A Builder from Malad Finds Relief in Arthritis

On October 11, 2023, a joyous and outgoing builder named Mr P.R. (Patient ID: 49266) approached the Life Force Homeopathy Kemps Corner branch to seek medical treatment for arthritis. This pain had been troubling him for 3 months, slowly affecting his daily activity. Only the finger joints were affected and he also mentioned swelling often on fingers. His range of motion was restricted due to stiffness in his fingers. There was no genetic link to Arthritis, ruling out genetic predispositions. There was no history of trauma or injuries to his fingers. Though his health was affecting his day-to-day activities he appeared to be stable with no signs of anxiety or depression.

Since Life Force had already helped him successfully to get rid of his fissure-in-ano, earning his trust, encouraged by the earlier results, without trying any painkillers or conventional medicines he opted for Homeopathic treatment. Our aim to aid in his recovery was strengthened by his faith in our care.
