The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Stiff shoulder and acidity
My right shoulder has a knot at the intersection between the neck and shoulder. This is very painful and the pain shoots to my little finger. When pressed or massaged gas passes and I burp each time. I also have acidity and have to keep on taking medicines for it like Mucaine Antacid, Eno salt or Pudin Hara, a herbal remedy available in India. I may also take Zinetac tablet and Nise or Novalgin which are banned elsewhere, as nothing else makes my headache go away. I also try homeopathy medicines like IrisV, Carbo Veg and Nux Vomica (only at bedtime) but nothing really seems to help.I have quite a few knots all over my body and some of them pain when pressed(lipoma?)
I am a 51 year old man, slim build, fair, wt 68kgs, height 58.
Can you help me?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Nat Phos 6x will help your acidity problem. Dose 2-3 tablets taken after each meal preferably after lunch and dinner. Stop all other medication as they may be counter productive in resolving your problem.
I cannot help you with the knots in your body but it is possible that the Nat Phos may resolve this problem as well as it will promote peristalysis in the stomach thereby preventing acidity.

Thanks Joe,
I am not taking any medicine unless i get severe headache or acidity. Nat Phos seems to have helped my wife too after she read your post on it.
Will post the results after a few days.

Thanks Joe,
two days with Nat Phos 6x has meant no headache or acidity. But what about my stiff shoulder.

Glad to note that your acidity problem is resolved. You can keep a stock of Nat Phos 6x handy and whenever you feel uncomfortable after a meal you can safely take it instead of all other antacids, salts etc that you have used in the past. Suggest you take 2 tablets after lunch and dinner for about a week as this may help your shoulder problem.
Quite frankly I cannot figure this problem out as what you have stated in your first post about how you burp when you press some point is a puzzle to me. Feel free to keep me posted with your progress in a few days.
I note that your wife too has used this remedy and I presume that she is using it like hundreds of others today to reduce weight.

No Joe, I also have severe acidity due to many medicines taken for different reasons and am taking it for this. Yes the water accumulation in my body has lessened to quite an extent and have lost 2 kgs due to it. But fat content seems to be the same.

You will soon observe that your body bulk will reduce appreciably. You will be able to slip into all the clothes that you have discarded throughout the past years. I can only presume that this reduction is due to the body fat being absorbed and I hope that more people will use this amazing remedy which I discovered last September as being the ultimate weight reduction formula which is very safe in use.
You must keep on taking it regularly twice daily after meals and your acidity problem will resolve itself permanently.

I have again had a serious attack of acidity. No medicine helped. I even took the antacids and Analgin tablet but still nothing helped. I had taken IrisV 30, Carbo Veg 30 for this severe headache and acidity, but nothing. I had to use balm at bedtime for a small relief. I must say that I have not been eating out of home.
In the end a dose of Nux 200 may have helped but am still having a lot of acidity. Joe do you think Nat Phos 30 will help. or what?

You have not indicated if you have been taking Nat Phos 6x regularly and also if your attack of acidity occurred in spite of your taking it.
You should also give detalis of how this acidity problem occurred. Did it occur after a heavy dinner ? If so it is important that you do not partake of any heavy meals, at least for some time as it is possible that your stomach acids and enzymes are not sufficient to deal with heavy meals. If this is in fact the case, you should only eat small meals especially at night to avoid any future problems.
Remember that Nat Phos 6x will help both your acidity and your weight problems and it is important that you keep in contact with me through this Forum in the future if you wish to be cured.

Yes Joe, I have been taking Nat phos 6x regularly. Despite this i had a very bad attack of acidity for about 3-4 days. Have taken Nux 200 1 dose and have started Chelidonium 6 once a day. Am also taking antacid daily 2 times.
had posted from another computer so did not notice the different name in my last post.

If Nat Phos has not helped you, it is likely that there is some other reason for your problem which I cannot diagnose on the web.
The nodules that you have in your neck and other parts of your body must be investigated ASAP and I would suggest that you consult a competent medical specialist to verify what these nodules are due to. After you have the diagnosis, you can then consult a competent homeopath in your city and get treatment from him.
You informed me that the Nat Phos helped to allay your headaches but it did not help with your acidity problem for which you listed the manydrugs that you had been taking with no success.
In any event I would advice you, in your own interest, to seek medical and homeopathic assistance immediately.

Joe, I had found from the MD in the past that these knots are Lipomas. Have one in my upper arm, as big as a nut since 28 yrs or more but painless. Its only recently a few of them have started aching. I only wish there was a caring homeopath here but dont know of any. My own homeopath who was very caring died some time back and after that I also have been away from the city from the last 4-5 yrs. My family physician said that they are really no problem and happen at times. I must be having quite a few all over my body. Do i take Lapis for this. If so what potency and what dosage.
All this may be due to tension of my work which i hope will resolve soon.
Had similar symptoms way back when i also used to vomit a lot - sometimes 8-10 times. Would take Belladonna 30 3 hrly and then Nux 30 at night. When I went under my doctor, he gave me various medicines through the years which ultimately stopped all the acidity.

One important question : Are you chronically feeling financially insecure or in other words are you mostly worried about your financial position. Please post back on this one, if possible with an example.

Yes I am quite worried about my financial situation. Have recently resigned from my job due to bad vibes with the boss and since then have been unable to get another, 2 months now.
No example here i think. But have been like this since 10 yrs or so with a period where i earned well from 2001 t0 jan. Changed my job in may and was always in confrontation. I do not like indiscipline and the boss is the most indisciplined person i've ever come across.

A short psycho-profile of you - kindly confirm once again with a YES or NO for each point. Would seem funny / odd like a road side face reader - but here I do not see your face. Your problem is not pathological (physical) but a psychological attitude correction is required for your troubles.
1. You are a highly strict attitude personality.
2. You get very angry when someone lies to you or cheats you or fools you.
3. You are highly systematic and through natured.
4. You may be havng your bath daily - BUT you do not have an natural inclination for it and at a simple given oppurtunity / excuse you would chose to ignore bathing.
5. You are not very very inclined to wash or gargle your mouth after meals.
6. You have an attitude to enforce your views and ideas and talks on others
7. You like extremes - like precision, challenges, strong anger, strong laugh
8. You are sort of stoop shouldered from near your neck region.
9. You have chronic stomach digestion problems, since ages.
10. You like strong tasting foods, drinks, spices, stimulants.
11. You have high inclination or imagination for sex, but unhappy / unsatisfied.
12. Your body (skin) hardly and very rarely is exposed to sunlight.
13. You strictly desire discipline from others - in home, with children, with surroundings, with office, with relatives and so on. BUT ... BUT the same is not true for own self.
14. You are sort of 10% eccentric.
15. You are aggressive n stubborn n obstinate natured.
16. You are living a sedentary life style.
17. You do not or hardly indulge in any physical excerise / activitiy.
18. You are living a suppressed life and have experienced almost all suppressions of life.
19. You do a lot of brooding. You are a thinker. Very sharp n quick reflexes.
20. Mirror = Most above points could also apply to your father's attitude, as well.
21. Do you have dry ear problems as well. Do you itch or do you have an habit of cleaning your ears at the slightest provoca'tion.
Tentatively, Ignore my earlier suggestion of Dulc-200c n Rhus Tox-200c. Also try to refrain / avoid all allopathy medicines. Also do not fiddle usage of Homoeopathic medicines.
FOR HIGH ACIDITY : I suggest : Take SODA biCARB (eating soda) (cheaply n easily available in medical / grocery shops) - One teaspoon heapful in 300 ml water + add half sour lemon juice mixed and drink sippingly - just before every heavy meals. Daily as a routine. This is absoultely safe for long term use. Incidently this also cuts down body fat - though only with long persistant usage. You start getting results almost immediately. Avoid antacids here (herbal or allopathic or ...) - they dry out the moisture from the intes'tinal's internal lining walls.

I have some news I would like to share with all with severe acidity. 5 days ago I was advised to take warm water with lime juice and rock salt on an empty stomach in the morning. This has helped me more than anything else.
My acidity has subsided without taking any medicine. And if needed i take Bryonia 30 in case I feel it coming on as per the advice of Joe. Thats all. No more medicines. Thanks Joe for your guidance. I hope with this i won't have any more attacks. My stomach which was bloated has also reduced.

I am glad that you were able to overcome your ailment with Lime Juice in warm water taken in the morning. I hope for your sake that this cure will be permanent.

I did not remember advicing you to take Bryonia 30 at all and upon looking through my many posts this was confirmed.
You state that you are taking Bryonia 30 which you state you only take "in case it (is) coming on"
Please indicate what you mean by this statement. What is coming on ?

Joe I read in apost by you, now I dont remember which one. You had advised Bryonia 30 to be taken in case a sick headache was coming on and I followed it. anytime I feel a headache coming with acidity Now I am taking Bryonia 30.
You didnt advise me personally but someone else which I followed and it helped me.

You can safely take Bryonia 30 for both Headaches and Migraine. I note that you have noticed a connection between acidity and headaches and I feel that the Nat Phos 6x should help to prevent the acidity but if in spite of taking it you still get a headache, you can use the Bry 30.
Dose is 4 pellets as soon as you get the first warning signs of an oncoming headache and this remedy should usually stop a headache in under 15 minutes. Repeat in about an hour if the headache is not relieved. Remember to place all Homeopathic remedies under the tongue for best absorption into the blood stream and for almost immediate effect.
