It's a remedy often remembered for babys colic...

- This agent produces an intermittent neuralgia of the superior
maxillary division of the fifth nerve and occipital headache, with
shooting pains in the eyeballs.
- There is also severe pain along the sciatic nerve which alternates
with a numbness.
- It produces sexual excitement in the male, with pain and irritation in
the prostate gland.
Therapeutics
- This remedy is indicated in sciatica, when there is severe pain along
the course of the sciatic nerve.
- This pain at times is replaced by a sensation of numbness, walking or
any use of the leg aggravates the pain.

scanty and very painful the first day; there is weight and fullness in
the pelvis.

Interesting to note:
There were only 5 provers of this remedy in Allens. I think they all took
tincture. Only one of these experienced sciatica (I suppose you could say
that statistically, 20% experienced sciatica)
Blackwood suggests Tincture 1-10 drops or 3x
Boericke says "a remedy of unquestioned benefit in sciatica, when pain is
associated with numbness of the part affected" --> 3rd to 30th potency

From Murphy
McGeorge cured a very aggravated case of sciatica (left) in a man, resulting
from a strain. The leg was cramped and drawn up, worse in cold and damp
weather. I have cured a number of cases in which there was alternation of
numbness with the pain.
Dr. George Shelton has recorded two cases.
(1) A clergyman, 27, had sharp cutting pains, starting from inner side
right thigh, just below Poupart's ligament, extending down course of
anterior crural nerve to a point about its lower third.
The pains were paroxysmal, came on when walking, occasionally when lying
down, had one or two attacks in the pulpit. In several instances the pain
had extended down the right cord into the testicle and caused him to draw up
the leg, flexing the thigh on the abdomen. This condition was also present
in Dr. McGeorge's case and may possibly be a keynote.
A few doses of ..............1c cured him completely.
(2) The second case occurred in a widow, 68, who had severe pains in outer
side of right thigh for six years during part of which time she had been
confined to bed. The pains were paroxysmal, cutting, tearing, extending down
the course of the sciatic nerve. Attacks worse at night and more frequent,
causing her to roll about the bed and cry out with the pain.
All the resources of allopathy had been in vain. Rhus-t., Coloc., Sulph.,
gave no help. Bell. relieved slightly. ...............1c wrought gradual
improvement and in eight weeks the cure was complete.
Clarke's cases were cured with ...............30c. One was in a very gouty
man, the alternation of numbness with pain being present. Sciatic pain in
worse on lying down, by motion, by stepping, better when sitting in a chair,
better drawing up the limb. Headache better by washing in cold water. Fur on
tongue removed by thorough washing with cold water.
