  2. Hi – I’ve been experiencing symptoms of carpel tunnel for a couple of months now, it’s getting increasingly worse unfortunately. Numbness, tingling and pain. It occurred to me I should try Hypericum (I used to be very familiar with homeopathic remedies and use them reliably). I took Hypericum 200ch (4 pellets) for three nights in a row (in the night) and then things started to really improve, but then yesterday it began to worsen again.

    Can you tell me if I should continue dosage?

    Thanks, Anna

  3. Dear Dr. Sharma,
    I am female, 67, physically active; yard work, building projects, etc. and eat minimal amounts of sugar and inflammatory foods. Last summer while building a small shed with my 90 year old father I began to notice shooting pain that would show up in the last joint near the nail and radiate up the side of the finger to the next joint. First it was the thumb, then the index finger on my right hand. Now, months later it is showing up on my left hand middle finger and I am not doing much work. The pain is extreme and shooting. I use essential oil of Birch for the pain and it helps but does not alleviate it. I am rather a “type A” personality and need to be industrious and busy most of the time. Do you have a suggestion of what homeopathic remedy would help or what foods I can avoid to help with this. I have used homeopathy in the past with success but cannot figure out what to use for this strange condition. It does not seem to fit any of your definitions or remedies. Thank you for any help.
