Mr. G.M, a 36-year-old male, dedicated army personnel whose life revolved around rigorous training, discipline, and serving the Indian nation, walked into the Life Force Homeopathy clinic in Aundh, Pune, seeking relief for his distressing Lumbar Spondylosis (Patient ID:54014). His life took a challenging turn when he started to experience persistent lower back pain and stiffness that made bending forward almost impossible task in 2018. MRI confirmed his worst fears; he was diagnosed with Lumbar Spondylosis. He informed of having pain 2-3 times a month, each lasting 4-5 days, making it difficult for him to perform his duties. The severity of the pain was moderate to severe agony. The prolonged hours of sitting, jerks, and physical exertion worsened his back pain. Slow and steadily his mobility reduced and daily activities became a painful task.
While giving a case history, he recalled how repeated jerks during exercise have left a mark on his back. He did try Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and multivitamins for 2-3 months, but discontinued painkillers due to adverse side effects. The following were the medicines he had taken: Tab. Razberg Ace (Rabeprazole, aceclofenac), Tab. Proxym XT, Tab. Coxrella MR (Etoricoxib, thiocolchicoside), Cap. Selova Plus (Methylcobalamin, alpha-lipoic acid) before he saw us.
In his quest to resume his active lifestyle, pain-free mobility and normal activity, he explored other treatments for relief, and then Mr G.M. came across Life Force Homeopathy, sceptical yet hopeful, and started treatment in March 2024.
