Hello,
Thank you for your query.
You’ve mentioned that you're taking Berberis vulgaris and Clearstone for
kidney stones - both are commonly used in homeopathy to support renal function and dissolve calculi. However, the joint pains, especially if they are severe in the ankle and knee, may not be directly due to these remedies.
Joint pain like this could be due to:
Uric acid accumulation (gout)
Reactive arthritis
Mineral imbalance or dehydration from stone-related medications or dietary changes.
Early osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in predisposed individuals.
Advice:
Please get uric acid levels tested to rule out gout.
Avoid high-purine foods (red meat, organ meat, certain fish).
Stay well-hydrated and limit alcohol or sugary drinks.
If pain persists or worsens, get imaging (X-ray/ultrasound) to assess for any joint degeneration or effusion.
Note:
Homeopathy works best when remedies are selected based on your complete symptom picture. I’d recommend consulting a qualified homeopath for a personalized remedy.
If you have any other concerns or want to explore treatment options,I'd be happy to see you for a consultation.
