For Dr Nawaz Khan

Thanks Dr Nawaz for responding.

I am not feeling any pain at the moment. Recovery is going quite well, its been 12 days post surgery and all the stitches(8) have been taken off, surgery incisions are dry now with no sign of infection. Infact have been told that I can wash the wounds now but will wait for few more days.

Undergoing physiotherapy almost daily, achieved 85-90 degree bending in first 10 days itself on CPM w/o any issues, but have been strictly advised by the Physiotherapist that graft takes around 6 weeks to set in and not to rush, so moving on gradually as per the protocol.
There is no swelling or numbness on & around knee although slight swelling and numbness occurs on the front part of ankle when I keep my leg elevated for long periods but it eases of as soon as I start moving it.

Regrading the decision for opting surgery, it was a hard one and infact I did a lot of research and took opinion from lot many people.

Hope and pray to recover soon with Almighty's grace.

Warm Regards,
RN

Dear Nawaz Sir,

Hope you are keeping well.

As suggested I have been taking Arnica 200C, 1 more day to complete a week. Currently I have achieved 90-95 deg. of leg bending & around 110 while hanging downwards. Is there any medication which would help with achieving bending and regaining muscle strength faster(Currently my thigh muscles have become pretty lose). Kindly suggest.

Warm Regards,
RN

Sir,

It's been 2 days now after I took the medicine prescribed. The only noticeable thing was my mouth became very dry after I took the medicine and remained so for a while, no other prominent mental or physical changes.
Kindly let me know incase you have any specific questions.

Have a nice day ahead.

Warm Regards,
RN

Nawaz Sir,

Could you please suggest further in my case. For your kind info. I have crossed 120 deg. flex and now walking without support although have a slight limp. It's my 4th week post surgery. Currently undertaking strength & balance exercises. There is slight swelling around my ankle which turned a bit blackish-blue in colour, I thought it was due to blood circulation but the surgeon said it is OK, nothing to worry.

The only thing annoying me is the strength & size compared to the un-injured leg.

Warm Regards,
RN.

Dear Nawaz Sir,

Many thanks for your help, will move ahead as per your guidance.

Had another request to make only if you could help, of late couple of problems have been bugging my mother. Kindly let me know if you are fine with me posting the details here itself else will start a new thread?

Warm Regards,
RN.

Sir,

You are a generous & devout person as evident from your words:), honoured to get in touch with you.
May HIS blessings shower on you and your near ones.

Regarding my mothers' details:
She is 53 yrs of age, and suffering from following ailments:
1) Hypothyroid, Blood pressure, Diabetes - these are under control through medicines & excersies (yoga & walking).

2)The ailments which are giving her problems are i) Dizziness caused probably due to vertigo (started December last year). Upon consultation doctor has prescribed her few medicines like VERTIN 18/16 etc. But this issue again resurfaces as soon as there is gap in exercise routine or gap in taking medicines.
This dizziness is most prominent while rising from bed after sleep also results in vomiting sometimes. It is really affecting her and she is reluctant to go out alone due to fear.

ii) Second issue of concern is formation of VERICOSE veins on her right leg. As it results in itching and if there is a unfortunate break it may not heal or heal very slow since she is diabetic. She has been advised to wear stocking during daytime.

If you could help with the above I would be really grateful. Kindly let me know and I'll arrange for any more details required.

Warm Regards,
RN

Sir,

Following medicines are being taken daily:

1) For Diabetes:- (i)Amaryl 2mg (Glimepride Tablets) 1 daily.
(ii)GLYCIPHAGE (Metaformin hydrochoride extnd. release tablets) 1 daily.

2) Cholesterol:- Ecosprin & Fibator 1 each daily

3) Hypothyroid:- Thyronorm 150
mg.

4) Vertigo:- Bilovas & Vertin

5) Varicose veins: She takes an ayurvedic medicine but is not regular with it.

She is not aware of the type & I couldn't speak to her doctor at the moment but I think she is a type 2 diabetic as she is not taking insulin & her wounds take long to heal.

Regarding her mental symptoms I think it is Fear(although she does not admit). She is afraid of staying alone and is somewhat too much concerned of our(I & my younger brother) well being. When asked she told me today that after waking up in the morning, she has a feeling that she will come across snakes in kitchen, bathroom etc.
Normally(as I know) people with Vertigo illness only have a feeling of falling over but does not actually fall down when dizzy but my mother falls down if there is no support around surprisingly.

Another point I would like to put forward is that except for hypothyroid all other ailments were diagnosed after we (I & my younger brother) moved out of the city after completing our studies.

Kindly let me know incase more details are required.

Warm Regards,
RN

No issues at all Sir, please take your time.

Many Thanks.

Hi Sir,

I am back with another request:)

Actually I have recovered quite well now and planning to get back to work for which I may now be required to move out of the country. Hence if possible could you please provide me with a list of medications(all permutation & combinations) that may be required for me(post acl surgery recovery)?
As I will be moving to a new place it may take a while before I can locate homoeopathic drug centres.

Between out of interest got few books on homoeopathy, one of them is cures by Dr. Reckeweg it mentions a remedy for hairfall & dandruff as R-89. It has the following ingredients alfalfa, hypophysis, juglans, kalium phosphoricum, lactuca sativa, lecithinum, oenothera biennis & polysorbatum.

Is it something you would recommend? Actually hairfall & dandruff are probably the most common ailment these days & I am one of the sufferers so was thinking of giving it a try.

Warm Regards,
RN

Hi Sir,

Its been only 2 days since mother has been taking the medicine, as of now no noticeable changes. She does not bow down out fear for feeling dizzy.

Regarding my details, apart from Berberis Vulgaris Q I am taking couple of Vitamin tablets daily on prescription of my surgeon who performed the surgery. I am having no other ailments(as I am aware of) as of now and not taking any other medicines.

Physical status: Height 6', Weight 73 Kgs(was 81 kgs before acl injury 4 months ago)
Used to workout 6 days a week prior to injury. Lost few kgs as I stopped to work out, its constant now.

Regarding my mental state I am an emotional person who takes stress pretty easily and is always concerned for my family(similar to mom). Kindly let me know if more details are required.

Travel has been due for sometime now couldn't travel because of injury would be travelling in a few days from now, within 1 month.


Warm Regards,
RN
