The legs feel weak and unable to carry the weight of the body. The limbs feel tired and painful; especially there is pain in the back (upper and lower parts, both). These are the salient features of Ruta. The severity of pain is easier on lying down flat, however generally the pain is worse with rest and better for movement. Rest aggravates while movement ameliorates the pain. There is pain over the mastoid processes (the prominences behind the ears) and heaviness in the ears. The facial bones hurt. The gums are sore and bleed easily. At about midnight , the patient wakes up due to coughing , tightness of the chest and heaviness. The trachea hurts as if physically injured.
