Twisted Ankle, Fell down Stairs; went from very athletic to barely walking ((Kind Attention Anuj Srivastava or any Practitioner)

1. Can barely walk without pain to Left Hip and Left knee after fall
2. Intense pain during sleep to Left leg, hip, knee (approx 5-6 hrs in)
3. Contractures Leg muscles - unable to straighten knees
4. Migraine - headache nightly for over 11 yrs - always Rt Frontal Lobe
5. Poor circulation?

-Over the age of 65 yet prior to this fall, cycling 25km/day; walking 8 miles a day up steep hills; always 'on the move'.
-2016 - Twisted Lt ankle; fell down concrete stairs
-Bedbound for 3wks; after that, resumed all of previous activities
-But each year, noticed Lt leg stride was shortened and some pain began L hip, groin & knee.

-Discovered that when I landed on my L side, it displaced my pelvis and can feel my femur kind of moving inside my hip socket
-This radiates to back pain
-As of 2 years ago, I am basically bed-to-chair

There ARE times when I can stand up straight and walk 'almost normally' but it only lasts for about 5-10 minutes, so I know there's hope.

Have been to all the various specialists; presently with a Physical Therapist. She states that all my leg muscles have shortened; she's working to lengthen them.

Intense pain to L leg (but sometimes R leg) when sleeping after about 5-6 hours and if I eat fats/oils (I'm normally a Plant-Based Eater, but sometimes I cheat) and this definitely makes it worse. So does that mean poor circulation? In the past, I 'have had some angina' but haven't experienced any in the past few years. Constant head pain Rt front lobe every single night for 11 years; wake up in middle of the night between 3-5am; sugar makes it worse as does frequencies of any kind (such as meditation freq's or Rife)

Obviously with all of this, my leg muscles have weakened as has my spirit.

With the advice of some friends that have studied Homeopathy, I just took Arnica 10M about a week ago. Have not noticed any positive change as yet, (perhaps more negative changes which I understand 'could be' normal before I get better) I'm told with that high a dose, it takes time.

Appreciate any guidance.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You have taken very high dose of Arnica. For injury cases 30 potency is sufficient. You can use Arnica 30 three or four doses at 3 hour interval.
It is possible that you will need other medicines (Rhus tox) to deal with muscle problem and Calcarea Carb for bone injury if any. They will come after Arnica. Arnica, Rhustox and Calcarea Carb forms a series in injury cases.

Your reply is most welcome, thank you.

I should wait a few weeks before I take anything else since this dose was so high, is that correct?

If that's the case to wait a few more weeks, do I then take Rhustox and Calcarea BOTH at the same time? And if so, how often and how many pillules and how often?

Thank you... I'm new at this.

You can take Rhustox roughly 7 to 10 days after taking Arnica. Action of Arnica does not last beyond 10 days, It is a short acting medicine.
You can take two doses of Rhus tox 30 in a day at roughly 12 hour hour interval for 3 days and then stop. No medicine for a week. You may need to repeat Rhus tox. Calcarea Carb will be required if anything remains after Rhus tox.

Wow, thank you for that wonderful information! Just one more question please... how many pillules of each do I take?

Nancy Nurse said Wow, thank you for that wonderful information! Just to clarify please...
1. How many pillules of each do I take?
2. If I do need to repeat RhusTox after that week of 'no' medicine, do I then stop all meds for another week before deciding if I need the Calcarea Carb?
3. I need the Calcarea Carb, do I take it the same way as the Rhustox? And how many pillules

Actually it does not matter how many pellets you take for a dose. You may use 3 or 4 pellets
Whether you will need to repeat Rhus tox after the gap depends upon what symptoms remain. However I would suggest not to do it on your own. Update after the gap and then we can decide on that.
Calcarea Carb is a long acting medicine and for an adult 200 potency will be needed . Only one dose in one month. No repetition before 30 days generally.

Hi there. I just wanted to be sure that you knew this injury was 6 years ago? Does that matter with what you've prescribed? I will start on Wed as that will be 7 days since taking the Arnica 10M.
 
Nancy Nurse 2 years ago
It does not matter how old the injury is.
