Sciatic pains , heartburn
Hello Dr.Niel,My mother aged 73 years is suffering from a burning pain in the right knee that aggravates after getting up from the sitting position.
She also has pain in her left thumb and it makes it difficult to hold objects.
She used to have panic attacks several times in a month.It is not that frequent now.She says her throat burns (not just a burning sensation) constantly.It ameliorates when she drinks water or eats dry fruits.Aggravates after food.
She is averse to sweets and salts as gets a bitter taste in her mouth on having sweets or salty things.
Please help her in dealing with her health problems.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.Niel,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
The details regarding my mother are as follows( in her own words,i have only
typed the matter):
1) I am suffering from Siciatica since 10 years.I was ok for 3-4 years after
homeopathic treatment.I could walk briskly for upto 4 km .I also used to
exercise everyday and climb stairs.It recurred after some years.
2) One day during exercise i heard a sound in the right knee region and after
that there was immense pain in my right limb.I had to walk taking the support
of the wall.Allopathic doctors termed it as osteoporosis.
Steriods were given to alleviate the pain then some liquid got collected in the
knee region and it was removed with a syringe.I have always depended on
homeopathic medicines so i stopped allopathic medicines immediately after that.
One homeopathic doctor treated me for around a year and my condition
ameolirated in the beginning and then aggravated.He could not control the
aggravation for many months so i had to stop going to him.
I now have severe pains in my leg and i limp when i walk.It is difficult to
stand after sitting.
3)I used to have panic attacks.It is under control now.
4)I still suffer from 'heartburn'.It subsides when i eat raisins, not so sweet pepermints, milk and buttermilk. I dont take hot and spicy foods to avoid acid reflux.
5)I experience a sharp pain in my left thumb.i find it difficult to handle objects.
Mind : I am a woman of great will power.
Emotions: I cant see any dead person.whenever i see, i cannot sleep the whole
day and i will get palpitations.
I easily get offended in someone insults me or throws someone else's anger on
me.I reply with sudden emotion in a crying tone though i dont really cry.
I am very anxious if some family member goes out and would not come on time.I
calm down once i get a call from them.
Aversions: I am averse to sweets and too much salt.I get an unberable bitter
taste in my mouth after having salts and sweets.
I cant tolerate strong smells either good smells or bad like coffee, perfumes
etc..
i cant tolerate heat during summer.i sweat a lot and i cant wear thick clothes
or cover myself with thick clothes.
I like the windows open always. I want more air in all weathers.
My apetite is good.
Bowel movements are satisfactory.Not a diabitic.
B.P is 150/90
Sleep : ok. I can sleep only for 4 hours during the night. But i get sound
sleep in that time.I often take naps during daytime.
Memory: my memory was very good.Now it has become weak.I forget names and take
sometime to recall.
Thanks Dr.Niel
Padma.

Hi Dr.Niel,
The medicines she was prescribed by the earlier homeopath was : Medhorihinum in the 200,1M,10M potencies.
Higher potencies was given after a gap of 1 month if necessary.
She recently visited the Govt.Homeopathic hospital and was given Causticum 200. Burning sensation in the knee region has reduced to some extent after that.
Joint pains and pains in the right limb still remains.
Thanks.

Looks like a medicinal aggravation. Let's wait for a couple of more days. Then we will re-assess the situation.

Hi
Please stop Biocombination 19 for now.
These are positive signs indeed. Start with Calcarea phos 6x in exactly the similar fashion as Biocom 19.
To Zambian : This is the last time I am replying to you for ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES. I have come to a firm realisation that replying to you or discussing something with you is useless because you have a closed mind governed by a thousand prejudices.
You seem to me a DEVIATED GENIUS. You have the required knowledge to help people out of your problems, but you have chosen the wrong way.
Being ignorant can be an excuse, but shutting your eyes off knowledge when you have plenty of the same is a BIG MISTAKE.
Please read my reply to you in Mitashi's thread. When the physiological action of drugs is still manifest in material quantities present in low potencies, combinations are okay. Problem is with combnation in higher potencies.
And bochemic combinations is safe and corresponding effects clearly known. It is not shooting in the dark like you always do. Plus they also don't hinder the effect of homeo remedies.
Regards
Niel

Hi Dr.Niel,
I again have severe heartburn.Having the usual Dal and Sambar is also difficult.
Can i eat peppermints? Somehow if i eat peppermints then the heartburn subsides.
Unberable pain in legs.
I have a fungal infection in my finger nails since some years.There is swelling and inflamation and pain around the finger nail.It was black (dark green )earlier but it went away after applying Tuja ointment.It is still hard around the nails and it burns if i touch detergent or soap.
I get black spots in front of my eyes.Doc said it cannot be corrected.No medicine was given for that.But i still feel as if a spider is hanging in front of my eyes.
I use dentures.Due to that i have a hard boil on the lower jaw since a month.
I have developed a severe backache after the first dose.
Please suggest what measures should be taken if i am about to have a panic attack?I usually take gelusil in liquid form to neutralise the acids.I would like to stop that now.
Thanks.

Well this is somewhat tricky .At this age 0f 73 , cure is very difficult , but let us try .
What was the response to Causticum 200 prescribed by Govt Hospital .
What happens to pain after 11 am .
Is the pain better while resting , on moving .
Does pressure on painful parts help .
