Suspected Arachnoiditis

[devinhog]

My daughter received an epidural steriod injection for scantia 7/5 and
has had severe unrelenting pain ever since. Her doctor suspects she has
arachnoiditis which is a cronic inflamation of part of the spine which
makes the nerves clump together in the spine. She has received pain
meds, muscle relaxers, neuropathic medications, etc. Nothing makes her
better only releives the pain somewhat. Is there any hope through
homeopathic medicine?

Cimicifuga is a good bet.

Another possibility--I am not familiar with this condition, but since
it involves nerve damage and severe pain, might hypericum come into
play?

Medmidas--can you explain why you think of cimicifuga?
Thanks,

Your best course of action is to find a good homeopath near you and have your daughter seen at once. There is always hope, but mail-lists like this one are not the place to seek treatment advice. In fact, we're not allowed to offer it.
Peace,
Dale

BTW, what *is* scantia? Googling didn't get me anywhere.

Sorry pain from the lower back down in to the legs.

Yes I understand. Just wondered if homeopathy could help.

Homeopathy could definitely help.

I have treated - not necessarily arachnoiditis- but many similar
conditions with good results. Even though individual results may
vary, there is a much better chance to affect this using homeopathy
than otherwise.
Also, even if no one has any experience treating this, that does not
mean Homeopathy cannot be effective against this...

I call Homeopathy as "Solution in search of problems". It already
has a materia medica - we do not have to hunt for a new medicine
for a new disease- we already have the solutions - so, as and when
any new condition or disease comes up - we can apply the
solutions....

EXPLANATION:-
*Cimicifuga. [Cimic]*
This remedy is especially adapted to the reflex form of spinal
irritation arising from uterine complaints, and where the lumbar region
is most affected. There is sensitiveness to pressure on the upper and
lower cervical vertebrae; the patient cannot lean back in a chair; pains
change about from one part to another. The pressure also sometimes
causes nausea, and there is weakness of the lower extremities and aching
in the lumbar region. Amenorrhoea may be associated with these symptoms.
Sulphur has spinal irritation from suppression of the menstrual flow;
jarring causes pain in the spine. Dry heat in spine. Belladonna. Burning
heat in spine. Stitches in ovaries, bearing down and constant backache.
Gelsemium. Stiffness in neck and nape, with weariness and depression.
Deep seated muscular pains, numb feeling as if feet were going to sleep.
Hypericum. Spinal affections from injury; parts tend to atrophy, pains,
spasms.
