Severe swelling around the joints
Hello!Thank you for taking the time to have a look at this.
I am 32 years old, male, from india now living in the US. I am 5'8" tall, 133 lbs.
I have persistent swelling in my joints for the past 3 years, so severe that I limp almost everyday and have pain sleeping atleast one day of the week. There has been no particular allopathic diagnosis apart from some arthritis related illness, all rheumatoid arthritis tests were negative. Have been taking Ayurvedic medicine for the past year, until a month ago.
A month ago, I contacted Dr.Sahni and got a homeopathic prescription and have seen great improvement in my symptoms but have not been able to contact him anymore, so would like your advice on what to do next.
Symptoms
--------
1. Bone swelling (sides of knee, calf, arm)
2. fluid around the joint (knee, elbow, jaw, shoulder) - present every day, severe on 1-2 days of the week.
3. Sleep disrupted when swelling is severe and results in pain.
4. Constipation
5. Bloating/Passing gas.
6. Severe bad breath
7. Mouth sores
8. Eating beans/high protein food increases swelling.
9. Losing weight - food not assimilated/absorbed.
Dr.Sahni prescription
---------------------
1. Lycopodium 1M, One dram pills. Pl take 3 pills empty stomach daily for 5 days only and follow it with
2. Bryonia 200c, 2 dram pills. Pl take 3 pills thrice in a day before each meal daily for 3 wks.
Pl continue with your Thyroid medicine as usual and stop taking Ayurvedic medicine.
Pl stop Milk products, Coffee, Cabbage, Tomato & Banana during this prescription.
Medication
----------
1. 5 days of Lycopodium 1M (Dr.Sahni)
2. 3 weeks of Bryonia 200C (Dr.Sahni)
3. Synthroid (for hypo-thyroidism)
Current state
--------------
I just got done with Bryonia, have some swelling daily but the magnitude is greatly reduced from what it was a month ago.
Since I am unable to contact Dr.Sahni, I would appreciate if someone can tell me what my next steps should be. Please let me know if I should stop the medication or continue it.
Also, please let me know what diet I should follow. Since a high-protein diet caused my symptoms to aggravate, I had stopped eating beans/tofu/potato/brinjal/green chillis/chapati etc earlier but would like to continue them if they are not really the cause. That along with no-milk/milk products has left me with very little stuff to eat.
Thank you very much.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
continue with bryonia 200 plussed doses.
Take half litre water,and mix about 5 to 6 pellets in it.Take a sip.
When you want to take the next dose,shake the bottle well atleast 10 times,and take a sip.
This shaking should be done whenever you take the medicine.
Take two times a day.Once the bottle is half empty,add more water,and continue the same way.
Add a few drops of alcohol to preserve the water.
Keep posting.
