Two Tried and True Solutions for Pain Relief 

Janie's Story

1. SEVERE KNEE AND ANKLE PAIN GONE     

 Well, this is what happened: I was checking out at the counter of a vitamin and supplement store which I frequently shop. I placed my items on the counter and the clerk; I'll call her Janie, talked about the forecast for snow. I like Janie; she is always friendly and helpful.

     When she rang up one item, she asked how I liked the Hyaluronic Acid. I told her I thought it I could tell it was making a difference. 

     Then Janie said, "I wouldn't be able to be working today if it weren't for Hyaluronic Acid."

      "Really?" I asked. "What was wrong?"

      Janie explained that she didn't know what had caused it, but she suffered excruciating pain in her knee. She went to an orthopedic specialist, who found she had a torn Meniscus in her knee.  

      Medication did not help. She had no choice financially - she had to keep working. Janie said 
"I was able to stand, but every step I took when I walked was torture. I took Ibuprophen to get through the day, but at night it was worse."

    "It was worse?" I asked.

    "Oh, it hurt so much worse when I would lie down - I couldn't go to bed. I tried to sleep sitting in the lounge chair, but I just couldn't sleep for pain," she explained.

    "Wow!" I shook my head in sympathy.

     "The pain just got worse. Finally, it got so bad I couldn't push on the gas pedal, because of the pain in my leg. So, I thought I might be able to drive the car using my ankle. That sure didn't work!"

    "What in the world did you do?" I asked.

    "I got a ride to work with a friend. I had heard people talk about Hyaluronic Acid helping with arthritis, so I decided to try it.  I took three -100mg capsules, three times a day to start off. That's a lot, but I was desperate. Within 2 days, my pain was gone!"

    "Wow! What a miracle," I said. "I'll bet you gave God all the credit."

    "I sure did. I could hardly believe it. Suddenly, the pain was gone!  Not just a little change, but completely pain free," Janie said with a big smile.

    "Are you still taking it? Or did you quit when the pain stopped?" I asked.

     "I'm still taking Hyaluronic Acid every day, but I cut down to 3 capsules a day," she replied. "I do thank the Lord for prompting me to try it - and I give Him all the praise for totally healing me. I wouldn't be here working today if He hadn't. "

    I left the store rejoicing over Janie's miracle, and how she had shared it with me. It made my day!  I feel sure there are many people who will be thankful for this possible relief for their problem.

2.  COULDN'T WALK - UNBEARABLE PAIN

    Bill and I try to spend an hour in water aerobic class, at "Fit for Life" our local health center, at least 3 times a week. We started going about 2 years ago when I had an injury to my Rotator Cuff.

     After about 3 months of physical therapy at a hospital, with not much decrease in the pain, the insurance wouldn't pay for anymore treatments. The doctor gave me exercises to keep doing at home, but they were too painful to do. I knew I should, but when it would hurt. I just quit.

     Then, someone suggested water exercise at Fit For Life" health club, so we signed up for a month to "try it." We really enjoyed it. Actually, we didn't swim, but we exercised every part of our body. Some of the exercises were the same ones the doctor and therapist had me do - only this didn't hurt. Sometime within the three months, I realized that my shoulder no longer hurt me! I could use it without pain. The result, we signed up for a year.  

     Recently, we arrived early and were "warming up" before class, jogging in the water. I went over to speak to a woman I didn't know, who was holding onto her "noodle" (a brightly-colored 

device for floating) and kicking her legs.

     I told her how much we enjoyed the class and how it had helped me with an injury. Then she, I'll call her Annie, told me of her miracle.

     "I suffered excruciating pain in my legs," she said. "It got worse all the time, and finally, I couldn't walk. I just stayed in the house - I never went out."

      "How awful," I commented.

      "It was. I just decided that was how it would have to be the rest of my life - confined to the house. Sitting in a chair, with someone to care for the house and me," Annie said. "But, my son lives out in California, and he came to see me and told me I had to 'get in the water and start moving.'"

     "He helped me get into the 'Fit For Life' program and it was a real miracle," she told me.

     "I started off real slow. I couldn't do much, but they didn't rush me," she said. "The teacher said to 'just do what you can.' "

      I was amazed at what I could do in the water, for it didn't hurt. And, you know," Annie declared, "I can walk now with no pain - it is a real miracle."

     "Oh, Annie, that is so wonderful! I'd like your permission to use your testimony in my health newsletter." I said. "I know your miracle will encourage and help a lot of people who have problems with pain in their legs and walking."

     "You are welcomed to tell it," Annie said. "I won't ever stop getting exercise in the water."

      Isn't that great? Do you need a miracle? Just remember God is still in the miracle business. He is the Great I AM, not the Great I WAS.

      Just pray and ask for His healing touch. Then you can do what you can and trust Him to guide you and help you. 

      The Bible says "Nothing is too hard for God!"  I believe in miracles and He keeps them coming my way.
