666.74.15 Pastinaca sativa, Case
Man, 50, neck pain.
He has a hernia in his neck with pain and tingling, extending to his whole right arm. He sleeps badly since no position gives relief, only bending his head forward ameliorates. Manual therapy gives only a bit of relief and if there will be an aggravation he has to be operated. He has muscle pains everywhere, worse when starting to move and better from drinking a lot.
He has prostatism. He has to urinate very frequently, with sudden irresistible urge. His urine spurts slowly. He fears a total blockage as his father had. He has albumin in his urine. He had that as orthostatic albuminuria as a child. He is very thirsty, drinks a lot. He has pain in his left testicle.
He is losing weight, 5 kilos the last period. He has lactose intolerance which gives diarrhoea. A lactose free diet brings no relief.
Most problems exist already many years but they became worse after his divorce. His wife had affairs with other men, even before the beginning of their marriage. It hurts him very much so that he resisted all seduction from others during their marriage, not to be the cause of a similar pain to someone else. Since the divorce he feels wonderful, having his own place in his house. His ex-wife started telling lies about him. His sister believed her and did not want to hear his side of the story so he feels let down. Then the relationship is over for him and he keeps distance. When people do not want to listen to him he feels the relationship has no value. He has no inclination at all to convince others. No one one came to ask him about the events; his wife’s parents never have spoken to him after the divorce. He feels undignified, beaten to numbness, betrayed, stabbed in the back.
In his youth he felt like a loner too. His mother once expressed her regret to him that she had been a distant mother without cuddling him. His father was absent as a person. He was not allowed to be troublesome.
His whole life he felt like an outsider, not fitting in. He cannot conform to groups since his ideas do not fit. He hates superficial relationships, they have to be deep.
He is very involved in spiritual development and mediation. He is an alternative therapist.
He has financial worries.
