This is a chronic case of gout of a 53 year old man suffering from joint pains since 2 years. He had severe pain and swelling of all the joints of the body and there were hard nodules formed on the joints of toes and finger. His extremities were severely damaged and movement were very difficult.
His pains would diminish partially when he kept his feet on icy cold water. The pains would intensify at night.
Homeopathy was started and he was given Ledum Pal for one week. Within a week, the pain had reduced slightly, but the swellings and nodules were still present. After about a month, the size of the nodules had reduced and he had much improvement in the pains too. He continued homeopathic treatment for almost a year and his problems of gout were solved for good.
