Homeopathy -- Materia medica and therapeutics
When sitting, spasmodic pains in the lower portion of the abdomen
extending into the rectum and coccyx. After long sitting the pains are
relieved, but walking makes them worse so that the body must be held in
a slightly curved position.
Toward six in the afternoon, griping and cutting internal to the
umbilicus with nausea, afterward vomiting of acid water and at the end a
little food, with twisting pains in the vertex and temples; dryness of
the mouth with much thirst.
Wrenching pains in the calves extending into the toes and preventing
sleep the whole night; she does not know where to put her legs.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, without having supped, the abdomen
suddenly swelled as if she had eaten to excess; before and during the
attack flat and viscid taste in the mouth. She went to bed in this
condition and on waking in the morning the attack was entirely gone, the
bowels, however, refused to move.
Painless swelling of the abdomen lasting twenty-four hours.
Abdomen hard; tense and swollen with painless rumblings unaccompanied
with belching of wind; he goes to bed with these symptoms, but they are
gone in the morning.
However, there remains a constrictive pain below the ribs, passing
across the stomach with much thirst. Five hours later there occurred
alvine discharges; the first was very hard with much tenesmus, so that
the whole abdomen was retracted; the last discharges were fluid,
abundant and without tenesmus, in consequence of which the swelling of
the abdomen went down a little.
The pains disappear, however, with redness of the face, alternating with
cold sweat.
Standing and walking soon bring back the symptoms again.
Pressing the arm against the stomach and squeezing it relieved the pain
and then she was able to breathe deeply, which she could not do
otherwise.
Stomach swollen in the afternoon; went to bed at 10 o'clock and slept
one hour, awoke with urging to vomit and soon after threw up acid water
and the food taken the preceding day.
Griping in the abdomen, extending down into the rectum, with a feeling
as if this organ was ligated; she feels so weak that she has to support
herself to keep from falling, with cold sweat in the face, lasting half
an hour.
Severe itching in the abdomen which ceases and is always followed by
copious white expectoration, with flashes of heat in the face and great
weakness.
At first coldness in the feet, then stinging and pressing pains in the
right hypochondrium. From here the pains pass to the stomach with
swelling of the abdomen; then they extend up the spine to the shoulders.
Spasmodic, stabbing pains, one after the other, in the Mons Veneris,
when standing on her feet she has a desire to put one foot over the
other.
A spasmodic pain in the left inguinal region as of incarcerated wind,
which extends upward across the abdomen, causing a painful spot in the
region of the spleen.
STOOL.
Bowels confined for two days and very hard; the evacuation occurs in
small pieces.
