Hi Doctor, My Father Is 64 Years Old. He Is
Question: Hi Doctor,
My father is 64 years old.
He is having pain in his right shoulder for approx. 5-6 months when he tries to raise his right hand.
He has consulted many doctors and they told that it is frozen shoulder and will take time to resolve. They are giving a lot of medicines and suggested physiotherapy. He has already taken medicines for approx. 2 months and physiotherapy for 15 days but, no improvement is seen as such.
Based on above history, I would like to ask if he should try homeopathy for treatment of this frozen shoulder? If yes, please suggest what medicines and precautions he should take and generally in how much time this can be resolved by homeopathy. Thanks.
Regards,
Ankur

Hi Doctor,
Thanks for your reply. Need some clarifications on the medicines prescribed:
1. Sanguneria Can 6 4 drops twice in a day - I am getting "Sbl Sanguinaria Canadensis Dilution 6 Ch". Is this fine?
2. Ferrum pic 30 6 pills twice in a day - I am not getting pills. I am getting either "Dr. Reckeweg Ferrum Pic Dilution 30 Ch" or "Sbl Ferrum Picricum Dilution 30 Ch". Please suggest which one shall my father take and dosage as well as it will be liquid instead of pills.
3. Phytollacca 30 6 pills twice in a day - Either I am getting "SBL Phytolacca 0/30 LM" globules but, I am not sure about potency as it says 0/30 LM or I am getting "Sbl Phytolacca Berry Dilution 30 Ch". Which one my father should take? Please let me know dosage for liquid if he has to go with it.
4. Brunia 200 6 pills once in a day - I am getting "Bjain Bryonia XXXXXXX Globules 200 Ch" or 200 CH liquid. Shall I go with "Bjain Bryonia XXXXXXX Globules 200 Ch" as I am not getting any other brand in globules and take 6 pills twice as suggested?
