(Minghui.org) My husband was suffering from persistent back and knee pain. He went to the hospital in the fall of 2007 and was diagnosed with a protruding lumbar disc. His condition was treated with medication and physiotherapy until March 2009, but his condition worsened, and he lost the ability to walk.

We went to another hospital for a second opinion, where my husband was diagnosed with end-stage femoral head osteonecrosis. This means that there was little or no blood supply to the upper femur and the hip socket, causing the bone to die. Eventually, the bone would disintegrate.

Stunned, we consulted yet another hospital and received confirmation that that diagnosis was correct.

We were informed that he would need surgery to replace the damaged joints. Replacing both hip joints would have cost us forty-thousand yuan, and that did not include the cost of surgery and medications. We did not have the money.

We were shaken and could not think of a way to pay for the operation. Our two sons were saving up for their upcoming marriages, and none of our friends or relatives could offer us enough financial assistance. Moreover, this operation would not completely cure his condition!

I told my husband: “I have been practicing Falun Dafa for many years now and have not had any illnesses. You have supported my practice, even after the persecution began. Master Li will surely help you. There is no point in us crying about this: you just need to practice Falun Dafa too.”

Practitioners encouraged him, and my husband began to cultivate in Falun Dafa. Our compassionate Master immediately began purifying his body; his legs sweated throughout the first night.

My husband could not perform the fourth exercise in the beginning because he could not squat. However, within a month he was able to do all the exercises. He was walking with a cane three months later, he could walk without any help in eight months. In just over a year he was recovered completely and was able to return to work.

Our entire family is indebted to Master Li for curing my husband. No words can fully express our gratitude!
