hey bach - here is the problem with your question - this case is not an acute. Her condition is chronic, acutes will resolve on their own (or kill the pt). When she has a flareup of symptoms that is called an acute exaccerbation of the chronic but basically is the chronic condition. SO if you repeatedly dose her with arnica and arnica is only palliating or suppressing then yes, you will run into trouble.

AT this point, if I were you, I would hope that the arnica will act deeply on the injury state back when she was young. If not, than we need to retake the full case.

This is just my humble opinion and you should wait for someone wiser, smarter and of course much OLDER than I to answer. SNoopy? SHirley? Anyone?? :razz:
