Oh no! Where did that pain come from? Most of us have experienced back pain at some time. Hopefully, it has been a rare occurrence for you. Maybe you picked up something heavy or just overdid it with spring yard work. Or - maybe the pain just came on suddenly and you didn?t even know why!

Whatever the cause, you just want the pain and achiness to go away.

????????????That?s what happened to me recently. All of a sudden, there it was as I got up from my chair and started to walk across the room.

I thought to myself, ?surely it will go away as quickly as it came on.? No such luck! Fortunately, I have an arsenal of homeopathic remedies to work with.

I decided to start with Hypericum perforatum (St. John?s Wort) 200 because the pain had a sharp-shooting characteristic. No relief followed so after a couple of hours and 4 doses later I decided to add Bryonia alba (Wild Hops) 30 along with the Hypericum 200.

Bryonia is a good remedy when pain is worse from movement and better when pressure is applied. That seemed to fit my symptoms.

?However, I still wasn?t getting relief after several doses of Hypericum followed by Bryonia.

Evening was approaching and I have to admit I was starting to contemplate using an over-the-counter conventional medicine to see if I could simmer the pain down.

However, having witnessed homeopathy help many other maladies, I was sure there was a remedy that would help me. I just wanted to get it right sooner than later!

I decided to try Arnica montana 200. After giving that some time with minimal improvement, I decided to go to a 1M. My first dose of Arnica 1M gave me full relief for about an hour. When the pain returned, I took another 1M. That did it! I was able to sleep that night without waking into pain.

The next day after a few hours I started to feel the pain coming back. I thought about using a lower dose of Arnica because the pain was not as severe. But, since the 1M had worked so well the previous day I went ahead with the 1M. That?s all it took. No more pain that day or thereafter.

Another win for homeopathy! I love knowing that when I use homeopathy I don?t have to worry about over taxing my liver or getting some crazy side effects. Homeopathy is gentle to the body and gives it the little nudge it needs to heal itself.
