Hi Everyone,
I am happy to share with all of you how God helped me and my family heal from my knee injury recently. Hope and pray this helps someone else....here is what happened....
1. I injured my knee last Wednesday only by dangling my feet over a hospital bed that was too high off the ground and somehow stepped off of it the wrong way. I didn't know how bad it was until I got home which was about 2 hours later. I had my husband massage it, but it only made it worse.
2. The next day, I realized I could no longer walk on it and tried using crutches. That day things only got worse the more I tried to get around on crutches. Till I realized I was in a desperate situation and too much pain to move.
3. We did one treatment of "Soft Wave Treatment", which is sounds waves trying to help heal the injured tissues. This was done at a chiropractor's office and it did not help. I was still in constant pain.
4. I went home and realized that I still needed help, so on Saturday at 1am my husband took me to the ER. All tests came back with only, "you must of strained a ligament in the back of your knee and you'll need to ice it and let it rest for a few days."
5. The ER supplied me with a knee brace which only made it worse!
6. I finally realized I was on my own to figure this out. Not one doctor gave me a solution and only pushed pain meds which only made me sick and dizzy.
7. We got home and I had decided that there was absolutely no way for me to get off the bed anymore. I needed to figure out a way to use the rest room in bed and not move for a few days. Now of course I have my husband and daughter at home. My husband has been home because of any injury he suffered from work so he was able to help me this whole time.
8. What I decided to use to help bring the swelling down....
A. Peeled, shredded raw potato. Use 2 paper towels and place plastic wrap and then wrap an Ace bandage. This helped quite a bit.
B. Hot water and Cold water compress alternating every five minutes while the potato was not being applied.
C. Coconut oil, Lavender, Tea Tree, and Hops essential oil while doing the compresses. The warm compress helps the oils pe*****te into the tissues better. I was very liberal with the Hops oils, this helped with the pain.
9. Did my diet matter during this process? Yes. Since I am completely bedridden I need to drink lots of fluids that are hydrating and foods that will help my bowels to continue to move. Now I lost a lot of my appetite because I wasn't able to move, so that helped. But I focused on healthy foods, which led me to doing staying with a vegetarian diet, lots of veggies, fruit juices.
10. I also was taken natural anti-inflammatory pills which contained, Turmeric, Frankincense, and a few other ingredients. These I purchased at the Sandpoint Super Drug Nutritional Center. These are considered natural pain pills for muscle aches or pain. If you would like me to share what these are, please message me.
I'm finally beginning to have relief from my constant pain and doing the compresses through out the entire day. Plus, lots of prayers from friends is a big factor in all of this. God is so good!
I am so so sad to see that 2 places with medical care professionals, everyone could only provide easy fixes that they thought would help and none of it did. I'm heart broken to know that we pay all this money to people that can't help and don't really want to. I really hope this information helps someone else. And I'm very thankful to the nutritionists at Sandpoint Super Drugs. They are their to help people and they don't even get paid. God can provide whenever we choose to trust Him and ask for His help! May God bless you all!
