doctorleela - Thanks again for the information and I see again that there is vigorous debate among homeopaths regarding treatment options. I had a previous extended involvement with homeopathy - not helpful I'm sorry to report - but I did observe that although I took 7 high potency remedies over the course of a year, I never suffered an aggravation or noticed any effect at all for that matter. So in this case I feel comfortable taking the Ruta 30 twice a day after taking the Arnica 200 and waiting for 48 hours. I will then switch to Ruta once day when 80% symptom-free. Does that sound okay?
