HI,

My mother slipped (yesterday evening) and fell on her left side.SHE was alone and it was so painful that she remained on the floor for at least 30 minutes.

At the hospital they X-rayed her and found NO fracture.

She hurt the bone of the thigh. It is painful and she is confined to her bed.She feels the pain in the bone, worse for touching it.

Which remedies can you give here?

Many thanks for your help.

Give her dose of Arinica 200c. then post back in 3-5days

Thanks GARY,

What about giving SYMPHITUm that is for injury to bones that are painful to touch?

And what about EUPATORIUM PERF - "pains as if the bones are broken".

Can I give the to her now? Do they have any place in the treatment next?

Thanks again!

I think Gary has given you the perfact advise.
Arnica is THE remedy for any kind of injury.Contusion,concussion ,blunt..even when bone is injured.
Arnica heals the vessels and slowly rejuvinates the tissue.Even bringing back the original color faster and reducing the scar formation.
Symphytum will help at later stage when the primary healing occurs..skin heals and you are waiting for bones to heal and become strong.(IF there is a fracture involved).Symphytum is for faster healing of BONE.
Eup.Per has FELLING as if "Bones are crushed ".associated with High rise Fever.For eg.Flu.So eup is not indicated at all.
Have faith in Arnica.

i agree use arnica if the pain does not get beter in a week or two go up in potency. i have had great luck many times with arnica even in healing injuries that happened over 20yrs ago. arnica is the remedie that will convert an allopath into a homeopath!!!!

X-rayed her and found NO fracture, then no need for Symphytum at this point.Reason, I said Arnica, it keeps the blood from clogging after a Injury. V.R.Singh
and Virginia Tyler thank you for sharing your points on Arnica

Arnica is disposed to cerebral congestion. Acts best in plethoric, feebly in debilitated with impoverished blood, cardiac dropsy with dyspnœa.
Arnica montana: This is the major remedy for new traumatic injuries—especially bruises, sprains, and concussions. Symptoms are worse from touch and motion. Arnica can be helpful for painful bruising and tissue-damage caused by surgery and dental work—given preventively before an anticipated injury, and used to treat the soreness afterward. It is also helpful in preventing shock.
This remedy is useful for reducing the pain and swelling that accompany any new injury, and should be taken as soon as possible after a break occurs. It may also be helpful in calming the person, since breaking a bone is traumatic as well as painful. Doses may be taken frequently, according to how the person feels. Arnica may be used for several days while pain and soreness are prominent. Another remedy may be indicated later, to encourage proper healing of the bones and surrounding tissues.

Symphytum: This remedy is best known for its healing effect on broken bones, and is also good for bone-bruises. It is valuable if blunt injury occurs to the eyeball (from a rock, a stick, a flying object, etc.) Any injury to the eye or eyeball should be examined by a doctor.This remedy is best known for helping broken bones rejoin and heal. It should be taken after a bone is set to ensure proper joining of the bone. (A common recommendation is to take it several times in the first few days, then once a week while the bone is healing.) It is also useful in many cases when pain persists in old, healed fractures.

HI,

MY MOTHER STILL HAD GREAT PAIN.

In 4 days there is only little improvement.

Can you help in this situation?

Hope to get the comments and asdvice of GM and ANNA.

many thanks.

Staphysagria d200, one dose, Anna agrees.

Thank you GM and ANNA.

I have only 30C potency - will it help ? If YES - how many doses?

There always was a curious thing about my mother: when she took potencies higher than 6C - she got very strong palpitations that made her very anxious. SO, even if I had 200D or 200C - she is unable to take it.

(over the years I tried many ways to overcome this reaction - with no success at all).

By the way, can you please explain why Staphisagria here?

Many thanks.
