Creating Waves of Awareness
Quiz 3
This case is during my internship
I was posted in Ortho dept
A lady came with knee joint pain
Age 50+
Thin stature, can say almost skinny
Skin-Dry, Lusterless, thin
She told me both her knee pains
I asked her which side
She told she doesnt remember
I said try to remember it was right or left (i know this was my imature approach)
She became very serious, she said she is much tensed mentally than these pains
I asked her what..
She told she was healthy prior to 10months
Her only son got seperated after marriage (In India all wants joint family, though now a days more n more people are opting for nuclear family )
The next day itself, she experienced pain in knees while getting up after bath
With tears in her eyes she said, "i dont mind he staying seperate but if i get physically unfit how can i take care of my husband.
I dont care about my mself"
I asked her, then why she came here?
She told me its her husband who forced her to come for treatment
She is not much interested in treatment, but will do it for husband
Thermal: Chilly3
Thirst: Thirstless
Observation:- Dressed in a very simple cotton saree, not drapped properly
Follow up:-
One dose reduced pain in a weeks'time
She was very happy that now she can take care of her husband
I was tranferred to other dept, met her aft 2months, she told me she is doing well and very happy
its was her last visit to hospital
:)
So now get ready for new ideas..
Let me get some mind blowing ideas which i didnt thought of
GET SET GO!!!

hi gary,
the remedy is not natrum mur, nor sulp, nor calc
Natrum Mur was one of choice but i ruled out with thermals
Also she is comfortable in sun
Sulph, i didnt thought coz though she was in simple saree n improperly drapped
Saree was clean
(Sulph can be very clean but that is in Sycotic Maism)
She is thin, her miasm is tubercular
Calc for thin shrivelled lady...
I cant think of it
Also calc is very careful abt himself
and she is not bothered abt herself

anyways, baryta carb is not the remedy
she has her own ideas

no confusion

This is based on symptoms provided,with that mental symptoms,i also favor Sulph,and as you don't find this correct then because again of her concern for her family Cocc could have been considered.How ever whatever you cured with please discuss your reason so that we all can see your point of view and learn from it.

I see Silicea. Thin, shrivelled and not caring about herself. Fixed ideas about extended family and forced by husband to go see the doctor. Knees pain and dress plain and simple.

Hello Vaikunthanath,
Silicea is not the remedy
Yes it was one of the choices
Sil if doesnt want to go to the dr no one can take her
Sil is admant about her thoughts
As in Materia Medica Fixed Thoughts
Here I didnt consider about the fixed idea about extended family coz thats normal social idea of Indian society
Thank u :)

Phos ruled out coz She is not interactive, her home is her home
whereas for phos the world is their home

She is dull.
She is chilly.
She is thirstless.
Sepia, Staphysagria.
Sepia has aversion to husband bet here she consulted you because of her husband. Staph has no aversion to husband..The trouble started after seperation of her son therefore Staphysagria is strongly indicatd.
sajjad.

Dear Sadhana,
I took to following rubrics from Bogers Synoptic Key
Joints, knee
Mind, care and worry
and was left with only Pulsatilla.
noted Hahnemanns quote in MMP "It acts best when there is a disposition to chilliness and adipsia", which covers thermals and thirstlesness.
She is selfless and worries about domestic affairs. Also points towards Pulsatilla.

Basically Puls's Thermal is Hot
Its in Tubercular maism puls is chilly
Puls is not selfless
Keep in Puls wants everything in her own way
Tears are her weapons
She will cry at drop of hat to get the things her way
Puls is not the remedy
