Also Jessica, the sensation of pain in the homoeopathic Symphytum proving is "pricking". If this is not what your friend is experiencing then Symphytum is not homoeopathically indicated. From the little you have described it sounds more like Arnica. It would be wise to do a differential between all the acute 'trauma' remedies based on the symptoms before prescribing anything.

The homoeopathic Symphytum remedy is difficult to obtain here after a naturopath incorrectly prescribed the remedy in a ridiculous posology schedule and caused stomach ulceration and internal bleeding in a patient. The AMA does not need any more help to discredit us, and regardless of which country we live in, we owe it to ourselves to take heed of our own science and art of prescribing first and foremost and not play into anybody else's hands.
