Protruded Disc in Lumbar area

Hi, I am 50 year old female with none stop aching in Lumbar area L3-L5. I have been diagnosed with protruded discs in this area and went through all kind of physical therapy for 2 years with little succsess. I am aching now and both of my feet are tingling what is very irritating. Any remedy, doctors? Please.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I forgot to mention that I consulted with homeopath and took Calc Carb 200c following Ruta 30c with no improvement. This is a very long history of back pain, at least 20 years of pains are going on and off, with 2-3 years of remission.

Hi Regina,

Besides the protruded disc's does your
MRI show stenosis or exotoses? If so please
visit the site http://www.homeopathycenter.org.

Put - Aging Spines feel young again in the
search box and read the article. This is a
prescription for Cal Flour cell salt once a day
and Heckla Lava to reabsorb the extra bone
that the body makes to cushion the discs, but
then this 'extra' can impede the nerve flow.

I would try this out for a few weeks and see
what happens-impressive results here.

You are right, they told me about mild stenosis and displacement of some discs.

simone717, are you a doctor or just read an article? Thank you and also I want to hear different opinions.

Regina,

I am not a doctor, I have used homeopathy for over 20 years and have been a serious student for the last two
years.

I have also helped out a couple friends and 3 relatives
that have had your problem. Taking people to homeopaths, chiropractors, physical therapy, every kind
of massage available, acupuncture, yoga ,etc and I
am very interested in this problem.

Not everyone who has a disc problem or stenosis or
exotoses has pain. One of the people did all I mentioned
above and had religious morning stretch exercises and
he was back to normal after about a year and a half with
all the above activity. Another person did the above and
shiatsu massage stopped the pain, and he has minor
stiffness only. The others finally got surgery and fused
the disc. I have not seen or read cases where the homeopathy worked on this, unless the person had it
from an injury or was in their 20's or thirties and it
came from too much desk work -other than the thread
I put above on stenosis and exotoses.

It is worthwhile to get your case taken by a homeopath
or put your case on here and have someone prescribe(btw
we have no MD's on this forum.) We have a couple real
homeopaths with a practice- click user names) but
if you don't have results-that treatment by that homeopathic MD in that article makes
a lot of sense.

Good luck.

I had some homeopathic doctor's advice and it didn't work. I went through acupuncture, osteopatic medicine, accupressure. Everything works for short period and extremely expensive. I had a few minor car accidents so I know i have a case of old injuries. Thank you, I ordered those remedies on Amazon.

Regina,

One of the places where homeopathy has worked
actually is old injuries. Sometimes there is a
course of Arnica in high potencies that really
does solve things.

I suggest you email Dr. Fleming, a contributor on here,
he is a homeopath in Norway. Ask his opinion,
he has done some of the Arnica/car accident
cases.He will review your case for free and give you
his opinion. His user name on here is Parakletos,
his email is Parakletos2012 At gmail dot com.

Let him know about that article also.

Best,

Simone717

Dr Flemming was so nice and agreed to help me so he told me to start with Arnica 10M to clean blood clots that makes perfect sense. Simone, if you would like to follow my case to learn homeopathy I can pm you details.
 
ReginaUS last decade
Thanks for thinking of that Regina. I would love to follow your
case. Click my user name and my email is there. If you wish,
put updates on your thread here bc everybody learns,
Doctors and students alike.

Best regards,

Arnica 10M helped me a lot. Today I was told to take another dose as soon as wearing out. later on he recommended Hypericum 10M. I will follow his advice since it works. Thank again.
 
ReginaUS last decade
Thanks Regina. Please keep updating your progress on here.
Wonderful that you are getting better.

Best,

Slightly concerned about my dosage, although my symptoms have greatly improved after taking those remedies.

I appreciate your input as a second opinion.
 
Stary 7 years ago
I would stop meds for one week.
Observe,and see what goes on.
You can report here, and it is not going to hurt anything by doing this.
 
simone717 7 years ago
Yes
I have taken only for 7 days and have stopped since last three days and symptoms seems to be improving.
Does it mean these are right remedies ?. Will continue to do so for few more days.

Everyone is different in how their life force responds to potencies and amount of doses.

The goal of the remedy is to activate your life force to do the healing.
So, if you are improving? Your life force has been stimulated enough by the remedy and doses.

You now wait and watch the improvements and see how long they keep going for.

If you take More?when life force is responding well? You end up with proving symptoms (google materia medica of----) or you end up aggravating -a worsening.

I think you already knew intuitively to stop.Good work always pay attention to that.

Homeohelper often gives good prescriptions but huge amount of doses. He has done this for years.
Each person is different and when remedy is making things worse or better- you stop and observe.
 
simone717 7 years ago
Thank you so much for your input and advise and yes I cannot thank enough homeo-helper for prescribing me a wonderful remedies as well.I will take your advise on board. However, I am not sure how he will react when I will be reporting him about not taking further dose according to his instructions.I hope he will not be offended
Regards

Its been a week that I have stopped remedies, my symptoms have greatly improved. However,there is a sense of weakness on my back and legs area particularly when i sit down on a chair. There is 25% stiffness remaining on my back with mild discomfort on a lower back area.Hard for me to sit for about 8 hours on a chair although I do frequently get up.Should I take further doses ?
 
Stary 7 years ago
Wait another week and report -
You have to see if there is furthur progress From previous doses.
 
simone717 7 years ago
Hi Simone
My stiffness of the back is not improving any further. I do piriformis stretching exercises regularly from last two months which I believe helping me as well.I am a active person who walks daily about 2-3km sometimes even more. However, when I sit down on a chair I get tired easily,and I started to get nervous as well.I have also a problem of digesting a food that is way I tried to walk as much as possible. I get easily irritated and my mood swings regularly which I do not have any control on them.

I have been to homeopath (hard to say if they are qualified or not). He has disregarded my MRI report and concluded that there is a problem on my stool pipe and my digestive system is upset which are the source of my symptoms.He also stated that Rhus Tox and symphytum 200 could only cured me but would not healed. He wanted to self medicated me for two months without my knowledge of prescription.
I appreciate your advise.
Thank you.

I would do homeo helpers advice again for a few days and see if improvements go furthur.
