Lumbar spondylosis refers to degeneration affecting the lumbar spine (lower back). This condition is also known as spinal osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease. Any of the spinal structures including the vertebrae, intervertebral disc, ligaments, and joints may be affected. Vertebrae are the bones in the spine and between every two vertebrae, lies an intervertebral disc. The intervertebral discs are fibrocartilaginous cushions that act as shock absorbers whenever stress is felt in the spine.
Homeopathy is a 200-year-old natural healing science highly reliable and effective in treating cases of lumbar spondylosis. To start with, homeopathic medicines provide symptomatic relief to the patient with lumbar spondylosis. Symptoms like pain/stiffness in the lower back, radiation of pain down to the legs and numbness/tingling sensation in the legs get relieved magnificently with these medicines along with improvement in the range of movement of the spine. They simultaneously halt the degenerative process in the spine that is causing or in some cases, worsening the lumbar spondylosis. Conventional mode of treatment mainly recommends pain killers, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and corticosteroids in lumbar spondylosis cases. These medicines though give prompt relief in pain, but in the long run carry the risk of side effects and dependency. While homeopathic medicines cause no side effects and dependency, they can easily be stopped on getting the desired results.
Homeopathy is a symptom-based science. It means the ideal homeopathic medicine for every case of lumbar spondylosis is selected based on the symptom presentation. This properly selected medicine as per individualised symptomatic approach gives wonderful results in cases of lumbar spondylosis.
Homeopathic medicines provide long-term relief in lumbar spondylosis cases by working at a deep level. With the regular use of homeopathic medicines for the recommended period as suggested by a homeopath, excellent results occur in such cases. The use of homeopathic medicines can help in reducing dependency on conventional medicines to a great extent.
One of the biggest advantages of using homeopathic medicines is they are prepared from naturally occurring substances. These do not contain any harmful chemicals or toxins.

What causes lumbar spondylosis?
Lumbar spondylosis is largely a result of wear and tear of the spinal structures with age, mainly disc degeneration like drying/shrinking/ breaking of disc and formation of bony spur (extra bone formation near ends of bones). However, it may be caused by injury to the spine as from a fall, sports injury or car accident. The overuse of the spine in physical activities like gymnastics, weight lifting or even postural disorders from a sitting job or working long hours on a computer can make one prone to lumbar spondylosis. Besides, smoking and obesity may also be contributory factors in the development of lumbar spondylosis.
Symptoms of lumbar spondylosis
Lumbar spondylosis may not show any overt symptoms. However, where symptoms do arise, the major among them are discomfort or pain in the lower back. In addition to this, stiffness and lack of mobility in the lower back may also be felt. In some cases, pain from the lower back may radiate down the leg. Other accompanying symptoms are numbness, tingling sensation and weakness in the legs.

From the above it is Gnapalium Polycephalum is most suitable for me. I have spondylilosis in L5/S1 grade one with osteoarthritis. The pain always gets better with rest, even sitting down for a minute gives enough rest for a further five to fifteen minute walk. Bending forwards helps too.
I went to a homeopath and he gave me Sephia which didn’t help at all.
How should I take this and what form pleas

Finding out you have HIV can be a shock. It’s likely you will have a lot of questions and you may be dealing with difficult feelings.
Remember that having HIV doesn’t have to stop you living a full and healthy life. With the right treatment and care, you can expect to live just as long as someone who doesn’t have HIV.
“I went for a rapid test and never expected the answer to be that I was positive. I fell to the floor, cried like I was in a soap opera, and asked “who’s going to raise my children?” The tester was so amazing, so helpful in talking me down from this reaction, telling me he’d known people living with HIV for 25 years and more. I latched on to those words like a life vest those first few months.” –
“I don’t really remember much about the day or the month or two following. I do remember sitting in my doctor’s office as she told me I was HIV positive. I remember looking at the painting on the wall. I became instantly numb and everything became a blur.”
“I was speechless, frozen in time. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t stop crying…
