sore foot

[Jean Doherty]

The kidney meridian affects ? bones and hair . Feel confident about the bones not so sure about the hair and as I understand you have broken bones which then leads me to think of Tub Koch which is the Tub related to the kidneys, Maybe too far out but something if you have not got a neuroma and did not get that knee jerk reaction !,!

There may be a spur like calcaneal spur. I have seen very good results with Calc. Fluor 6x. Heckla Lava also can be tried if Calc Fluor doesn't work.Any chances of sciatic pain has to be ruled to be ruled out.

Thanks Vasn',
Good suggestions, and I will indeed consider those.
Thanks for the thoughts!

Thanks Jean--actually the foot is my husband's, tho.
But Tub has been one of "his" remedies! Anyway, some good ideas I will
look into...

Just "weighing in" on Calc Fluor - also got really good results for a calcaneal spur with Calc Fluor LM1, but in the heel which is I think where they are more likely to be.

Thanks Vera!
I'd love to hear what else you remember--what was the
repetition/duration, and what tie-ins did you happen to see with the
rest of the case?
Thank you!

The patient was a man in his mid 40s who had had an accident 20 years previously that had damaged vertebrae in his neck. x-rays showed that he had a bony spur (don't remember the technical term) from one of the vertebrae that was pressing on a nerve and he was in a lot of pain, which had been significantly alleviated by Staph and Calc Phos. I gave him Calc Fluor since the foot spur had just been diagnosed, it fitted the picture including the neck "spur", and also there is a description of Calc Fluor in the older material referring to the patient having very white skin, which this patient has (not skin condition, just skin colour). This patient also has some special relationship to Calcium, as he has problems with bones and bone position, he has severe muscle cramps especially when lying in bed which have been helped a lot with Calc Carb, and if he could, he would live off yellow and white cheese!
I gave him the Calc Fluor in ascending LMs, I think LM1, LM2 and LM3. At that point there were further changes and I changed the remedy. His group of remedies seems to include Ars, Calc-C, Calc-F, Staph, Bamb-a and Ruta. One particular pathology which I haven't touched with this patient and which seems to be one of the oldest symptoms in his picture is sudden urge to stool during travel, and especially just when he has to leave for a bus, be present for a ceremony, be on time for a meeting. etc.

Anticipatory anxiety. Does Arg Nit fit him anywhere?

Don't think so. He has a strong desire for sweets but they don't aggravate. He has headaches but they seem to be more tension, stemming from the neck problem and tension/bunched muscles in the neck and shoulders.
I've tried him on Lyc in the past, thinking that would connect, but it hasn't. Tried him on Sulphur as an anti-psoric, but that also didn't really touch.

It looks like Dr. Roz was right again! I did not get/make the chance
to see if I could get my husband to kick me in the face , but
instead he did get appointment with a podiatrist, who said it is a
neuroma (tho did not say Horton's). Instead of surgery, tho, gave him
(rats, I should have thought of the likelihood) a "shot of synthetic
steroid" and said it should be fine, at least for now. My husband
understood him to say it's caused by inflammation of the tissues thru
which the nerve passes; but then where does the "-oma" part come in...
But if it's not inflammatory, then why would steroid shot work--??
Anyway, the "tumors, ...neuroma" rubric includes the remedy I was
thinking to try on him anyway...
Thanks again!
