    Dear Dr Sharma
    The purpose of this message is to thank you most sincerely for your Website.I took up Homeopathy when my father died in 1980. He had a few remedies and some very good books. He did not have a clue what he was doing, just buying a remedy when he thought it would help my mother because of something he had read.
    Using your Website saves me a lot of time trawling through Repetories & Materia Medica. After reading you suggestions the remaining selection is painless & quick.
    In February I was pushed over whilst walking my dogs. The big one (50Kg) jumped up and I went flying. My right shoulder hit the frozen ground first. Agony, I couldn’t move my right arm. My diagnosis was complete tear of Supraspinatus, takes at least twelve months apparently. Looked on your site & noted suggestions. Lower down in the Google search I found a sports site which claimed that Ferrum 200 taken daily for a month would completely heal, verifiable by X ray. Thought about it for a day or two. Very wary of indiscriminate use of 200s. Anyway I took the plunge and took one around midnight (first time I woke up) for 29 days. Full movement restored-How’s that? Good recovery for an 89 year old.
    Right, I’m rambling now so that’s all, and thanks again.
    Regards
    Peter

    Hi Dr Sharma, I would like a remedy recommendation for an issue with a finger which started after a spider bite and cutting a lot of wood with an axe straight after the bite which happened a month ago. The finger is swollen at the base, feels warm to touch and hot to the patient (my father), it will not easily straighten and moves from clenched to open in a clicking motion rather than normal smooth movement. The pain, which is dull ache (not sharp), is a bit better for cold application and motion makes it a bit less stiff but the clicking motion is always an issue. Im wondering about Ledum Pal, Rhus Tox or Ruta Grav but there may be a better one. Also would tincture or sugar pill be better or both? Many thanks
