Relief in Ankylosing Spondylitis Pain with Homeopathy at Life Force!

Mr. P.S. (Patient ID: 45068) began his online treatment on March 27, 2021, for multiple joint pain complaints. He had been experiencing joint pain for ten years, primarily affecting his knee, shoulders, neck, and lower back. He also developed stiffness in his joints. 

Blood tests revealed that his HLA-B27 was positive, leading to a diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis. For the past month, he had been taking Tab Saaz 1000 mg (one tablet twice daily) and Tab Predmet 8 mg (one tablet once daily), along with painkillers. Unfortunately, these medications did not provide him relief, and there was no improvement in his pain or joint stiffness. He had also previously taken multivitamin tablets.

Physical Generals:

He was vegetarian and reported a decrease in appetite since the onset of his joint pain. He had a particular liking for sweet foods and experienced average perspiration and thirst. He couldn''''t tolerate cold weather well. His bowel habits felt unsatisfactory, while he had no urinary complaints. He was tall, of average build, and experienced disturbed sleep due to joint pain and stiffness, often accompanied by frightening dreams. He worked in a private company and lived with his parents.

Mental Generals:

Mr. P.S. was a quiet individual who preferred not to socialize extensively. He was naturally anxious, non-communicative, shy, and reserved. He felt frustration over not achieving his desired career goals and carried lingering grief and disappointment from past romantic relationships, which he had eventually overcome. He also experienced anxiety regarding his health condition.

Family History:

There was no specific family history of Ankylosing Spondylitis; however, his mother had arthritis, and his father had a history of gastritis and fissure issues.

Past Medical History:

He was also known to have Crohn’s disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and pancytopenia.

Based on this medical information, Dr. Rajesh Shah prescribed appropriate medicines.

Follow-ups:

At the follow-up on May 21, 2021, after one and a half months of treatment, Mr. P.S. reported a 40% improvement in his joint pain relief. The intensity and duration of his pain had decreased, allowing him more freedom of movement due to improved joint mobility. He continued taking methotrexate and painkillers.

He provided positive feedback at every follow-up, achieving a 60% improvement over the course of a year.

During the follow-up on June 12, 2022, after one year of treatment, he indicated that pain was associated with his IBS issues. Dr. Shah reassessed his case and adjusted the medication accordingly.

During the follow-up on October 5, 2022, he reported significant improvement in his joint pain and stiffness. His methotrexate dosage was gradually reduced, and his need for painkillers diminished—a positive indication of reduced dependence on allopathic medications.

By the end of 2023, his pain had improved significantly, and he was continuing with the treatment. He felt very happy about experiencing positive changes in his joint pain and was completely free from allopathic medications. He continued using Life Force medicine, noting that occasional complaints were triggered by weather changes and other ailments. However, during each follow-up, his symptoms were carefully reconsidered, and treatment was adjusted accordingly. 

Conclusion:

Ankylosing Spondylitis is an autoimmune condition commonly associated with a positive HLA-B27 test, often with a genetic component. Homeopathy can effectively help reduce the pain and discomfort associated with this condition.
