644.62.09 Frangula californica, Case
Case by Martin Jakob.
Man, 35, sciatica.
He has right-sided sciatica.
He is working for years, 12 to 14 hours, sometimes on weekends in an office as a draftsman for building plans. The boss needs him because there is so much work to do. He likes his boss, it is a kind of friendship and he feels obliged to do all this work but on the other hand the motivation is gone because this goes on for years. He has difficulties in concentration to fulfil his job, he has to do five things simultaneously. He is exhausted from all this work and does not sleep well anymore, < 3 am.

Follow up
His sciatica is gone, his sleep is better, his concentration is much better. He says his confidence in his work is better and he does his work now one topic after the other; he is not hurried anymore. The best for him is that he gets a car now from the firm, it is like an unasked pay rise. His value has risen.
Zincum and Ferrum had little effect.
