  5. Dear Doctor Sharma,
    My mother age 63, she is suffering from the hand /Finger pain as her latest health issue, her mid finger was swollen in upper nuckle one side, and later had some infection like acne type in the same place and then applying fucicort for 2 weeks it disappeared and the wound had gone, I expected it as Herberden node and took her to Ortho and ortho forwarded her to Dermatologist and the finger was infected , however it was done then,but her finger keeps paining and gets swollen (feels softness when press), reading your article I feel it is due to OsteoArthritis, as she has this issue as well from last few years .
    – Due to Osteo problem and inflammation in her knees she is unable to bend her knees and keeps complaining severe knee pain at middle of night and unable to walk for long- For her knees , she got injections but injection had increased her pain and then finally Dr. said to replace the knee, dont know what to do?
    – Her back pain is also a major issue and Orthopedic Surgeon gave her aclasta infusion 5mg dose
    – She is a diabetic patient Type II, insulin resistant, sugar level fluctuate some time other wise remain under 200
    – She is High BP patient but taking medicine and her BP remains in control

    She is under medication for BP (Exforge VOlsartin/Amoldipine), for Blood Sugar (taking insulin Humalog two times, 14 and 10 units) for osteo – Osteocare calcium, for diabetic neuropathy pain and numbness in feet -Neogab-gabapentin, and tergral and Aspirin /Aspimed 75 mg , Omega 3 suppliments once a day

    With all above mentioned medicine, do you recommend your medicine to solve her health problems other than BP and Diabetes, because it is so painful to see her in pain at nights and day time as well as she cannot bend her knees sitting down and standing up is so difficult for her , and she refuse to go out with us as she cannot walk for long, she does not even go to market for grocery etc…

    We have homeopathic doctors here in UAE but they are not allowed to prepare medicines due to restriction of law, and some medicines are not available in UAE we get it from India or Pakistan.

    Could you please help us out on the above mentioned problem with guaranteed treatment.
    As we have tried many homeo medicine for her issues mentioned above but all in vain
