take, in the meantime I'll take her to the orthopedic.
and let you know the outcome.

Doctor,

I got her checked by the Ortho. He informed that there were 2 options. 1 option is to put a plaster and allow it to heal, 2nd option is to operate and do fitment. This is suggested is better and she would be able to move around in 2 weeks. This would cost approx 25000/-. I am in a fix. I do not have that kind of money.

Doctor, Can something be done. Pls review.

Like you cured my daughters teeth when all the doctors informed that root canal, capping and brace for alignment is required. You treated her similarly do something for her also.

Many thanks in advance.

Go for the first option and allow homeo drugs to help the healing process. By God's grace, it should be okay...
 
Niel Madhavan last decade
Dear Doctor,

I went in for a second opinion, with another doctor. On seeing the Xray, he advised that he does not see a very big gap and besides she is able to lift up her leg, hence he said that a plaster would do. Got a leight weight plaster done. The doctor informed that she would need to keep the plaster for 3 weeks.

Next day, gave her a wet dose of Symphytum 1M and next day onwards she is taking Calc Phos 6x.

Is one dose of Symphytum ok or do we need to repeat it.

Pls do advise. I'll keep on updating.

Thanks a tonne.
