Not sure about the mag. phos., but it sure helped Dalton.
Carol, is your leg problem maybe where the hamstring is? Have you done
physical therapy?

LECTURES ON HOMŒOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA
by JAMES TYLER KENT, A.M., M.D.
Late Professor of Materia Medica in Hering College, Chicago.
Presented by Dr Robert Séror
Magnesia Phosphorica
Magnesia phos. is best known for its spasmodic conditions and neuralgias.
The pains: are very violent and may affect any nerve. A pain localizes
itself in a nerve and becomes worse and worse, sometimes coming in paroxysms,
but becoming so violent that the patient becomes frantic.
The pains are ameliorated by heat and pressure. The patient feels better
in a warm place; and his neuralgias are also better, he is miserable, and his
pains are brought on when he becomes cold or is in a cold place. Pains are
brought on from riding in the cold, and in cold, damp weather. Exposure for a
long time to cold winds causes neuralgia of the face,
The pains are felt everywhere. Pain in the bowels, enteralgias, cramps in
the stomach and bowels, with the same modalities. Pains in the spinal cord
under the same rule - amelioration from heat. There are times when a nerve, in
which there is considerable pain, becomes sensitive to pressure, becomes sore.
The spinal cord becomes sore.
Convulsions, with stiffness of the limbs. Convulsions in adults or
children, followed by extreme sensitiveness to touch, to wind, to noise, to
excitement, to everything. Such convulsions, as children have during dentition.
Colic; three months'colic, cramps, bilious colic.
But the special feature is its power to debilitate, to cause irritation
of the nerves and muscles. Cramps from prolonged exertion. Stiffness numbness,
awkwardness and deadness of a nerve from prolonged exertion.
Fingers: Thus it applies to long use of the hands and fingers in writing,
and gives a fair sample of writer's cramp. It is especially useful in the
cramps that come in the fingers, from writing, playing instruments and piano
practice.
Pianists suddenly break down, with stiffness of the fingers, after
several hours' labor every day for years. The fingers give out. In playing the
harp a cramp comes on and the fingers cannot perform their use. Other parts are
affected in the same way from prolonged exertion. A laborer's hand will
sometimes cramp and become almost useless. As soon as he undertakes to do that
particular thing his hand cramps and he clutches the implement or loses hold.
The carpenter after prolonged use of a tool has a cramp. This is a strong
feature of the remedy in all sorts of over-exertion.
Violent cramps in dysentery and cholera morbus, that make him scream out.
Twitching of the muscles all over the body, as in cholera. It was Schüessler's
main remedy for chorea, but we can only use it by its proving. Schüessler
prescribed it in all nervous conditions, but its proving justifies its use in
neuralgia ameliorated by heat and pressure, cramps and twitchings.
Shooting pains along the nerves, but these are not so common as violent
pains in paroxysms - a tearing pain as if the nerve were inflamed and put on a
stretch. Shaking as in paralysis agitans and complaints resembling it.
Amelioration from heat and pressure, and aggravation from cold, cold bathing,
cold winds, cold weather, lack of clothing. Pains all over, but more likely
pain located in one part.
Mind: The mental symptoms have not been brought out to any extent. It has
been used clinically when diarrheas have ceased suddenly and brain troubles
have come on. Congestion of the brain, but this is clinical.
Head: Neuralgia and rheumatic headaches ameliorated by heat. Excruciating
pains. Violent attacks of headache ameliorated by hard pressure, heat and in
the dark.
I have seen this mitigation of the symptoms in chronic congestive
headache, when the face was red and there was throbbing, almost like Bell .;
those headaches give way to Magnesia phos., when there is relief by heat and
pressure. He wants the head. bandaged with a tight-fitting cloth, a warm room,
and he is aggravated by cold.
Eyes: Spasms and jerking about the eyes, or prolonged tonic spasms
producing a strabismus. Violent supra and infra-orbital pains with amelioration
from heat and pressure. It has cured more face-aches than other pains.
Face: Neuralgia of the face, worse on the right side, and ameliorated by
heat and pressure, and aggravated by cold. Tic douloureux. Chronic jerkings of
the face. It favors rheumatic and, gouty subjects who suffer with neuralgia. It
is a wonderful remedy for spasmodic hiccoughing. I have sometimes given
Magnesia phos. for hiccoughing when I could not get any other symptoms to
describe on.
Stomach and abdomen: Pain at the pit of the stomach. Spasms of the
stomach with clean tongue. Colic ameliorated by doubling up, like Coloc., and
ameliorated by heat.
The colic is not so markedly relieved by heat in Coloc., but is relieved
by pressure. Distension of the abdomen and flatulence, with much pain.
Radiating pains in the abdomen. Compelled to walk and groan from pain.
Meteorism. It is said to cure cows of this condition. Colchicum will cure cows
when they are distended with gas after being turned into clover patches.
Cutting, darting pains in hemorrhoids. If well proved we would probably
have many liver symptoms, because both Magnes. and Phos. have liver symptoms.
Violent pains in acute rheumatism, ameliorated by heat. Neuralgic pains
in the limbs. Rest relieves many complaints, and the least motion brings them
on. Pains changing place.

magnesia phosphorica: So is this homeopathic wonder a cure all for all
that ails you? I don't mean that to be sarcastic, but curious who has used it
and for what ailments.
I am going to Mayo Clinic Sept 13. For something that is not suppose
to progress (TM), something sure has progressed to my originally unaffected
leg. Neurologist at Northwestern Memorial in Chicago is baffled, and still
says it is not MS. It's been 5 years since the onset of my TM lesion from
T7-T10.
