I experienced a great improvement in my right knee pain, which has been painful for a few years since tearing my medial meniscus and some sub-patellar (knee cap) cartilage for a 5th time. I have had 3 surgeries on this knee and know I have bone on bone areas. Well…while on a healing prayer call with the Encounter Ministry team about a month ago after attending the Encounter Ministry retreat in Kansas City in late January. While the team prayed over a Zoom meeting for my knee, I felt a sudden, painful and sharp stabbing in my knee. I had quietly been listening, but yelled “OUCH!” Unexpectedly! It HURT as if I was struck by lightning or pierced with a fire-hot poker! My knee then felt odd/different, and the next morning felt good without swelling. The lead person on the call said, “your cartilage is going to grow back.”
Since that time, I have been walking at work when able to get outside on breaks and have begun doing weight-bearing exercises at the gym which I have not been able to do for two years! It’s fun, and feels good to be so much more active again.
