Similar to sciatic neuralgia, cruralgia differs from the latter only in its pathway. Depending on the signs of the disease, there are suitable homeopathic remedies.
What is cruralgia?
Cruralgia or lumboruralgia is an inflammation of the crural nerve due in particular to axonal, truncular or spinal lesions. Crural neuralgia is manifested by severe pain in the lower limbs. Although it appears after a long period of sitting, cruralgia can be caused by the presence of a cyst, osteoarthritis, a herniated disc or by blood accumulation that bothers the lumbar roots. Lack of sports activities is also one of the factors that can lead to this disease. In addition, cruralgia is very common in the elderly.
Symptoms of cruralgia
Cruralgia is a pain in the lower back that extends from the front of the thigh to the knee and foot. In addition, a person who suffers from crural neuralgia feels pain with each sudden bend of the knee. In addition, insensitivity of the lower limb may be noted in the patient. Swelling of the testicles may be noticed in men with crural neuralgia. Allodynia and paresthesia are also symptoms of cruralgia.
Homeopathic treatments to treat cruralgia
If cruralgia occurs after exposure to dry cold, it is recommended to take a dose of Aconite 15 CH. In addition, if symptoms occur in an individual who has caught cold after physical exertion, Dulcamara is the appropriate remedy. For pain following less movement, the patient can take Bryonia 7 to 9 CH. In addition, Belladonna 5 to 9 CH is effective in relieving pain due to touch, draughts and shaking. For acute pain accompanied by numbness, Gnaphalium 7 to 9 CH and Plumbum 7 to 9 CH are the appropriate homeopathic treatments. To relieve nerve damage, it is necessary to inject the patient with Hyperricum, Perforacum or Ledum Palustre. For cases of anxiety, irritability and pain intolerance, Chamomilla 15 CH can be an effective remedy. For pain due to immobility and damp cold, the patient can take Rhus Toxicodendron 7 to 9 CH.
When to see a doctor?
It is imperative to consult a specialist doctor in the event of ineffectiveness of current treatments, recurrence or persistence of symptoms. When the disease progresses to paralytic cruralgia or hyperalgic cruralgia, the patient must also go to the practitioner.
