Does Belladonna works effectively for the hip pain having Osteoarthritis?
Patient: Hello, I have osteo arthritis and have severe hip pain. I have had a cortizone shot for my hip some time ago. Now the pain is unbearable, this is 24/7. I have been taking vicoprofen and flexeril they do not touch it. My sister in law had told me that she was given a prescription for Belladonna for her hip and it took the pain away. I would like to ask you your thoughts on this and does this work for pain? Doctor: HiI may suggest an MRI for diagnosis of hip disease.you may try accelofenac 100 mg twice a day and chloraxazone 500 mg twice daily.Do hot fomentation and apply voveran TPS gel of novartis around the joint.use walking stick in opposite hand to relieve weight bearing pressure on hip.consult hip surgeon for evaluation.Belladonna or alternative systems of medications are often good for symptomatic relief.zBut my concern would be to firstly know exact cause and removal or treatment of underlying disease process to try finish problem at the rootBest wishes
