Case:35yo F
Main symptom is PAIN. Centered in Lt groin, extending to Lt iliac crest and
Lt knee. Deep, sharp, unbearable pain, causing her to cry out, bend double,
drawing up Lt thigh > heat, lying on Lt side, pressure, < cold
Duration of symptoms lasting 7 years. Clinically diagnosed with
endometriosis and complicated ovarian cysts. Surgery in March 2000 to
remove 8cm complicated cyst on Lt fallopian tube and 4cm cyst on Rt ovary,
diathermia for endometrial deposits.
Symptoms ameliorated for about a year and slowly increased again. During
the past 2 years, the pain was directly associated with onset of menses, so
intense, requiring ER treatment with i.v. pain killers. At this time the
pain was associated with vomiting and diarrohea.
Jan – Jun 2002 on progesterone 30mg/day to suppress cycle – no periods for
this time. Normal period 2 weeks after finishing course. Now the pain
described above almost everyday for a few hours.
Pain causes feelings of despair and hopelessness. Leaves her feeling very
fatigued.
Bowel habit variable, sometimes easy evacuation, sometimes difficult,
always regular. Lots of flatulence, abdomen feels slightly distended.
Timid personality around certain people, easily upset to tears, esp when
feeling fatigued. Happily married. Not really outgoing, prefers to be
alone. Fastidious. Fears affects of this on her fertility, no children as
yet but would like to have some.
Remedies. I have thought of Coloc for the pain and Thuja for the underlying
pathology. I would like peoples advice on this and what sort of potency to
use. She has been administered Puls in the past with little effect.
Thanks
