Case by Tomás Vyboch
Woman, 64y, knee pain
She has a terrible pain of her knee for several months. She cannot even sleep because of the pain. It is cutting and piercing pain. The knee is completely swollen and hot, < night.
She says that several things happened that turned her life upside down. Her son-in-law moved into her house and lives there with his wife. They have a farm that requires a lot of work. She likes to work in the garden. Her son also lives with them. At the beginning everything was fine, but later the son-in-law started having outbursts of anger. He was angry about client´s son because he did not work as fast as he expected from him. Later he criticised also her. She says that she was unable to set boundaries for herself. She kept adjusting to make everyone feel good. She never cared for herself. That is how she did in her youth, when she had children. She decided to withdraw and lives in the back of the house by herself. She says that she let her son-in-law command the household. She is interested in esoteric, spirituality, she studies homeopathy. She says that everything in her life she considers as a challenge, also this situation is challenging for her.

Follow up
After Frankenia laevis she feels improvement about 40 to 50 percent in one month. Subsequently the progress was quite slow. After three months the improvement was at level of 70-80 percent. She felt great increase of her energy. Before she always had to take a nap after lunch. Now she does not need it. Her relationship with son-in-law improved very much.
Later I recommended her Cerastium boissierianum which completed the cure. Arbutus, Gypsophilla, Dianthus, Bellis perenis, Arnica, Limonium platyphyllum, Plumbago and Vaccaria hispanica did not have any effect.
