It was not just a simple muscle cramp…

30 year old Rohit suffered from pain in lower legs with severe muscle cramps since 6 months. He visited his family doctor. He was prescribed muscle relaxants and some vitamin supplementations. It felt better for a few days but the pains kept recurring. He was tired of taking conventional medicines as they caused acidity and so he resorted to homoeopathic treatment. After taking his detailed case history it was found that he was very stressed since a year regarding his wife’s erratic behavior. He was asked to check for his haemoglobin count and thyroid hormones. He was detected with abnormal thyroid hormone levels and low haemoglobin. He was prescribed homoeopathic medicines with tips on distressing and eating habits. Slowly and steadily his conditions improved and he was asked to repeat the thyroid hormone test after 3 months of treatment which showed normal.
