Minutus

Had an accident today in the garden. Old ankle injury and 3 broken toes on left foot taking a very long time to heal (6+ months) but improving slowly over time. Pulling out a large old dead root system I stepped back and onto a loose rock. Old injuries started to ache immediately. As day went on, pain steadily increased in old injuries and left knee started aching slowly. Now (about 6 hours later) the knee feels like it is about to seize up (currently still have motion). Pain intense on bearing weight. No swelling or bruising (took 1 Arnica 30c within 30 minutes of accident).

Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your kindness.

Would think of Rhus Tox and Ruta. There must have been sudden strain. Rhus if better heat. Wih Ruta I think a ittle injury to periosteum, Jean

Hope this improves soon. To add to Jean's post, might also consider
Eupatorium-perf. It produces soreness in bones - and can be an acute rx
after injury; and is to be thought of when there is recurring soreness in
old bone injuries (though I don't see it in the below rubrics). Esp.
indicated of course if sensation like bones were refractured. It affects
many aspects of bones, including periosteum and condyles (the latter
feature mentioned because of the "seize up" sensation).

Some rubrics which might yield (other) ideas:
Gen Pain injuries, after, old, in
Gen Pain parts injured long ago
Gen Injuries fractures (pain in old)
Injuries old

Best,
A
Would think of Rhus Tox and Ruta. There must have been sudden strain.

Very much part of your case now though is the fact that you've got an old injury that is taken a long time to heal, so really this is an exacerbation of a chronic state and I would opt for the 'broken bones slow to heal' rubric and add << jarring on to it. Rx suggested will be there but others as well to study.

Thank you for your diagnosis, however sometimes fractured toes are simply the result of a heavy desk falling on a foot. And sometimes an old ankle injury is the result of stepping into a hole where a tree was removed and the grass grew over the hole – making it ‘invisible’. And slow healing is the result of tending to an injured relative and not having the luxury of staying off of it during the healing process.
Thank you for your kindness in offering a consult – however in this case, the acute is simply an acute.

I have had similar events in my life. I look at them as an injury that left a weakness which can be
aggravated easily. So the healing is not just the fracture or initial sprain but the residual weakness
in that joint, muscle, ligament or tendon. And that is what needs healing.
I have used homeopathic acute remedies with very limited success but have found the constitutional
worked much better. A rotator cuff injury 20 months ago is a case in point. Very little stress would
keep aggravating and causing painful inflammation as happened this past summer. The constitutional
rx seemed to work quickly. I also work with cold laser (low level laser) and that helps significantly.
It was this healing protocol that rebuilt the soft tissues in my knee and enabled me to avoid crippling
circumstances in my life. This protocol also strengthened the soft tissue in my wrist which let loose
one year allowing the bones to fall out of place--big ouch. Actually that is exactly what happened with
my knee but I didn't know about the laser at the time and homeopathy was doing zilch. Two short
treatments with the laser did the healing of the soft tissue and I have been free of the problem for
5 yrs now.
I know we all like the great successes of homeopathy, but when a rx is not chosen quickly, an acute problem
can become a chronic weakness with long term consequences. With great humility, I try to stay open to
other processess that can speed healing.
