The ABC Homeopathy Forum
BackPain/Sciatica
2 years back I suppered from a disc herniation and avoided allopathy and tried homeopathy (Lyco 1M and Gnyphallium 200) which did help me a lot. Thouhg I need to hear the back support belt while working, I am happy with the results.Now the problem has occured again and is different, the same region (lower back, L5,S1, tearing pain) has terrible pain in the night when I wake up 2-3 times to feed my baby. Also I always sprain (catch) my right side neck. However this happens only during the night when and early hours when I need to wake up. The back pain is better on rest and movement. The neck pain is only good with resting.
Please help me, please.

Dear Sanjesh,
Your problem would be cured very easily and very soon and can also be prevented from recurring with Homoeopathy.

Try Rhus Tox 30 three times a day for a week then Causticum 200 three times a day for one more week.

I have read in many books about Colocynth being one of the chief remedies for Sciatica. It certainly deserves a good shot!

To Karim,
there's a case of sciatica, in which pain extends from back to the foot(right sided,better by pressure,warmth and walking,agg by standing and exertion). I've read under colocynth that 'pain from hip to knee' but according to modalities, mag. phos. and amm. mur. are also the remedies. what do you think i should go for??

this is in continuation with my last post..i would have rather given the whole case, as this thread deals with sciatica..
if any one could help me out with this case..a 65yr. old lady,indian,heavy body structure very bulky thighs,complaints of back pain extending to foot....sciatica.details of symptoms are as follows:
pain in back,hip,thigh,leg upto the foot, mostly right side,rarely left side[only side at a time..!]
complaint since 10-15yrs. but has become severe these days..
she says,'pain starts when i sit cross-legged, as soon as lt. leg touches right leg.'
she adds,'though i'm busy with my daily routine, but from inside my attention is towards my painful leg'
modalities: better by pressure[very marked, she keeps on hiting the painful leg with her fist! or tells her grand children to sit on her leg or even hit it with as much force as they can..!] also better by warmth,wraping up warmly.no agg on walking. also gets slight relief by massage.
agg. by standing,physical exertion,rest,at night or even during the day while at rest.
i lookd up my books on MM and repertory,i found these remedies:
colocynth--[but in this,though some symptoms match,but pain is from hip to knee only, and agg from walking in this]
rhus tox[symptoms agree, but she is taking rhus tox 200 for a shoulder sprain due to fall,though her shoulder pain is better,but no relief in leg-pain]
mag phos[this covers most of her modalities like >standing,warm,pressure,

To deflower:
I had suggested Colocynth 200,( 2 doses / daily)to a gentleman, long suffering from Sciatica, after reading in a book which described it as 'chief remedy' for sciatica.
It helped his pain go away quite remarkably after 7 days of use, in his case.It's worth the try.
Its also important to assess when to stop taking medication, especially in case of homeopathy, as over dozing / prolonging treatment beyond recovery, sometimes, may aggravate or bring back the symptom itself.
Praying for your early recovery.
It is to be noted that there were also some deviations in modalities in his case, yet it brought excellent results.

To deflower:
God willing, if the patient makes a recovery after taking Colocynth, then bio-chemic Kali phos 6X may be given long term as a nerve tonic.
