my sister inlaw just had twins c section. she is experiencing severe headaches and back pain. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

without more detailed info, impossible to select a homoeopathic remedy.
a cranial osteopath could probably sort it out, since they work on the spinal fluid.

her due date was the 20th she started bleeding on the 9th and they took the babies. the nurses aren't sure wether air got into the spine or if its muscular. the boy got a lot of blood in his lungs and is in icu because of labored breathing the girl is slightly jaundice and is not eating very well she is spitting everything up and having difficulty swallowing and sucking. the mom cant pick her head up the pain is so great.

lemm, i would like to be able to help from here, but really there is nowhere near enough info of the kind needed for a homoeopathic prescription.
It would be the best to get a recommended local healthcare professional -homoeopath or cranial osteopath or cranio-sacral therapist - onto this case right away. it is the kind of situation that can leave a person with lasting consequences if not treated in the present, even though it will likely resolve itself as an acute situation within a few days.
all the best, Anna

thanks anna her doctor said air in spine it should clear up in 7 days if not they inject a blood patch.

Was it a spinal tap OR an epidural? If it was from an epidural would effects of anesthesia be inicated?

Barb,

Robin Murphy talks about this kind of headache after a spinal tap. I think even if it were an epidural, it's having the same effect; plus we've got a puncture wound, an injury to the spine--it's enough right there to consider Hypericum, but there's a rubric:
Headaches: Spinal, spinal injections, after-Hyp(3)
it's the only remedy. So, I would give this poor woman Hypericum as soon as possible!

Snoopy

According to Murphy's Repertory:
Emergency chapter, Spinal tap, pain after--
Arnica(1), Ledum(1), Hypericum(3).

This suggests that your best bet is Hypericum 30C
in water--I say in water because you may need to take it more than once, and stirring vigorously before each dose will prevent antidoting or aggravation.

Snoopy

Thanks snoops - that clears things for me. I was just confused when the title of post said spinal tap - but I think it must've been an epidural so I was looking into effects of anesthesia.

Where the heck did you come across that last rubric? And why didn't I find it?
