I have a patient with a torn rotator cuff. Correct name Supraspinatus infraspinatus. Patient is female mid fifties and very physically active, especially tennis. Had this problem 10 yrs ago with surgical rotator cuff repair, MRI shows muscles have detached again and she is facing surgery. Any suggestions please?

This is just where I would use Bellis Per 10m.
Have not used for this particular problem but for many similar.

Even if you manage to effect some degree of repair in this woman's shoulder with homeopathy, it is almost inevitable that some weakness will remain there after the past surgery. Whether or not she manages to escape further surgery, she should definitely consider changing her sporting activities from tennis to something which does not strain the shoulder.

Remedywise, I would probably give whichever joint/tendon/injury remedy (Ruta/Rhus-t/Arn/Bell-p etc) matched her symptoms best. If it wasn't at all clear and there's little time to spare, I'd probably mix the top 3 together in 200 liquid potency and give daily plussed for a week or two. Incidentally, those are practically the only remedies I do mix together and they've worked magically for me personally in severe acutes.

We have one school that says we should give one single remedy at a time and wait [ Hahnemannian ?..]

And another which use the "pick-n-mix" method [ Empiric?. ] , increasingly popular.

Dear passkey

I said that these were paractically the only remedies I have mixed together - and then only if the picture is not clear. At all other times I use single remedies in a very classical way.

However, firstly, in acute injury syndromes it is firstly very difficult to differentiate the injury remedies since pain and dysfunction are often so severe as to overide any modalities. Secondly, I was told about this method by a very experienced classical homeopath, and when I have mentioned it to other classical homeopaths, I have found that by and large they agreed. Thirdly, when I say they have worked for me personally, I mean that I have used them on myself on two occasions of severe acute musculoskeletal pain and found that healing was unusually speedy and sustained.

I am a pragmatic practitioner, and I will not sacrifice therapeutic effectiveness for theory. If you sincerely think what I have described is a "pick-n-mix method", you must be pure beyond measure.

I have used Bellis 10m both for other people and on myself for some 30 years and as far as i am concerned it will be more effective than your Rx

Gilly
Are there any strong modalities?

Have now located the lady who has this problem , As is often the case we are working in the dark.

None of us had the full picture and none of the remedies we suggested would have made any serious improvement in the overall condition !.

Major problem I want to solve is burning thoat in wind pipe area, gas/indigestion with or without foods, very bloated. I smoke and love coffee, now drinking only one cup of caffinated in the morning and decafe after that, also I' ve been drinking decafe green tea too.

What I take daily: thyroid med., fiber powder, tea for elimination, Nat. Phos. 6x. Magnesium citrate, calcium citrate with vit. D.

Just started taking every other day Lypo-spheric Vit. C it is a dietary supplement Utilizing liposomal Encapsulation Technology with maximized bio-Availability Delivered via "Smart" Liposomal Nano-Spheres.
I'm on my third packet and take it every other day till I'm used to it. It cleans and detoxifies the liver, and delivers Omega 3 and 6. Can get some symtoms of this detoxification. This why I'm starting with every other day.

Explanation of this supplement....They are sub-mircoscopic bubbles made from Essential Phospholipids----filled with a chosen supplement--that are able to navigate through the digestive system directly to a particular "target" where the release their contents. This type of encapsulation eliminates degradation of the supplement by free-radicals, enzymes, digestive juices, bile salts, foods or other active substances before it is made available for use by the body. As a result, individuals may see dramatic increase in the amount of the supplement actually usable by the body. It's to maintain cellular, glandular, hepatic and cardiac health.

Feelings: Want to be alone, but tolerate others, not very patient lately, but don't make waves, sensitive to critical people. Sick of feeling full and unhealthy. I do like to help others. Good at incouraging others to be good to themselves. Not overly critical except of myself. Want to turn details over to others and feel overwhelmed at times with them. Sensitive to cold weather on skin. Have frostbite on most of the body. Like massages, dislike tickling or soft tickel type touch. Lethargic in the afternoon, about 1pm. Not sleeping well. Wake off and on a few times at night. Sensitive to noises. Unexpected noises can startle me. Don't like windy conditions, especially on face and in ears, but have chills then hotflashes and need a ceiling fan on low at night. Sometimes feel jumpy or trembly in stomach area.

I'm taking Naturm Phos. 6x as needed after meals, the feeling of being full is coming on with half of what I could usually eat prior to this gassy indigestion and burning throat. Which started aprox. 3weeks into March of this year. I started out with Power dopholus before or with meals and Mag. Phos. 6x, 4 balls after meals. It helped some on my ablility to burp. Now I'm taking Magesium citrate and 4 balls of Naturm Phos. 6x, 4balls, after meals if I'm feeling full. I was reading some other posts and was thinking I should discontinue? I has seemed to help. But have I overdone it? I'm wondering if I can continue with this Nat. Phos. and if the dosage is OK. I take arnica at night.

If my stomach is empty it sometimes also feels full under the rib area, along with the burning throat.
My throat burns if I bend over, and if not elevated while laying down.

I'm going in for my physical this May 3rd and will have the doctor look into getting an endoscopy done. I do not want PPI's as my digestion is important. I recently read an article that bacteria (not the kind found in the stomach H. Pylori) can get trapped and live in the esophogus and cause some people to have gerd like symtoms or heart burn. Not sure yet if that may be the problem. I do not want to take antibiotics. I want natural healings if possible.

I have IBS (the constipated kind) very painful when gas is trapped in the colon. I take a fiber powder in the morning and drink a tea after my last meal of the day. This is called, Klenz tea and Internal sweep. It's the only thing I've found that keeps working for me to eliminate daily with the least amount of painful gasses in the colon. There are many herbs in this stuff.

I've also realized that some of this constipation problem is nerve related. I have found if I'm browsing in the Library just reading the binding of the books on the shelf, my gas will start to move with the possibility of a bowel movement. Thinking it must be a brain mode or something. As I'm relaxed and browsing.

I had all my top teeth extracted last Oct. and have had dental work done on my lower teeth to keep them in good shape, I have some hypersentivity on a couple teeth and they are treating this with floride(not the drinking kind, and I don't get floride in my well water) and sensodyne toothpaste. (I'm not thrilled doing anything with floride.) But have been doing the treatments to desensitize the bottom teeth. There are only a couple of really bad spots and I'm trying to treats just those.

9yrs ago I grew a very large tumor in my abdomen, the size of a volleyball, they called it a chocolate tumor, they took an ovary and my appendex at that time. One year later I grew another one and had a total hysterectomy 8yrs ago. The doctors concluded my female organs were causing these growths. I'm also on thyroid meds. I had thyroid cancer in 1989 they took out the lump and shut my throid off with med. I'm taking a little over what I need, if they lower the dosage it ends up too low. This is why I can't regulate the hotflashes. Before I get a hotflash I get the chills and use a rice pack to feel warm, then the hotflash starts, I can feel my heartbeat where my extractions were in my mouth first, then I start to feel hot all over, and very short tempered at that time. My hair has been dryer and turning grey since the hysterectomy also.

I have problems with my rotater cuffs hurting and the chiropractor is having me do some excersises for strengthening. Seems to be helping some but have problems with raising and lower arms, the shoulders hurt.

I have chapped type skin around nostrils. It gets sore. It's like oily and flaky. Same type of skin in between brow area.

If I bump my hands the bones hurt alot. I also get hot spots on my hands if I have to grip something. Like vacuuming I have to wear gloves or I get these hot areas that also itch. Takes awhile for it to go away.

Tried to describe as much as possible, let me know what else you need. Thanks in advance.
