About 8-10 years ago, I fell on a slippery bridge. I landed on my right knee. It hurt a lot, but I soon forgot about it. Then 3 weeks later my right knee became so swollen - not painful, so I just lived with it. It was huge for quite a while - about 2 months. It was always weak from that point on. I also sustained an injury to my hip which affected my knee over time. Another problem I have that's connected to the knee problem is that I lack power in my legs. I have, for many years, been unable to climb stairs very well at all. As time progressed, my knee started to hurt worse and worse. I felt like an 89-year-old woman. Limping terribly, scared I might fall and not be able to get up, unable to wash the bottom of my right foot in the shower, and I found it so difficult to put on my socks. Going up stairs, I had to pull myself up the banister with my hands - step by step. I was a real mess!
It got to a point where I couldn't even stand for longer than 30 minutes without both my legs in intense pain. My husband was worried that I would be wheelchair bound. Even sitting I had intense pain.
While on a trip to Calgary I heard Blaine on the radio. I heard of the Laser Therapy so I made an appointment. What a wonderful place to come for help! With the first 6 treatments, I could see improvements each time. Probably after the 8th treatment, I felt SO good. I could walk up stairs with minimal help from the banister. Walking was so loose and easy. I then went shopping for Christmas gifts and walked and walked and walked up and down the mall for about 7 hours or so! That was too much (oops!) as I felt I was almost back to the beginning. It has taken about 3-4 more treatments and now I am walking so well again. And the pain is nearly all gone!
The Laser Therapy and the therapists have all worked their magic on me. I am back into feeling like there is hope to get the rest of me better. I am so much better and my thanks and gratitude are very large for all that was done for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will always be grateful for giving me my life back! Love ya all!
