11 YEAR OLD WALKS AGAIN








 FIRST VISIT - PICTURES ABOVE



THIS WAS A SPECIAL FEELING TO SEE THIS BOY WALKING AGAIN BY SELF WHO COULD NOT EVEN STAND BY HIS OWN EFFORT 10 DAYS BACK
APPETITE IMPROVED

THE CASE --

PHOTOGRAPH OF LEGS OF THE CHILD WHO VISITED YESTERDAY --
Today an 11 year old boy emaciated and reportedly treated for fever over 4 months at hospitals around the town visited me.
He could barely sit.
Could not stand or walk as reported by his father.
Investigated found positive for a very highly reactive CRP, but no RA which may have been masked by recent anti-malarial therapy which may have included quinine sulphate.
Haemoglobin down to 7.0
Started with abhyanga of (mahanarayan, mahamash, prasarani and erand tail). Since major joints presented swelling, stiffness and pain also advised baluka potali swedan.
Maharasnadi qwath and a liver support supplement with vit. D3 was also given.
Awaiting first results in 10 days.
Will share snaps of legs soon.
I am expecting a combination of abuse of anti-malarial medication and may be past unmanaged due to poor education history of ra. Have called for papers if past treatments.
As of now treating for providing strength and reducing pain so the child can stand and walk against polyarthralgia!
