Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 -------------- Chinese Herb for my daughter urgently " Elaine Choong " <elaine.choong Fri, May 19, 2006 1:24 am -------- I am looking for chinese medicine for my daughter of which I need expert advise. The following is her medical history. My daughter (chinese)14 years old is suspected to have (awaiting rheumatoid factor test report) juvenile arthritis recently. Her left foot was stepped on by her school mate in middle of Jan06. As a result, it was swollen and painful. She was treated by GP and prescribed with pain killer. After about a week, the swelling subsided. She continued with her school sports, such as dancing, football, basketball, tennis and swimming for about two months. Again, her left foot swelled since early of March 06 without any apparent reason. I took her to see orthopaedic surgeon. She was on pain killer and two weeks of antibiotic and casted for a few days. After the cast was removed, the condition did not improve. She was referred to another orthopaedic surgeon. This time, the surgeon withdrawed the fluid from the joint by injecting a long needle to her foot. At the same time, the surgeon ordered a blood test. The result of the blood test is attached for your reference.She is on 3 weeks of pain killer and paracetamol. Her foot is still slightly swelling and with slight pain when she walks. She has stopped her sport activities since March 06. We just moved to Lagos, Nigeria on 3rd Jan 2006 from Malaysia.( place of birth of my daughter and lived there ever since).She does not have this swelling problem before moving to Lagos. Since birth, my daughter is allergic to environmental factors such as dust, cold, animal (fluffy fur). I begin to notice that the water supply in Lagos is the hard water type, unlike Malaysia.Could this be the cause of her problem? My daughter has been through a painful health test experience with the orthpaedic surgeon in Lagos. I do not wish she has to take any further test. I am totally upset and I would like it very much if my daughter can be treated by taking the Chinese herbs. She used to have the Chinese tonic since young. I am truly greatful if you could suggest or look into my daughter's condition. Yours truly, Mrs Elaine Choong Sneak preview the all-new .com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.
