Arthritis

 

Arthritis is characterized by inflammation of joints, accompanied by joint pains, swelling, deformation of joints, dysfunction of joint movements, etc.

Western Medicine does not have effective treatment for arthritis.  Many patients live with arthritis for many years, and some of them even end up with transplant surgery.

Following is a case in which a severe arthritis patient's knee transplant surgery has been prevented by ACMA treatment.

 

ACMA Treatment -- Prevent Knee Transplant

On January 23, 2006, American Chinese Medicine Association (ACMA) received a patient who was put on the knee transplant surgery list due to severe knee arthritis.  The patient got arthritis about 20 years ago.  Both knees were affected.  Since then, the patient had been seeking Western Medicine treatments continuously.  

However, all Western Medicine treatments failed, and her knee pains got worse and worse.  At the time when she visited ACMA, both knee pains were continuous 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and pain got deteriorated during rainy days and weather changes.  The patient could not walk as a normal person, and lost mobility for 5 months.

Before visiting ACMA, the patient's knee pains got so severe that the knee transplant surgery was indicated and her Western Medicine doctor planed to do knee transplant surgery for her.

Before doing the knee transplant surgery, the patient was referred to ACMA by several relatives and friends.  The patient put her last hope into the Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) treatments at ACMA.  If the CHM treatments at ACMA failed too, she would have no choice but to do the knee transplant surgery.  

On March 8, 2006, after one and half months CHM treatments at ACMA, the patient's knee warm feeling was gone, swollen was reduced by more than 60%, knee pain was reduced by more than 50%.  The patient's overall condition has been significantly improved, and the knee transplant surgery can be avoided.  

On May 30, 2006, the patient's knee pain was completely stopped when the weather is fine.  Pain only exists mildly during rainy days.  The patient can walk as a normal person, and mobility has been regained.  The patient can function as a normal worker at her work place, which requires her to stand 2 to 4 hours a day.

The patient is very satisfied that the ACMA treatment has saved her from receiving knee transplant surgery.
