Dear Dr. Sharma,
My cousin was badly injured when a concrete block fell on his leg. The damage was so extensive that doctors wanted to amputate, but he refused. They put metal pins in his leg and he has nerve damage for which they say there’s no cure. He can no longer work and is on disability. He says that some days there is no pain and others the pain is intense. What can he take and/or apply to get relief?
Thank you.

Dear Dr. Sharma.
My daughter has a shooting nerve pain. It started a few years ago after she had her right eye cornea transplant. Her shooting pain started after few months of using steroids. It shoots in her right eye, head, arms, buttocks, and legs. At some point were giving her medication – Amitriptyline. After several months of using it, the pain became much lower and subsided almost completely, but she got a side effect when using the medication: extremely bad seborrhea and we stopped using it. For some time she was pain free, but now the pain is back and knowing the side effect of the medication, we would like to try some homeopathic remedy. What could you suggest?
Thank you very much,
