My husband's infection is essential gone. He has two more days of antibiotic
and he has taken all the things recommended. He has a another problem which
started a couple of months before his operation but which we thought was
related to his blocked artery. Apparenty it had nothing to do with that as his
sensations and pain have increased since a week after the operation. We
woudn't have known about the infection if we hadnt gone to ER for the pain he
was experiencing. First of all and this may or may not be related...there was
bad pain in his right big toe...always coming on while he was sleeping...this
is month or six weeks before the operation. I gave him arnica and the pain in
toe lessened...and in it's place a tickly feeling came on the top of his right
foot which he refused to scratch believing that he might scratch off the skin
and get an infection. Then after the anaesthetic and pain pills wore
off...and I had given him hypericum lm ...the pain and tickly feeling returned
to his foot but now in the bone going down from the knee and on either side of
the bone. The doctor said this was not from the infection. Dr. said it was
some kind of neurological thing. My husband has said that the lower leg feels
like cardboard, or a pipe, that it is very hard...he shows me that he can
squeeze his left leg but cannot squeeze the right side for it being so hard.
The pain is down the bone and on either side of the bone. Since he has been
worse at night and the pain interferes with his sleep I thought of
lachesis..but also because even his yoga pants touching his leg causes
pain...the slightest touch. Just now he said that while he wanted to scratch
his foot before he doesn't feel like scratching the foot or the lower
leg...Just keeps complaining...its pain...just pain...he gets so irrititable
when describing it...llike it is my fault that he has pain in his foot. And
just now for the first time...he said it was a burning pain...and I said..it
is burning now? and he said..it has always been burning....This is the first
time I heard him use the word burning. The nurse I talked to today said again
this was a nerve issue...he said this was something like his nerves coming
back to life...I gave him a 30 dose of hypericum a half hour ago before he
told me it was burning. Apparently that didn't help. But he is in a foul mood
as he is when he has pain and doesn't understand where it is coming from and
when it is going to leave. He is so gentle in explaining his pain to dr. but
explaining it to me definately sounds like he is blaming me. He has always
been this way around pain and once yelled at our homeopathic doctor who asked
him what the pain felt iike...and my husband responded...It is just
pain....you're a doctor...fix it. And the dr. gave him bryonia and then he
was fine. I'm sorry this is so long.
Are nerves affected after three years of narrowed artery? Is the new blood
flow affecting something in his leg. I thought of lyco because of how he
treats me and how he treats the doctor...but as I've said...he can even be
nasty to a doctor. And this burning and waking up between 1 and 3 am....now I
have to think of burning remedies and arsenicum. He is dyslexic and thinks he
tells me things which he doesn't and I think because he was born a siamese
twin tho the twin died..I think he thinks people should be abe to read his
mind. And has anyone heard of the sensation of card board or a hard pipe?
Should he be going to an osteopath? Again, sorry this is so long...and i
thought this would be my day off....and thanks for any help.

Re: Post surgical issue
Hi Carol
Something struck me from this which I had seen with a patient once who had a recent successful hip op. She was in a lot of pain and told me that her buttocks had gone hard and that the surgeon wasn’t interested in the pain she was in because he said there was nothing wrong with the surgery. It was the hard sensation of cardboard etc. your husband described. I gave the woman Bellis Perenis 200 – maybe 1 dose maybe more but the next day the hardness and pain sensation was gone. I wonder if you feel it is worth trying with your husband.
At least your husband will let you prescribe for him. Mine doesn’t want to know so I just reply ”Suffer then” when he moans about something!!
All the best
Rochelle

Re: Post surgical issue
Combining the Complete repertory, Knerr and Reference Works, I got this:
Hard or hardness sensation (68) :
generalities; PAIN; burning, smarting; touch; agg. (63)
extremities; PAIN; neuralgic; lower limbs (290)
extremities; PAIN; burning, smarting (426)
extremities; PAIN; burning, smarting; lower limbs (314)
generalities; INDURATION; muscles (41)
Nerves; NEURALGIA (79)
As if made of wood (6)
Nux Vomica covers everything but there are other good candidates....does that help?
