Lynell

Knee Pain, Alternative to Knee Replacement

Lynell had excruciating pain in her knee. She had tried physical therapy, a knee brace, and pain medications, but nothing worked. Her pain kept her up at night and was so bad that she couldn’t get in and out of a car by herself.  Her knee pain prevented her from doing what she loved, including her Saturday shopping excursions.  “It was not me anymore.”

An orthopedic doctor told her that she needed a knee replacement – sooner than later. But Lynell had hip surgery a few years before and had a horrible experience.  Four hip surgeries later, she did not want to undergo another surgery and sought out to find an alternative to knee replacement surgery.

She was nervous and apprehensive about starting therapy. But after she had her first treatment, including high intensity laser therapy, she knew she was on the right path. She appreciated that she was treated with great respect, that the treatments and process were explained to her, and that Dr. Ben Wyant shared in her excitement as she progressively got better.

She admits that it was a rough road at times, but every time she came in, she gained more hope.  Not only is her pain gone, she doesn’t have a potential future surgery weighing on her mind.

“I thank God every night for my life that I have because they have changed a lot of things for me… It is heartwarming to know that there is a place where people don’t have to go under a knife for solutions.”
