A violent pain in
the back, as if broken, is the greatest characteristic of Rhus in backache. It
is more characteristic than the symptom "relief from
motion", for Rhus may be indicated where the patient is worse from motion.
motion", for Rhus may be indicated where the patient is worse from motion.
Rhus seems to be especially suitable to
affections of the deeper muscles of the back. There are great pains, dull,
bruised, and aching on attempting to rise, showing, thus, the aggravation on
commencing motion. It is more suitable to the chronic forms of lumbago, while
Aconite suits the acute forms, and will oftentimes give prompt relief.
The backache of Rhus is
better from pressure, but worse in bed.
The Rhus patient likes to
lie on something hard.
Natrium
muriaticum
Natrum
muriaticum has this same symptoms - backache relieved by lying on something
hard. The Rhus pains are relieved by bending backwards.
Ruta
graveolens
This remedy is indicated when tremendous
stiffness is felt in the muscles or joints, especially after sprains or
twisting injuries. The person feels lame and sore, and experiences relief from
lying down.
Sulphur
Sulphur has lumbar pains, with sudden loss of
power to move; worse before a storm, reminding of Rhododendron. Petroleum and Ruta
have pains in the back in the morning before rising. In Staphisagria
these pains compel the patient to get up early and move about. This symptom is
found also under Kali carbonicum; it comes on about 3 a.m. , and is
accompanied by pains shooting down the buttocks.
Ledum palustre
Ledum
has a stiffness in the back, similar to that experienced when one sits still
for a long time.
Hypericum
perforatum
Hypericum
has aching in small of back and stitches, and is especially useful in women who
are forced to lift and strain and go up and down stairs frequently.
Bryonia alba
Suits
a lumbago of quiet type, with great aggravation on moving.
This remedy is indicated when back pain is
worse from even the slightest motion. Changing position, coughing, turning, or
walking may bring on sharp, excruciating pain.
Gnaphalium
polycephalum
Gnaphalium
will sometimes cure a chronic backache, a tired aching in the lumbar region
that saps one's strength and ambition. Worse from continued motion, better
resting, especially on the back. The more chronic the backache the better
indicated the remedy.
Calcarea
fluorica
This
remedy has quite a clinical reputation for curing backache, and especially the
backache simulating spinal irritation. It has pain in the lower part of the
back, with a fullness or burning pain. Lumbago worse on beginning to
move and relieved by continued motion, or lumbago from strains,
will find in Calcarea fluorica its remedy when Rhus fails. It also follows Rhus
well.
Kalium
phosphoricum
Kali
phosphoricum, another of the tissue remedies, has a rheumatic lameness worse
after rest, and on just commencing to move; there is a paralytic tendency,
worse on rising from a sitting position. Some remedies have a backache worse
from sitting, notably Cobalt, Zincum, Sepia, and Cannabis Indica. Lumbago worse
when first beginning to move may call for Anacardium or Conium, as well as for
Rhus.
Nux vomica
Another remedy in
backache, especially if referable to spinal affections, is Nux vomica. It is in
the lumbar region, is worse at night when lying in bed, of a drawing,
lacerating or bruised character, with perhaps sudden stitches in the back, and
a characteristic is that the patient must sit up in bed to turn over. It has
also a morning backache, and the longer the patient lies in bed the more the
back aches. Backache is also worse during constipation.
Lycopodium
clavatum
Burning as from coals between the scapulae;
stiffness and pain in the small of the back corresponds to this remedy.
Oxalicum acidum
Oxalic acid has an
acute pain in the back relieved by change of posture; back seems too weak to
support the body. The pains are worse when thinking of them, accompanied by
debility and numb feeling in the limbs, aching pain in lower part of back
between shoulders.
Sepia officinalis
Sepia
is very frequently indicated in the backaches which are due to uterine disease.
It is a general weakness in the small of the back when walking, and is worse
while sitting. Sudden pain in the back, as if struck by a hammer, relieved by
pressing back upon something hard.
Aesculus
hippocastanum
Aesculus
is often a useful remedy in backache which, like Sepia's, is worse when
walking. It is a severe, continuous, dull aching in the lumbo-sacral region,
affecting the sacrum and hips, and the back "gives out" when walking.
Backache during pregnancy will often be suggestive of Aesculus, when especially
worse from walking or stooping.
Cimicifuga
racemosa
Cimicifuga
has violent aching in the back in women, dependent on uterine complaints,
especially in rheumatic subjects.
Arnica
Arnica is a remedy
with a well-known reputation for its usefulness in injuries and pain to soft
tissue and muscles. Pains are sore, lame and bruised with great sensitiveness
to pressure. If the backache results from contusion or trauma then the affected
part becomes blue and black due to the extravasation of blood.
Bellis
pernis in Mother tincture form can help in acute pains as a
pain reliever.
