Tennis Elbow Was Well-Treated With Homeopathy At Life Force
If you are experiencing pain in the bony nob of the outer side of the elbow or the arm and wrist along with the stiffness and restricted movement then you may be suffering from Tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is an inflammatory and irritating condition of the tissue near the elbow and forearms. It results due to repetitive movement of the wrist and arm, heavy weightlifting, squeezing movement of the wrist and hand, etc. It is very common in tennis players hence the name.
For getting relief in this condition, rest, painkillers, anti-inflammatory medicines, and physiotherapy are generally advised. But, sometimes due to the frequent use of painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicines, many other complaints, such as acidity, constipation, indigestion, etc. are triggered. To avoid these secondary complaints and discomforts, it is beneficial to follow homeopathic treatment for tennis elbow along with the other supportive measures to obtain relief in this condition.
This case study is an example of a good result of Homeopathic medicines in Tennis elbow.
A 69-year-old lady, Mrs. U.S. (PIN: 42384) consulted at Life Force for her complaint of oral Lichen Planus in January 2020. For her oral lichen planus complaint, she had started the homeopathic medicine. Along with oral lichen planus, she also had tennis elbow, acidity, and gout.
She was suffering from severe pain in her left elbow for 15 days. She experienced pain only during exertion, and, except for this, no other symptoms were observed. There was no swelling. The pain was severe and would bother her mostly in the evening after 4.00 pm to midnight. Due to severe pain, she couldn’t sleep properly. She had taken painkillers for 2-3 days but, due to painkillers, her oral lichen planus exacerbated, hence she stopped all conventional medicine and continued to follow physiotherapy regularly. Due to the pain and the inability to take conventional medicines, she was suggested to start homeopathic medicine for her complaint of a tennis elbow.
As per her physical generals, she was a non-vegetarian and fond of spicy food. But, due to oral lichen planus, she avoided all spicy, oily, and non-vegetarian foods. She disliked brinjal. Her perspiration was profuse, and thermally she was hot. Her menopause had started 25 years back.
She was a homemaker. She had two sons and one daughter. Her husband was retired from the government job.
