A Journey from Silent Suffering to Pain-Free Living: A Case of Trigeminal Neuralgia
A woman in her late 60s visited our clinic. Her dress was modest, her behaviour introverted, but behind her calm face was a woman who had been exhausted by persistent pain and emotional fatigue. It was not merely physical pain that drove her to us it was a desperate quest for permanent relief from her suffering. She reported a sharp, scorching, burning pain on the left side of her face. The exact location of pain was her left tongue, lower lip, and inner cheek and was such that she could hardly eat and talk. She had developed trembling in her lower lip and left hand due to continuous intake of painkillers.
Her pain had become so intense since 2 months. She woke up from the sound of doorbell 2 months back which worsened her symptoms. Her experience with this pain started two years ago as a minor pain in her left lower jaw. She saw many doctors, and after a while, her ailment was diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia, neurological condition that is characterized by severe facial pain. She was given painkillers to supress her pain but she had only temporary relief. When we started our in-depth case-taking, we sought to look beyond the pain and get to know her. She was a retired Ministry of Defense employee who had always held herself with strength and dignity. Her life had not been without hardship—married to a controlling husband with outbursts of anger, she had borne both household and emotional loads for many years. Although emotionally drained, she had remained strong, infrequently voicing her own frustrations and griefs.
But eventually, her pent-up emotions did surface. She admitted that she had been extremely irritable and would fly into rages quite easily, snapping at minor things. These emotional habits had escalated together, as had her pain. This emotional tension had built an unseen aura of suffering that exacerbated her physical symptoms and depleted her mentally.
Her irritability was more than a personality quirk. It was a manifestation of long-term repression, emotional exhaustion, and chronic pain.
Medically, she was a patient of hypertension for more than 10 years, got infected with COVID-19 in April 2021 and 22 years back her uterus was removed due to heavy bleeding. She had chronic knee pain for which she had undergone Ayurvedic treatment earlier.
She had a history of cardiac diseases from her father’s side of the family.
She had a normal appetite even though eating was difficult due to her pain. Her thirst was poor with irregular bowel habits. Her stool was hard with insufficient feel. She was a chilly patient with normal perspiration.
After careful consideration of her case she was prescribed a constitutional homeopathic remedy. Homeopathy doesn’t only treat symptoms it treats the person as a whole, inspiring the body to heal itself.
Within weeks her pain started to decrease in intensity and frequency.
Gradually, she was able to eat without anxiety. The trembling she had in her lower lip and left hand started getting better.
But even more striking was the change in her mood her irritability disappeared, and she was able to speak more calmly. As the pain decreased, she regained her patience and peace of mind.
Now she is free from the excruciating pain that previously took over her every waking moment. She was also relieved from shivering in her lower lip and left hand that she developed due to continuous use of painkillers. More significantly, she feels emotionally lighter, more centered, and genuinely relieved.
This case exemplifies how homeopathy, with its holistic philosophy, can offer real healing even in complicated, chronic illnesses such as trigeminal neuralgia. It’s not merely about ending the pain, it’s about rebalancing the body and mind.
The patient visited many doctors and pain clinics in last couple of years.
The patient visited leading pain clinic( DR Dureja’s pain clinic) and was diagnosed as neuralgic pain . likely to be Trigeminal Neuralgia. She was prescribed Tab. Tegrital 100 mg/BD and Tab. Pentokind 20/ BD for a week. The patient was advised MRI Brain by a neurologist on 15th april2013. The MRI gave impressions of FEW SUBCORTICAL AND PERIVENTRICULAR WHITE MATTER HYPERINTENSITIES LIKELY TO BE ISHCHAEMIC.( REPORTS ATTACHED).
She was not relieved of her pain after this treatment. She consulted Jaipur Golden Hospital on 24th April 2013, and the leading neurologist advised the same medicines mentioned above along with Tab. Lupirtine-P and Tab Etoshine 120 mg which is a smooth muscle relaxant. The treatment didn’t produce any lasting relief and she consulted Hindu Rao Hospital . The treatment was almost same as above as conventional medicine has limitations in treatment of TN. The typical combination of drugs are pain-killers, antacids, muscle relaxant and nerve tonics. These are of little use to patients of TN.
The case shows that constitutional treatment is the only treatment which brings real cure and lasting improvement. This is one of the best cases to show the magical and magnificent power of the small globules of homoeopathic medicine.
