I ask to anybody else here I had fluoroscopy done October 2 was Cortizone shots however they did not work. Not even a week after getting the shots my right kneecap popped out. My left knee that was broken four times kneecap is so swollen that my leg is purple and cool to touch of course it doesn’t help that I have lymphedema so all the swelling in my left leg is so severe so just figured I walk through the house very carefully but I still can’t walk normal and I’ve been told eventually I could end up in a wheelchair. I guess what I’m looking for is somebody out there give me up more knowledge about him a broken knees and popping knee caps out and maybe some exercises my leg lifts what I used to be able to do that strengthen my muscles in my leg joints and everything. I can’t even do those because it hurt so bad. So I’m reaching out to all of you today hoping maybe somebody has some advice that you give me as I am I just can’t quit I got to keep trying to go keep moving so if you have any advice for me please reply I appreciate it so much and again blessings to everybody much joy and please put smiles on those beautiful faces because no you’re not alone you’re loved your support did you cared for and most of all you’re blessed to be surrounded by people who are praying for you and they care for you because that’s what it is in this community is booked for caring and sharing of others and supporting of others and being there for each other and just listening sometimes and just offering some kind advice that may seem to you like it’s not helping the other person who’s receiving The advice could be well impacted that day in such a positive way that they could change their lives just a little bit to make them happier amen 🙏 and God be with you all hugs 🤗

Hi sweetie 😊🌿🌸🦋

Have you talked with your doctors about leg exercises??

It’s important to do so given your many conditions and instabilities. They can work with you and customize the exercises to specifically work on target areas without further risk or damaging other conditions you already have.

How are your lymphedema treatments going??

Bless you sweet friend you’re dealing with sooo much these days.

Oh I forgot to tell you that your verse pic is very touching and so like you my friend. Thanks for sharing it.

God bless and much love 💗.

EJ 😊🌿🌸🦋🙏🤗♥️🥰👼🕊

Ty my dear friend. I went to see my surgeon and found out that the hernia I was told I had a hernia that opened my abdomen, but found I was misdiagnosed as it’s so rare and so dangerous and no surgeries to fix as my abdomen opened up from the pelvic area to just at the ribs. It’s called

Rectus diastasis! My abdomen between the abs from rib cage down to my pelvic area. There’s a band of connective tissue so my stomach opened up right between the abs. No cure for me. The surgeon told me it was rare, and I cried and said “ Is there anything they can fix he said no. He was very nice and explained it too me. So now I had my cry , but the lord is guiding me through this as he is you my dear. God bless you amen 🙏 🧸🧸🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

OMGOODNESS franklin 😱😭🤗♥️🥰

I’m sooo sorry to hear this sad news about your misdiagnosed hernia to your corrected diagnosis of rectus diastatsis.

I cannot imagine being split open inside that distance and NOOOOO fix.

Is there anyway you could come to the USA for a second opinion??!

My heart goes out to you my sweet friend. I just said a fervent prayer for you dear.

Sending you gentle gentle hugs kisses love and prayers dear friend. God bless you and keep you always.

Luv ya EJ xxx😊🌿🌸🦋

Yes I wear an abdominal binder the rest of my life to hold my insides in and I look pregnant from the disease as the bloating and I have to eat small meals 5X a day. I had this for 6 years now.
