About the pain ...

Do you believe in miracles?

I guess I do. 

Though I would not call them miracles in the classical way. 

An example:

On February 16, 2020 I woke up in the morning and felt some pain in my left Achilles tendon. You might ask yourself why I do know the exact date. Well, I knew exactly what I did the day before and I wrote that in my agenda ...

I had those pains before but then I also had some swellings on both tendons. I´ve learned then that the tendons where inflamed and just needed a bit of a rest.

So this time the pain was only in my left tendon, there was no swelling and the pain was a bit more intense then before. 

But I also had some problems with a dislocated toe bone before and therefore was walking a bit funny for a couple of weeks. I thought that might be the reason. Cause I couldn´t think of anything else. There was no misstep or any twitching of my leg, no other occasion that might have caused the pain. 

I started to walk with a limp cause every step caused me pain. 

Then lockdown came and I thought that would do my tendon good. If it would have been an inflammation like before the not walking in lockdown would have cured it right away.

But that didn´t happen. The pain was there. No matter if I walked a lot or not. It got more when I walked longer distances, I thought it was a bit better when I had one of my relaxing days - reading on the couch and sleeping. 

Now and then I was asked why I didn´t see a doctor. 

Well, there was a new and an old reason for that:

New:

The thought of going to the clinic in times of corona ... not good. 

Old:

I am not a person who runs to doctors very fast. I checked my foot regularly. There was the pain, yes. But I couldn´t think of something´s broken or torn apart. In my opinion there was no mechanical issue. So nothing to "repair". 

Anyway, over the months I got a little fed up with the pain. Always limping, pain with every step I made, exhausting!

Walking barefoot was the easiest way for me to walk. I tried different kind of shoes, flip flops, sandals, shoes with a bit of a heel, but nothing really worked well. 

It was tiring!

Last weekend, we are in mid July already, I had a busy Saturday with a lot of walking. In the end of the day the pains were really strong and I was so fed up! So Sunday I stayed at home, sleeping most of the time.

On Monday, July 13, 2020, almost exactly 5 months later, I woke up ... pain free!

I have no idea what happened! I have no idea what that was all about!

A miracle??

Well, in the classical way - maybe.

But I believe there was something going on in my body which had to be healed. Maybe it also was related to the period of new beginning I am in right now. 

For sure I know it was no medical condition.

Nothing was insured, broken or torn apart. 

See, that is why I do not run to doctors that fast.

Definitely he would have taken the pain away from me much faster. With some creams or pills or even injections. But those are only the symptoms!

There is a reason for every pain and for every time we are sick. Our body is trying to talk to us! He informs us that something is wrong!

Maybe we are exhausted or stressed. Our body has to react on that for our own good. If not a fever or the flu - why would we spend a few days in bed? 

I believe that every pain and every sickness has a reason.

Our body is sending us signals. If we listen to them while we "only" have a cold or headaches then it is fine.

If we do not listen to those gentle reminder our body has to shout a bit louder ... 

That´s how the serious sickness built up inside us. 

Every pain, every sickness is an information from our body to change something, to release the cause of the pain or the sickness.

I have no idea what that pains were all about. They came out of the blue and  they went again out of the blue.

But in those four months I obviously released the cause for it!

THANK YOU!
