Arthritis :: Gout, Arthritis deformans – Colchicum
Colchicum. This is the great old school remedy for gout ; every case gets it in some form ; and, strange to say, in the homoeopathic school it is one of the first remedies thought of, but not every case of arthritic trouble receives Colchicum from the careful homoeopathic prescriber.
The typical case calling for Colchicum is where the swelling is red or pale, with extreme tenderness to touch, a tendency to shift about from joint to joint, and pains which are worse on the slightest motion. If the general symptoms of great prostration of the muscular system and abdominal bloating be present Colchicum is the remedy.
Gastric symptoms and cardiac complications also characterize. It is more indicated when the smaller joints, fingers, toes, wrists and ankles are affected ; the pains are very violent, patient cannot bear to have the parts touched or to have anyone come near him. Arnica has this fear that the part may be hit by anyone passing ; it has also arthritic pains in the foot, worse towards evening, and a red, big toe joint which feels as though it had been sprained, so Arnica may be indicated well in gout.
The Colchicum patient is apt to be exceedingly irritable and the gout is not apt to decrease this irritability. Unless Colchicum be given according to these indications it will do no permanent good. The habit of giving Colchicum to every case of gout in order to palliate the trouble may cause it to attack the heart or fly to other parts. Indeed in potency it is homoeopathic to gout, with metastasis to the heart.
