An Orthopaedics surgeon’s mother finds amazing results in Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is one of the types of arthritis that is caused due to degeneration and eventually loss of the cartilage of joints. When the cartilage starts undergoing degeneration, the bone becomes inflamed as its protective covering is lost. This causes pain during activities such as standing, walking, etc.
Homeopathic remedies provide amazing benefits, including pain relief and increased mobility.
One such case of a 57-year-old woman who came to our Kemp's Corner Clinic complaining of pain in her shoulder, ankle, fingers, and knees. For over twelve years, she had been complaining. When she used to wake up in the morning, the pain was severe. There was significant damage to the knee joint. Long-distance walking, stair climbing, knee joint folding, hair combing, and other daily tasks were challenging. Her daughter, an orthopaedic surgeon in Germany, had prescribed her numerous allopathic medications in the past, but to no avail. We began treating her on February 23, 2024. In addition, she was taking thyroid supplements to treat her underactive thyroid.
Her appetite was average. There was no specific desire for food and drink. Thirst was less. Sleep was sound and refreshable despite of pain.
The patient was very extroverted and joyful by nature. She was expressive and confident. Her husband was the Deputy Director. Her elder daughter was an orthopaedic surgeon in Germany. One son and daughter were studying in London. The patient was staying in Delhi with her husband.
She never had any major past illnesses. Her mother and father suffered from arthritis.
Following a thorough analysis of the case, Dr. Shah recommended Calcarea carb 200 to her in addition to a few homeopathic remedies based on research by Dr.Shah. In addition to the medications, she was prescribed vitamin supplements.
Follow-ups:
The patient stated on April 2, 2024, that no significant changes had been observed with the medications. The stiffness and pain persisted as before. She was still having trouble getting upstairs and walking. As per the feedback, medicines were revised by Dr.Shah
The patient reported feeling much better after taking the medications on May 14, 2024. Medications significantly lessened the pain. Additionally, there was less swelling and stiffness than previously. She could now walk for longer periods of time. She had no trouble doing about her daily activities. Overall she was responding positively to medicines.
The patient reported feeling much better on December 5, 2024. There was no more pain at all. She could now walk with ease. Her joint did not appear to be stiff. She was quite pleased with the outcome. The patient thanked the entire Life Force team and Dr. Shah for saving her from such a painful condition.
Conclusion:
This case demonstrates that although homeopathy does not promise to reverse osteoarthritis, it offers a comprehensive, secure, and individualized method of managing the condition by reducing joint inflammation, increasing joint flexibility, and enhancing the quality of life. For patients with osteoarthritis, combining homeopathy with lifestyle modifications, vitamin D and calcium supplements, and other therapies may yield better outcomes. Importantly, compared to NSAIDs, homeopathy has no risk of side effects.
