A 34-Years-0ld Man Gets Incredible Relief From Spondylitis & Life-Changing Experience With Homeopathy
34-years-old Mr. A.A.G (PIN 21708), who was a diagnosed case of ankylosing spondylitis and polyarthritis, visited Life Force on 25th September 2013. He presented with severe lower back pain, lower back stiffness, and pain and swelling in ankle and knee joints with difficulty in walking and bending forward. He also had complaints of left frozen shoulder. He had stiffness and restriction of movements in the left shoulder.
He has been suffering from ankylosing spondylitis for six months. He had a similar episode of lower back pain 10 years ago. Since then, there was stiffness in the back which was gradually increasing. Before six months, he suffered from urinary tract infection with blood in urine and joint pains with swelling of the lower limbs. He was then admitted to the hospital. His MRI reports dated 17th April 2013 were suggestive of ankylosing spondylitis. His HLA B27 blood report was also positive. While he was admitted, he was on high doses of steroids, methotrexate, and pain killers. He was completely bedridden for three months. He was on steroidal injections once every month and a high dose of painkillers from the past four months. If he omitted the painkiller or steroidal injections, his pain and stiffness would increase tremendously affecting his mobility.
He was working with Toyota Motors, and his job required standing for long hours. So, along with all these complaints, he also had developed varicose veins on the lower limbs. He was suffering from swelling and pain due to varicose veins. He was not only suffering physically but even mentally. He felt very low. His day-to-day activities were affected, and, at such a young age, he had become dependent on high doses of steroids.
His appetite was decreased. He had a strong liking for spicy and non-vegetarian food. He tended to perspire profusely, and he was sensitive to the cold weather. His sleep was also disturbed due to pain and persistent thoughts regarding his disease.
He was residing in Mumbai. His wife was working in a private firm and they had a 3-years-old son. His father was working with a private firm, and his mother was a housewife. He had two sisters, and both were married and settled.
He used to get angry easily. Any contradiction or reprimand would irritate him. He felt that his mother deprived him of a good job opportunity in the Indian Navy when he was in the 10th std. Since then, he had developed anger towards his mother and used to express his feeling of annoyance and strong displeasure related to that incident.
Both his parents were having heart complaints. His mother was also suffering from joint pains.
After studying all his case details and medical reports in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed his research-based medicine for ankylosing spondylitis.
He visited the clinic and gave his first follow-up on 12th November 2013. His lower back pain and stiffness were better by 25%. His relief from pain and swelling over the knee and ankle joints were also considerably better. His complaint of the left frozen shoulder was 50% better. He was still taking painkillers twice a day. He had no relief from his pain and swelling of the legs affected with varicose veins. He was advised to start wearing stockings for varicose veins.
On 1st January 2014, he reported that he was further better. His swelling and pain of knee joint and left frozen shoulder complaints were significantly better. He still had some swelling over his ankle joints. Now, he had reduced his painkillers dose to just once at night. His complaints of varicose veins were better by 20%.
He reported on 25th February 2014 that his lower back pain and stiffness were 50% better. He occasionally had swelling and pain on his left ankle joint. He had no complaints of knee joint pain and left frozen shoulder. He had completely stopped taking painkillers for six weeks. He had further experienced a mild improvement in his relief from the complaints of varicose veins. Dr. Shah upgraded his prescription with Lycopodium Clavatum 30, 2 doses along with the research-based medicines for ankylosing spondylitis.
He visited Life Force on 11th April 2014 reporting 70% improvement in his complaints of low back pain and stiffness. His frozen shoulder and knee joint complaints were completely better. He still had occasional pain and swelling with very mild intensity on his left ankle joint. His pain and swelling due to varicose veins were 25% better. He had not taken any painkiller for three months now.
When he visited Life Force on 22nd May 2014, all his complaints were 80% better. He had some pain in his left ankle joint since the last three to four days. He was free from painkillers for six months now. His complaint of varicose veins was also 50% better.
Conclusion:
A well-selected homeopathic medicine dose can perform wonders even in such difficult cases. Mr. A.A.G. who was bed-ridden for three months and completely dependent on steroids and painkillers for his mobility was significantly free from pain and stiffness of joints in just eight months of the homeopathic treatment. He is no longer dependent on conventional medicines. He is still under our maintenance treatment for further recovery.
