knees

[Sarvadaman Oberoi]

Our wonderful homeopath really hooked my husband on being treated
constitutionally with the idea that it just might be possible to get my
husband (58) back to running again through miasmatic treatment. At least
that is our doctor's goal for my husband, in the long run. The thought had
never occurred to me, much as I trust homeopathy to be able to work
miracles!
Husband has not run for about 9 years because of knee pain. Even had
microsurgery to no avail. When he finally began taking
glucosamine/chondroitin in supplements about 7 years ago, the daily knee
pain eased off. He has little pain now, but when he has tried to run again,
it has come back. He is able to use an elliptical trainer and/or a
stair-stepper and does so daily, but he would really like to run outside
again. Maybe with competent miasmatic treatment it is possible... I'll be
back in touch in a couple of years on that. Teresa (Northern VA)
Dear Teresa,
Your husband will certainly run again.
I had mild spinal stenosis in early August 2005 leading to scoliosis at age 56. I started research into homeopathy, treating myself with Hypericum - Ruta - Calc. I also signed up for the Hutch Delhi Half Marathon Oct 2005- starting practise in end august 2005 - could not run 10 steps to begin with- fingers, toes , knee joints would all swell up. Ran and walked 21 kilometres in Oct 2005 in 3 hours 7 minutes. Slightly better by Jan 2006 - ran and walked the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, 42 kilometres in 7 hours 20 minutes - backache, lot of swelling of joints and extremeties - could not even walk after completing run.
For the knee joints I did take oxalicum acidum and fluoricum acidum amongst other emedies. Also Constitutional treatment, various remedies, continued including dewormimg with Cina 6C. Presently Veratrum Viride 6C in water daily.
Ran and walked 21 kilometres in Oct 2006 in 2 hours 53 minutes. In Jan 2007 - ran and walked the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, 42 kilometres in 7 hours 10 minutes. (The day was extremely hot for January.) Swelling, backache and discomfort after the run but less than the previous year.
Ran 10 kilometres, walked 1 kilometre and ran 10 kilometres in Oct 2006 in 2 hours 43 minutes. No discomfort and no swelling except of the fingers of both hands. No backache. In Jan 2008 at age 59 - ran 21 kilometres, right thigh joint cramp, then walked 21 kilometres in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, in 6 hours 55 minutes. No discomfort except right thigh joint cramp and no swelling except of the fingers of both hands. No backache.
Aiming to run the half marathon in under 2 hours 30 minutes in Oct 2008 and the full marathon in under 6 hours in Jan 2009.
Before 2005 the longest run I ever did was 16 kilometres in 1968. I could walk long distances but never needed to run in last 35 years.
Best of luck.

Regards.

Hello all
Lets suppose he will be able to run again. The question then would be if it was advisable? Would he not shorten the knees life? Would it not be better to cycle 200 km?

Thanks, Sarvadaman! I will pass this on to my husband. Re cycling: It might well be better to cycle but he is not interested in doing that. Running was a great joy to him and he hopes to do it again—but not the marathon stuff. He got that out of his system, so to speak, with three marathons in his 30s. He just wants to be able to do 5k or so, off and on, on our stream valley trail. I am thankful for our wonderful homeopath whatever the outcome re running again. Teresa (Northern VA)
