Hi Leilanae

? 150 is as follows
"If a patient complains of one or more trivial symptoms, that have been only
observed a short time previously, the physician should not regard this as a
fully developed disease that requires serious medical aid. A slight
alteration in the diet and regimen will usually suffice to dispel such an
indisposition."

I would read this as a case of DIS-EASE rather than disease with its normal
meaning!

Of course, Aph 150 is extremely valid. But my point was that we had a
particular muscle in spasm and the rubrics and suggestions were covering a
case as if a lot of muscle spasms were taking place. [Of course as Hn2002
says, as an exercise in rubric finding, it was a good task.]

Despite their strengths, the muscles of the back and shoulder are quite
sensitive and can be easily ab-used by over lifting / over stretching or
doing repetitive work.
There are many cases people with tight muscles over the shoulder blade in
people who use the computer mouse.

If they are right-handed, then you find these spasms only on the right side.
However, if you apply gentle pressure from neck down to either side of the
spine you find that the whole area is tender. Gentle & regular massage and
change in posture helps, else you have a case with a maintain cause on your
hand!

Hi Shannon,

Sorry - your mail got submerged somehow. I don't know wheter it is
still interesting, but I found rubrics that may apply in Knerr's
repertory (see below)
