DR JEANNE,Thanks for your suggestion re: the homeopathic meds for my back pain.I was not able to go out, since i was in pain.
My back is feeling better (it's been one week) in some ways. But anytime i try to lift anything (even something small like a full glass of water) it hurts.
And being in a car can still be quite bad.
So i called the health food store nearest to me and gave them the name of the meds you suggested. They said they had them and that they thought it would help.
However, when the person picking up the meds got to the store there was a different homeopath on duty. And he said that while what you suggested would be good. He had something that he thought would be better:
Rhus Toxicodendron .I told him exactly how my injury occured. ANd he explained how much he loved Arnica (what you had suggested). but he just thought that the rhus toxicodendron would be better in my case. So that is what i got.
HE gave specific instructions about dissolving them under my tongue (3 at a time). And he said to do it once (with a neutral mouth)(no food remnants and washed out).
Then he said to do that again in 4 hours.
HE also said that i could only take it for 2 days.
But that it was feeling at all better the 2nd day then not to take it that day. But if it was just a touch better than to do it.
I figure i will wait to see how it is tomorrow. And then maybe i will call and ask if i should take it again.
He also mentioned that it can be quite harmful to take it for more than 2 days. Which sort of freaked me out, since i thought the whole point of these things was that they were all natural and less toxic.
I was just wondering what you thought. and thanks.
