The patient came with the complaints of severe pain in the right shoulder .The complaints had started 3-4 months after being diagnosed with frozen shoulder the patient was put on painkillers and was also taking physiotherapy. Even after taking the medicines and the physiotherapy there was no change in the pain and it was worsening day by day.
The case came to me after they read about the other cases I had treated but there was lot of doubt in the patients mind .The husband had asked many questions about Homeopathy and how it works and will I be able to provide any relief? As we know a correct case history is very important if we have to solve the case I told the same thing to the patient if they co-operate we can provide a solution.
The patient said the pain is unbearable it is pulling and throbbing in character. The pain radiates from the shoulder to the forearm.

The patient is very anxious by nature small things can also cause lot of anxiety for e.g. if the husband, or children do not come back home on time she will be very worried. She wont sleeps till everyone has returned back even if it is late at night she will wait. There are lots of negative thoughts that come to her mind like they must have met with an accident or something must have gone wrong. There is lot of anticipatory anxiety.
The patient also worries about his son who is 25 years plus and she feels he is too straight forward and how he will deal with the world.
As a child she was very obstinate she wanted things her way otherwise she would be very angry. She is very attached to her family her brothers and sisters. She was very scared of her father but was very much attached to him emotionally. It came as a big shock to her when he passed away she cannot forget this event and this depresses her sometimes. When asked what thoughts come she said she is afraid of the diseases.
The relationship with her husband is very good. There are no problems on this front. The patient also has the habit of preserving things even old things, which are of no use she will preserve for years together. Also she cannot spend her money easily.
During the case taking the patient was so anxious that she asked me many times will she get alright? The intensity of the anxiety was very strong. On observation there was swelling under the eyes, pigmentation on the face was present.
At the end of this she said I forgot to tell one thing that she is very scared of snakes and also gets dreams of snakes. So from the above history her remedy was very clear.
