80-year-old Woman Recovers from Multiple Fractures in 45 Days Without Medical Treatment

(Minghui.org) I am an 80-year-old woman who practices Falun Dafa. I’d like to you about an amazing experience I had recently.

Severe Fall Trying to Cross a Street

One day in November 2022, I tried to quickly cross a street before the pedestrian light turned red. I suddenly fell hard. I felt like I was about to pass out, but I reminded myself that I practice Falun Dafa and I would be fine. I slowly sat up.

A young woman saw what happened, helped me stand up and then left. I had great difficulty walking on my own and had to sit down on the curb. I kept reminding myself that I was a practitioner, and I asked Master to help me. I stood up again and, by carefully taking one step at a time, I eventually made it to the entrance of my apartment building. When I tried to grab the handrail to walk upstairs, I realized that I couldn’t raise my left arm, which hurt terribly. I held onto the wall with my right hand and slowly made it up to my apartment.

Multiple Fractures

When I looked at myself in the mirror I saw that my left shoulder drooped and appeared to be dislocated. I thought I’d just go to the hospital and have a doctor pop the shoulder back, and I would do the Falun Dafa exercises.

I lived alone as my husband passed away a few years ago and all my children moved out. A friend went to the hospital with me and the doctor, after seeing the X-ray, said that my upper left arm was fractured in a few places. He said that, given my age, there wasn’t much I could do except take some medicine and immobilize my arm and let it heal by itself. I told my friend that I’d heal it my own way, and left the hospital without getting any treatment.

Arm Heals in 45 Days

I did not tell my children what happened, because I didn’t want them to worry. I remembered reading a story about how a Falun Dafa practitioner’s leg was broken in several places while he was tortured in prison. The prison doctor didn’t bother lining up the broken bone and just put a cast on his leg. The practitioner insisted on doing the sitting meditation with both legs crossed, despite the excruciating pain. In the end, his leg healed as through it had never been broken. I told myself that he and I practiced the same teaching and had the same Master. If he could do it, so could I.

My left arm hurt no matter how I positioned it, and the pain spread throughout my body, making me tremble. I couldn’t lie down and could only sit leaning against a wall. I kept reciting, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” until I fell asleep. When the pain woke me up, I continued to recite the phrases.

Despite my fractured arm, I still continued my routine of delivering informational materials including Minghui Weekly to other practitioners. Reading Minghui Weekly has been the main channel for us to stay connected to the Minghui website, as most of us can’t browse Minghui directly on our computers. One practitioner lives far away and I have to take a bus to get to her place. It wasn’t easy for me, but with Master’s help, I managed to do it.

Other practitioners came to my house to pick up the materials. When they saw that my left arm was purple, they brought me steamed buns and dumplings. Their kindness gave me strength and encouragement.

The pain almost stopped me from doing the exercises. But I told myself that I had to persevere. I needed to do the exercises to transform my physical body. I tried to exercise with my right arm only, but the pain was still unbearable. I reminded myself that Master was watching me and I had to keep going. Ten days later, I could move my left arm a little. I then did the exercises with both arms, even though my left arm couldn’t yet move up to the correct position. Gradually my left arm got better and my movements became more precise.

After 45 days, my left arm was completely healed. That day when I could fully hold up my left arm while doing the second exercise, I couldn’t stop crying.

There’s an old saying, “It takes 100 days to recover from bone and tendon injuries.” I was in my 80s and I recovered from multiple fractures in my arm without taking any medicine. All I had was my unwavering belief in Master and Falun Dafa. I thank Master for his compassionate salvation!
