Torn ACL (knee ligament) 4

Torn ACL ligament

Hello,
I had a ski injury about 3 weeks ago in my right knee. I was diagnosed with a completely torn ACL (cruciate ligament) and my knee gave out when the accident happened though it is more stable now. So I'm not putting much weight on the right leg as I'm afraid it is still not very stable. I also have some cartilage damage (small radial tear of meniscus).
Can you pls kindly suggest some homeo medicine that will help in healing the torn ligaments and return back to my routine?

This is creating a lot of stress and frustration so Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your response and remedy. I have a question about this medication. It might be stupid but please bear with me as I'm new to this medicine. I do not have pain right Now. Would this help in the ACL Ligament healing and thus the instability problem ?
Kindly help me with this. Your response is highy appreciated.

What dosage do you suggest using for Calcarea phosphorica?
Thanks.

4 pellets of Calcarea Phosphorica thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours. If the medicine is in liquid dilution form one dose will be 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly. It is generally available as pellets.

Thank you. Also I have a homeo store and if this is not available in my place, do I buy it online?
For RhusTox I'm taking now, should I start expecting results right away and if so what result could I potentially expect to make sure this is working for my body build up :) sorry for the ignorance, I'm very new to homeo and this forum

Once you complete this course you should see the difference. Your knee should appear more normal and your stress, frustration should go away. If calc phos is not available you should procure it somehow.

Thank you. When I try to buy it, there are many options in pellets like 6C, 30C, 200M potency. Which dosage should I be getting?
 
srilatk last decade
i am sorry. i didn't mention the potency. The best is Calc Phos 6x. X is not same as C. If you don't get Calc Phos 6x, you may take Calc Phos 6c in the same way but take it only for 7 days and see.

day 1 to day 5
please take three doses of Rhus Tox 30c at a gap of 4 hours

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.

day 6 to day 25
please take 4 pellets of Calcarea Phosphorica 6x thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours

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.

The above option is the best.

The other option is

day 1 to day 5
please take three doses of Rhus Tox 30c at a gap of 4 hours

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.

day 6 to day 12
please take 4 pellets of Calcarea Phosphorica 6c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours

Hello Dr,
I started using calcarea phosphorica since today. But Sonce this afternoon I have started to feel some tingling pain in my knee occasionally. Also once I felt some pain in the back of knee as I was walking.
I stopped using rhus tox and experiencing this after that

pls advice what to do in this situation
 
srilatk last decade
It is not due to the medicines that you have taken. If you are taking calc phos 6x you may continue, if you are taking calc phos 6c you may stop.
 
kadwa last decade
I'm using 6c. So do I stop calcarea
and continue to use rhus tox again ?
Pls let me know
 
srilatk last decade
Please give a gap of some 5-7 days. Rhus Tox 30 is working internally. You may take rhus tox 30 after 5 days for 2 days. Please don't take calc phos 6c.

I have completed Rhus tox dose. I would like to know What next. Any thing Else we can do to heal the torn ACL ligament and make it more stronger and stable ? My leg feels a lil better than before.

Thanks

'Completely torn ACL' - It is not uncommon to get ACL completely torn.

I think, this usually requires ACL reconstruction surgery. Non surgical approach can improve knee for moderate activity but it does not join ACL - and one can opt for this if there is no damage to cartilage.

Since there is damage on cartilage also, stability will be doubtful.

I think, it is already above month and so it seems you decided in favor of non-surgical treatment.

You may take Rhus tox 30c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for 2 days and then give a gap of 8 days and then again repeat the cycle. The other remedy that will help you is Argentum Met 30c. This is to be taken in the same way. Please take either rhus tox or arg met in a 10 day block. You may repeat this pattern until you are cured.

Thank you doctor. I'm taking rhus tox. Also though I'm able to walk normally for the most part, when I try to jog or (sort of run) I could not, my joint hurts. Would the acl heal itself?

How long di u think it will take to continue with normal dY to day activities and moderate sports.

I have another personal question related to my knee. hope you do not mind answering. We plan to have a baby soon. Will I be able to handle pregnNcy without hurting my knee more ? Also would I be able to put extra weight as a result of pregnancy and be able to walk around during that time?

Pls let me know. I really appreciate your help.

You may check whether tissue salts are available from this website.

If not, Please visit: http://www.sblglobal.com or any other website and see whether you could get the tissue salts.

In case you get the tissue salts, you may implement the following schedule

day 1 and day 2
Rhus Tox 30c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours.

day 3 to day 10
2 pellets each of the following tissue salts four times a day at a gap of 3 hours

Calc Phos 6x
Calc Fluor 6x

You may also take Rhus Tox 200 instead of Rhus Tox 30 and see whether it helps more.

These tissue salts are also suggested during pregnancy.

Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. Please practise these pranayams regularly for half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning. You may practise at any other convinient time. The only restriction that you have to follow is not to do these exercises within 4 hours after meals. You can have meals not within 15 minutes after finishing these exercises.

http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/134752/
Please don't fold your legs. You may do these exercises sitting in a chair. Only anulom vilom pranayam should be done during pregnancy and that too very gently.
