Homeopathic cure for synovitis

Hello,

Im 24 male suffering from synovitis. Currently i am undergoing conventional treatment whereby i am given methotrexate 10mg weekly.

Well, i hope that you people are familiar with "synovitis". Its a condition most commonly associated with Rheumatoid arthritis but is not exclusive to it and can occur independently. In it the synovial membrane (that is the lining of the joints) gets inflammed. And as a consequence results in pain and joint degeneration. I must add here that my RA factor is negative and thus i dont have Rheumatoid arthritis.

It is VERY different from common joint problems where something wrong with the joints causes the pain and damage. And therefore it needs to be tackled differently. Methotrexate is one drug that can effectively curb abnormal cell growth which is the major cause of synovial inflammation. However, like any other drug it has many side effects. In my case it has raised my SGPT/ALT level to 170 and therefore my doctor has stopped me from taking it for the next 2 weeks and resume if a retest brings it down.

It is due to this that i am looking for a homeopathic medicine that can achieve the same result but without the side effects.

I might add here that i have a chronic liver problem as well. Some 4-5 yrs ago i was diagnosed with a fatty liver and eversince then i have had high SGPT/ALT Levels (like 170). My other liver tests are perfectly normal. My doctor says that i have NASH (Non alcholic staetohepatitis). Also i have high uric acid levels (in the 6-8 range). I also have very high cholesterol levels (last time i checked my total cholesterol was 235, hdl 41 and ldl 160). They are always on the higher side.

I have been fat eversince childhood. Currently on a 5 '10 frame i weigh 210 pounds. My waist is 42.

In addition to the homeopathic cure for synovitis i am also looking for some homeopathic medicine(s) that help me lower my SGPT, Uric acid and cholesterol levels. And also help me lose excess weight safely.

Thanks for the reply Mr. Kuldeep.

But sir, you didnt mention the potency or the dosage? Also pls tell me the full generic name of the drug. Is it available in schwabe brand?

And one last thing what about my other problems (cholesterol, uric acid, ALT and weight).

Waiting for your reply.

And would really appreciate if Sabra could take out some time and study my case.

If you read the Silica thread properly you will find that the Silica is a mother potency - that you can prepare it yourself - the dosage is 3/5 drops per dose two or theree times a day.

Having said all that I would suggest that all the symptoms are Sycotic and that miasmatic treatment is required.

Sabra - over to you.!!
 
passkey last decade

I email you right after your own. I am puzzled. I am getting other emails. I wonder if mine are going out.

I am sure I asked for more information. I will email you right now. It is 9pm here in the USA. Let me know if you get it.

Blessings, Sabra

I have successfully treated the pain in my wife's knee caused by Osteo Arthritis for which she and her sister had been taking powerful analgesics like Diclofenac Sodium and even Vioxx which was prescribed to them by the so called specialists. It was to be expected that these powerful drugs only served to deaden the pain receptors and provided temporary relief.

Dr Luc was with us about a month ago on Tsunami relief work as a member of Homeopaths Without Borders and he prescribed Medhorrinum 6 and Sepia 6 to be taken on alternate days but although the pain in their knees abated somewhat, it did not really provide them much relief.

I then used 2 pellets Hypericum 200 in 250ml water succussed as per Dr Luc's instructions and to my surprise this remedy worked in a few hours. However after about 3 weeks on Hypericum 200 with 2 teaspoonfuls taken 3 time daily with 2 succussions prior to sipping them every time, the Hyper seemed to be ineffective.

I was confronted with a problem on my hands and I used just 1 drop of Hypericum 200 in 250 ml water and succussed it 100 times to bring it up roughly to the original potency of the same remedy that was being used before with no relief.

The result was dramatic as all the pain that my wife was suffering from just vanished within about 2 hours after taking the first dose from the new solution.

I have dealt with this therapy in some detail to try to help Faisal who seems to me to be desperate with the pain.
All you have to do is to get a 20ml vial of Hypericum 200 from your pharmacy and get a bottle with 250ml pure water. Put just 1 drop of the remedy into the water and succuss it (hit it hard on your palm) twice every time you take 2 teaspoonfuls every 3 hours. I believe that you should obtain relief from your pain after the second dose and I would like to have your response to the pain on this forum.

I hope and pray that this remedy will work with you as it did for my wife and her sister who also had in addition to the pain in her knee, pain from Sciatica and i addition Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, all of which were cured by this same therapy.

Glad to see you found this board, you will get really great help here, I was talking to you over at the health boards as (drs)! I so hope you find some relief soon. I haven't actually posted on this board, but do a lot of reading of different things, I've been helped myself.

HI, I am having serious problems with synovitis in my right kne now for over a year. I have been to a knee doctor as well as rhuem, x-rays, mri, blood tests, etc. Nsaids are not working at all, and seem very bad for health. This info so far is very helpful to me and I will try some of the above ideas. Have you had any luck with these?? please let me know and feel free to ask me anything as well!!! thanks!!

I received an email alert after your post on this thread.

I would suggest that you use the same remedies that I used on my wife and report your response in a few days.

If however your Synovitis does not respond to the Hypericum I shall indicate another remedy.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
So, I should use one drop of a liquid hypericum(st.johns wort?)in 250ml water, then hit it 2 times before each use? Should only take 2 teaspoons of this water/hypericum every 3 hours? can I stop when I sleep or should i try to wake up to take this? Finally, how long should i do this(i.e weeks, months, for ever?) I know this is a lot of questions that may seem odd, but I want to proceed correctly! Thank you!!!!!

My apologies for not having given you the dosage which I have indicated in my post above about my treatment of my wife, who incidentally in now completely free of all arthritic pain. If however she hurts her knee say by a bump on her knee or by sitting in the same position in a car for a long time when she feels some discomfort, she used the remedy.

You will get Hypericum (St John's Wort) in 200c potency and follow the details on succussion above. The dosage for you is 1 repeat ONE teaspoonful from the bottle twice daily.

You may however use1 tsp thrice daily for the first week to verify if it is your remedy. Please post your response in a week.

I would also suggest that you use my favourite remedy Arnica 6c in the same manner and take a tsp last thing at night. There should be an hour between the 2 medicines.

If Hypericum is your remedy you can use it on need which will depend on your pain threshold and if it is able to help your synovitis. This is the reason why I would like you to post your response weekly for further advice if indicated.

I could only get hypericum 200c in sublingual tablet form, so I got a boiron brand 200c

I also got Silicea as above mentioned in this forum, also in 30c sub-tablet form. Both are Boiron brand. What do you think?? Will this work? can these be taken together?
 
artbrut last decade
You may not use the Hypericum and the Silicea together.

I would prefer that you use either separately for a week and see for yourself which is preferable.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Thank you! I will try the Hypericum first. I also wanted to list more detail for you about my knee. It has been slightly swollen since the start at all times, limiting my range of motion. Like this week, it occasionally swells up quite large to where I can't walk around much. I can't tell if ice or heat work better, I have tried both and neither is bad for it that i have noticed. It isn't very painful, mostly just swollen and limits my range of motion. The doctors I have seen have told me that the lining of my (knee) joint is thick(usually it is barely noticeable) but on the MRI you can see that it is quite thick. The knee specialist said I could have the excess tissue removed, but from what I have read that doesnt work and scar tissue seems to build up just as thick. My knee tends to swell with excessive bending, or kneeling on it. An herbalsit/acupuncutrist reccomended glucosamine, which helped for a few days slightly. I am sure I am leaving some important detail out, so please let me know if you have more questions. aha, I am also vegetarian

Hello! I tried the HYpericum first. It helped slightly, but the swelling really did not reduce. I betgan taking the silicia and the swellin reduced from very inflamed, not able to stand on it, to its "normal, slightly swollen size. It is still swollen slightly and not gone by any means, however it seems that the silicea is helping to keep the swelling at least under control. Was your wifes problem causing swelling as well?? thanks for your help so far! please advise!
 
artbrut last decade
My wife did not experience any swelling of the knee.

Do I understand that the swelling of your knee makes it tender ? Does the joint hurt more when swollen ?

I would recommend that you also use Arnica 30c in the wet dose twice daily. It will help to drain the fluids in the knee.

Report response in 2 days.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
The swelling makes me unable to stand on my knee, it is like a balloon! I have taken Arnica as a sublingual pill for weeks at a time on recommendation from a friend, but it really didn't help. I will try using a liquid arnica and see if there is a diffenerce. Thanks!!
 
artbrut last decade
What potency did you use and how often ?
 
Joe De Livera last decade
I believe it was at least 30c. The brand I have been using has incriments of 6, 30, 100(ish), and 200c.
 
artbrut last decade
I note that you are not certain of the potency and you have not commented on the frequency of the dose.

Suggest you use the wet dose 3 times daily for 3 days and report response.

If there is no response in this period I shall indicate another to drain the fluid accumulation.
