Dear Rafy
Bryonia is often indicated as it is better for pressure, << for any movement.
One of the tests for Appendicitis is that one gentle approaches the area finding out the extent of the tender area.
Then one gentle presses on the tender area and the patient does not complain. One then takes one's hand off rapidly and the patient scream in pain!
Always arrange for transfer to emergency room.
Give Bry 30 in water with 10 succussions between each dose while waiting for the transport (ambulance).
Good luck
Soroush

Dear Soroush,
Thank you.
In her case she is the opposite of Bryonia:
She is much worse for pressure on the painful area (she has a dull pain there) and worse for lying on her painful (right) side.
Regards
Rafy

Rafy-
Most of the repertories cover this as Typhilitis - also perityphilitis
Also refer to Caecum in area

The case as you have given needs more information ( which you might probably already have)

what is the actual nature of the pain

when did it start

what are clear cut modalities - aggravation and amelioration

Ask the patient and attendant what does the patient DO when in pain? Is the patient quiet, jerk with pain or what... Bryonia patient will not move - will be very quiet...Dioscorea is the one moving about with pain on lying...

How do you know that the patients pain is increasing and also ask what does the patient constantly do when in pain and in between pain...
Time modalities, thermal modalities ( what happens if ice / water is put on that spot, bathing etc, position modalities, motion modalities, food related modalities are all important- also stools ( frequency, nature etc) , urine, etc.

Concomitants are important too- so make sure you get the time line right and what was happening through out - basically how the symptoms evolved...

Get a couple of good modalities, concomitants you can nail the acute case.

There are so many medicines that can come out - so trust the symptoms to guide you - do not prejudge the case ( remember in acute symptoms there is no classification as antipsorics, chronics etc.) Lycopodium, Lachesis etc, have as much chance as Bell.

Bell, Bry, NV are the 3 main ones I would look at-but have used even Calc for colic / peritonitis -

Take a look at Lilienthal's therapeutics and Carleton Medicine and Surgery

Even Yingling Accoucheur's has some generic key note indicators-

My son took Tub 10M when he was around 12...and got a pain in the area of the
appendix. I took him to hospital and he was fine..but he had a pain in that
area for about 3 months before the Tub. A few days after the Tub..the pain got
worse and then disappeared forever. The doctor who prescribed for him did not
know about this recurring pain...he prescribed based on the shivering when he
got in bed(in winter). Later...i read in clark's materia medica under
Tub...under abdomen..pain in appendix area.

Why "chronic" as opposed to "acute"??
