Celebrating Medical Victories! Anyone? Anyone?

I was driving home from work the other day when I noticed a billboard advertising "New Non-Surgical Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis!". Great, I thought, I better look into that. About a minute later, I realized, I don't have any foot pain any longer! I don't need any special medical treatment for plantar fasciitis! And maybe I'm going to take these crazy, expensive insoles out of my shoes because I don't need them any longer.

In addition to the plantar fasciitis going away, I have almost no knee or back pain any longer. I can do step routine at the gym and I can feel where the pain used to be, but it doesn't actually hurt. Also, my back is SO much better! I used to avoid carrying a purse, or even carrying my Bible to church, because everything I carried hurt my back. My home life was also really tough because my son is paraplegic, so even carrying him up to bed was awful. Now it's all a reminder of how strong I've become.

I still have mild tailbone pain (coccidinea), for which I've gotten cortisone injections in the past, but it's much better than previous. I feel like I did when I was 35!

I am truly blessed!

wonderful testimonies!! I am pre op and looking forward to surgery in about 7 weeks from now. I have PCOS, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, fatty liver, GERD, terribly insulin resistant, and possible sleep apnea (had my test last week, was VERY close to call but waiting for sleep doctor to call it).

I am thrilled to know that so many of my medical things will resolve.

so happy for everyone!

My medical victories are:

Cardio Myopathy gone

Insulin pump gone

Insulin gone

High blood pressure gone

chronic back pain gone

knee pain gone

I feel really great and now glad to be alive
