Lower back pain
HiI pulled something in my lower back after doing a sprint while I was running. My physiotherapist said I pulled some ligaments and that I was sore and stiff in the lower back. Ive been taking Ibuprufen for around a week and wondered if there was a homeopathic remedy for my problem. I also cannot lie flat on my back due to severe pain in my lower back, just at the base of the spine. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please take Rhus Tox 30c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for 5 days and report back.
One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Dear Kadwa
There is an injury(trauma).
Rhustox no doubt is a good medicine, but a dose of Arnica 1M will pave the way for Rhustox to act better.

Thanks very much for your replies. Ill order some Arnica and Rhus Tox.
Just another question: Should I order Arnica 1M or 10M? Should I order both in liquid form or as pills. Im also doing some stretches. Is this recommended?
thanks very much again.

On first day, please take a single dose of Arnica 1M. After 4 hours take a dose of Rhus Tox 30c. Please take the remaining two doses (three doses per day) after that at a gap of 4 hours.
From second day onward please take Rhus Tox 30c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours upto 5th day and report back after 5 days.
So you have to take Arnica 1M only once.

If you have already taken Arnica 1 M after this injury you may not take Arnica now.
If you have not taken Arnica but you want to take Arnica 30 now as you have plenty of that with you, i suggest you to take Arnica 30 and Rhus Tox 30 as follows. Please note that the doses should be taken daily.
please take a dose of Arnica 30. After 4 hours take a dose of Rhus Tox 30c. Please take the remaining two doses (three doses per day) after that at a gap of 4 hours.
Please report back after 5 days.

Hi Kadwa
The pain which was due to the pull has reduced. Unfortunately I am still suffering from lower and upper back pain..something which I have developed after pregnancy and due to sitting at the desk for long hours. Do you have any advice as to which medicine I could take for this type of pain. I always get clicking in the upper back and I can feel the bones in my lower back slip and move when Im lying flat on my back. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Clicking in the upper back and I can feel the bones in my lower back slip.
To get rid of this problem you have to use Aesculus Hippocastanum for a long time.

I am also suffering from lower back pain and heel pain. i started taking rhus tox 30 C about 5 days ago, didn't help much. so 2 days ago i also started arnica 30c 3xday and since then i see a difference in pain. is that ok to take?

Whoru,
Yes it is safe to take for a long time. Arnica is good
for anything that started with injury, and it brings
more blood into the area having trouble and it also
reduces inflammation of the area.
You can report this on your other thread, and report in
a week or so how it is going. It could resolve the
entire problem.

It's been a long time since anyone replied to this post. I've had an L5/S1 bulging disc and facet joint hypertrophy which caused me severe sciatic pain. Any suggestions for the same will be greatly appreciated.
crabcanc last decade
Dear crabcanc,
If I were you, I would try the hypericum, symphtom twice a day each
and see how you are in two weeks. Then continue if it goes well.
If everything resolves except numbness etc I would then do ruta grav part.
See what goes on.

Hi Simone, Many thanks for your reply. I tried hypericum when the sciatica was at its worst. It didn't help. I also took lycopodium. Nothing helped then and the pain was unbearable so I had to take very strong painkillers. The sciatic pain has reduced now but it's still there. I can't sit for long periods. Any thoughts?
crabcanc last decade
I think you should make a new thread. Fill out the form-
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/188925
put dr. Showrav's name in the headline. Put down what you
have taken. and then email him
jashowrav At gmail.com - put your entire link on the email,
and ask him to prescribe.
I will wager that he is going to say Ruta Grav 10m, for 7 nights
2 drops. However I think he may have other things in mind
at same time or before.

Cheers Simone. I'll contact Showrav. I have Ruta Grav tincture. Was never sure how to take it. It tastes awful! Is that what you're suggesting? :)
