 Mrs. M. M. (L-9825) walked in the clinic with complaints of severe backache for over six months. Before starting with the treatment, Dr Shah got her investigated for a perfect diagnosis. Her blood and scan reports led us to diagnose her case as that of Ankylosing Spondylitis. She complained of severe back pain, pain in both the legs radiating from the hip joints to the thighs and knees . She had severe weakness with difficulty in walking. These complaints were present since 16 years, but they were more severe since the last 6 months. She was on regular pain killers since 6 months, but they were not of much help to her. She was cautioned by her family physician regarding the pain killers. She was referred to Dr Shah by an existing patient. She stayed with her husband, 4 children and her in-laws. Her husband worked in an MNC. She described herself as an anxious and irritable person. She was very hard working and sincere by nature. She had devoted her life for the family. Previously her five brother in laws also stayed with her. Her husband being the eldest, had responsibilities of the entire family. She co-operated to stabilise and settle each of the brother-in-law. She was strict, disciplined and would shout if they did not listen, she would hit her children if they misbehaved or disobeyed. She said, managing the big family made her very exhausted and irritable. Blood Investigations dated 3 rd July 2006 ESR: - 80 mm per hour. RA Test: Negative. HLA B27: POSITIVE. She was mildly anemic. She was sensitive to the cold weather. The patient consulted Dr Shah. Her case was studied and evalauted in detail. Dr Shah prescribed Sepia 30 C with Thuja 200 C, in varying doses; along with research medicine for Ankylosing spondylitis. In 6 weeks of treatment, the back pain reduced by 20%. In 4 months of treatment, her dependancy on pain killers reduced considerably. The difficulty in walking had reduced. Within 6 months, the pain had reduced to an extent where the patient was able to discontinue all pain killers. She was very happy and expressed her gratitude to Dr Shah for this pain free life. She is still under the care and treatment of Dr Shah. |
