A male patient of 35 yrs came with severe burning in right thigh lasting few months. He had been to a neurologist and also orthopaedician suspecting some neurological abnormality, had undergone MRI of lumbar spine without any significant finding and had taken Vit B12 supplementations without any relief.
He attributed this pain starting after slightly more exertion at home consequent to birth of his baby. The pain was severe after standing, was burning in character and interfered with his daily life.
A detailed case history was taken and various remedies for overexertion were given to him without iota of relief. It seemed that his last hope was failing him.
The failure lied with homeopath and not homeopathy.
After couple of unsuccessful prescriptions, the patient was again spoken with, in details. It was found that he worked long hours with his laptop on his lap, while his baby played next to him. The burning sensation was then attributed to probably the heat (infrared radiation) from the laptop along with, low dose electromagnetic and radio frequencies coming in close contact with skin for prolonged period.
He was given RADIUM BROM 200/ 1 dose.
The next follow up revealed his burning down by 90%, with only occasional feel of sensation. He was then also advised to not work with laptop on lap and given SL to continue. The 2nd month follow up was a complete resolution of his complaint.
Note: It is to be noted that the skin around the area was completely normal with no rash or eruption. Probably the patient was more susceptible to radiation from the laptop which triggered his problem.
This case also teaches us to look deep into circumstances of patients, accept our failure and sometimes the fact that patient may not reveal a fact for long because he/she may think it is irrelevant. It is then the duty of the physician to delve deep into circumstances to find the culprit.
