Healed of Pain Suffered for 20 Years

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 five 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. Walking was difficult, and I was not getting any relief, even when sitting or lying down. I would pray, and it would stop for a minute before coming right back.

On Sunday, I went to church even though I was limping and in an 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 were completely gone. Now, it has been a few weeks, and it has not come back.

Praise the Lord!
