Migratory arthritis is an arthritis which appears to shift from one joint to another. There are various causes of migratory arthritis such as Bacterial endocarditis, Human Immune Deficiency virus, Rheumatic fever, Hepatitis B or C, Gonococcal arthritis, Human immunodeficiency virus, Palindromic rheumatism, Whipple’s disease, Lyme disease etc.
Homeopathy considers all the symptoms for treatment of migratory arthritis. If one part is affected it is most likely another part may be affected too. This type of arthritis seems to move around the body. It is not fixed at a certain place and can affect the legs alternatively. In one day, it can affect the elbow and the next day it could be the foot. So we see that there is no fixed location.
In homeopathic, it is placed under ‘changeable symptoms’. It also means that the arthritis won’t just change but all other systems are prone to change. For example diarrhea may alternate with constipation. Your moods may change from calm to irritable.
In homeopathy, the immune system level is raised. It is done by searching the root of the problem or matching the symptoms with the appropriate homeopathic medicine. Pulsatilla is one of the common homeopathic medicines. It is one of the commonly prescribed medicines for migratory arthritis treatment.
