It would become stiff very quickly, requiring me to rise out of a chair slowly and take initial awkward steps until the knee started functioning normally.  I was applying my herbalist friend\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s arnica oil at least twice daily to reduce both pain and inflammation.  My knee was quite visibly swollen, and I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sleep in my usual positions because my knee objected, sometimes loudly.  I was taking a hot bath just to soak my knees in the warmth at least twice a week.<\/p>\n<p>Now, just three weeks later, my knee is not completely recovered, but it is DRAMATICALLY improved.  I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use the oil every day.  I can sleep in my preferred positions about half of the time.  My knee is nowhere near as stiff when I get up from sitting. <\/p>\n<p>Sure, I still have to pay attention to it.  It still doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like me to kneel or squat for more than a minute or two, which is a bit of a problem with all my gardening.  And my sleep isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t completely as I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like it to be.  But hey, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only been a short time.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m certainly going to keep carrying my healing talisman for my knee, in my left pocket whenever possible (it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my left knee that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bad), for some time to come.  And keep being kind to this joint that carries me through my life.<\/p>\n<p>Learn about how <a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/2008\/03\/can-gemstones-enhance-healing\/ \">gemstones can enhance healing<\/a>, and if you think a talisman could help you, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.secondwindjewelry.com\/contact.htm\">contact me<\/a> and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll gladly create one just for you.
