A testimony of healing of a pain suffered for 20 years
Approximately 20 years ago, I fell down some icy stairs and fractured my left ankle and lower leg. I was rushed to the hospital and immediate emergency surgery was done. The surgeon put a large pin in the ankle and a steel plate with 5 screws into the leg bone.
Because of this, I lost flexibility in my foot causing my hip and thigh to compensate when I walk. Over the years I have had discomfort and stiffness, but more recently, I was having increasing pain. I would pray and rest and it would go away for a while until, a few weeks ago, the pain in the hip and extreme tightness in the muscle would not stop. It was difficult to walk and I was not getting any relief even when sitting or lying down. I would pray and it would stop for a minute and come right back.
On Sunday, I went to church even though I was limping and in enormous amount of pain and, as I was sitting and suffering, I said to myself, “Why am I putting up with this? The Lord can take care of it!” So, when the Pastor called for people to come up for prayer, I went up. As he prayed over me, the pain immediately decreased by 50% and the tightness in the muscles started to let go.
I went back to my seat and continued to rest in the Lord, and, within 5 minutes, all the pain and tightness was completely gone. Now, it has been a few weeks and it has not come back.
Praise the Lord!
