Dear List,
This is a case given by one of our grand old men.
He himself set it up as a sort of quiz. Try to work it
up. Lot of things to be gained.Will come up with the
answer in a week.

CASE:
a man of about 50 years, of a blooming, almost florid
complexion, usually cheerful, but during his more
violent paroxysms inclined to outbreaks of anger with
decided nervous excitement, had suffered for a few
months with a peculiar kind of violent pain in the
right leg after the previous dispersion allopathically
of a so-called rheumatic pain in the right orbit by
external remedies, which could not be found out ; this
last pain attacked the muscles of the posterior part
of the leg, especially from the calf down to the heel,
but did not involve the knee or ankle-joint. The pain
itself he described as extremely acute, cramping,
jerking, tearing, frequently interrupted by stitches
extending from within outward ; but in the morning
hours, when the pain was generally more endurable, it
was a dull burrowing with a bruised feeling. The pain
became worse towards evening and during rest,
especially after previous motion, while sitting and
standing, particularly if he did it during a walk in
the open air. While walking the pain often jumped
suddenly from the right calf into the left upper arm
if he put his hand into his coat-pocket or his breast
and kept the arm quiet, but it was relieved while
moving the arm, and then the pain suddenly jumped back
again into the right calf. The greatest relief was
experienced while walking up and down the room and
rubbing the affected part. The concomitant symptoms
were sleeplessness before midnight, frequently
recurring attacks in the evening of sudden flushes of
beat with thirst without previous chill, a
disagreeable fatty taste in the mouth with nausea in
the throat, and an almost constant pressing pain in
the lower part of the chest and pit of the stomach as
if something there were forcing itself outward.
