Carol,

I just reread your first post, and I realized something! We have remedies to prevent scar tissue from forming! The doctors would know nothing about that! We have calendula in potency, we have silica, we have thiosin....

I'll have to assume that there's some reason why they can't do a needle aspiration.

Uhm....should you give rhus tox first....It depends on which is the most recent and which is causing the most suffering; you have to ask yourself, "What's the worst thing? Which is causing the most suffering, the most limitation?"

I have to tell you, she doesn't appear to be in a rhus tox state at the moment. Ice cold drinks would aggravate. It looks more like a phos. case at the moment. Desire for milk is a keynote for rhus tox, they are, of course, very restless, can't get comfortable....You could check the materia medica and see if she's in more of a rhus or phos state. If you believe that she's phosphorus, it might clear the whole case; or she may be left with just rhus tox particulars which will then respond to rhus tox.
