Had my new knee joint replaced but desperately need some advice on new reading please

[tange4]

Had my new new knee joint put in my right leg and it does seem to be a great job done. I know some of you had helped me with the reading before I had it replaced. However my left leg of which I had three hip replacements has been hurting like heck and I have had my left pelvis x rayed a number of times but they don't know where the pain is coming from. I am in misery, can't fully enjoy my new knee because of this agony.
Hexagram 39 Limping , red lines 1, 2, and 4 (the title just blew me away because that is exactly what I am doing)
Hexagram 23 Stripping Away no red lines.

Are these hexes inferring that I have to have more surgery? and if so what part of the body is causing it? my left hip that was replaced, my spine, what? I am desperate folks and thank you very much for any help.

I am not sure what your casting was. Hexagram 39 with lines 1, 2, and 4 changing does not change to 23. Nevertheless, reading the two hexagrams you gave as significant of your condition, I note that Mountain (Ken) occurs in both and suggests the spine. Should you have further surgery? Not if you can avoid it. If you customarily sit in a recliner, stop it. Recliners do not provide good back support. I had two relatives, both with back pain, whose health was ruined by spending most of the day and night in recliners in front of a TV. Mild exercise, especially in water, can strengthen your body's structure. If you pay attention to your body you should be able to determine exactly where the pain is coming from. There is no such thing as generalized back pain. Even in sciatica, If your back hurts, it hurts at one tiny spot, no bigger than a pencil eraser. You should be able to find this spot by pressing firmly on your body. I did not know how to localize pain until I practiced accupressure on myself. Often one cannot know the specific location of pain spots without searching for them. In my experience the main source of back pain is below the belt line around the two pelvic protrusions on each side of the spine. Feel for them and you will find them. Press around your hip joints too. The pain may be from muscles, ligaments and tendons surrounding the joint and not within the joint itself.

Hello Pocossin. Are you saying that these two Limping 39 and 23 Stripping are most likely to do with the spine and not the third hip replacement that was done? I do have two spinal discs that don't have any gel left in them and stenosis of the spinal column at C1 and C2 which is quite dangerous the Dr.s have said. However they routinely check the stenosis and it is stable but then it might be the spinal discs without gel?
Am trying hard to find the spots around the pelvic protusions but am not sure I did find the exact thing you are speaking of. Thanks for all of this info and if you have any other thoughts please don't hesitate to send them along.

Does anyone else care to elaborate on my readins here? I need a bit more clarity.

I wasn't entirely sure that I understood Pocosssin's posting to me but was thankful that he tried to help me. anyone else have anything to add please? Thank you.

Judging from your account, I note that the pain in your left leg did not begin until after the knee replacement in your right leg. Possibly, your legs are now of unequal length and this is putting more pressure on the replaced left hip joint and causing the pain. If this inequality exists, then it can be easily corrected by putting a pad in your shoe, but I am not sure which shoe needs the pad. You'll need to experiment. I'd guess that the right knee replacement has lengthened your right leg, so a pad in your left shoe would compensate for the inequality and perhaps relieve the pain, but if a pad in your left shoe makes the pain worse, then try a pad in your right shoe. Being out of kilter could also cause pain in your back.

Ken/Spinal pain

Pocossin that is a fabulous idea, putting a pad into one of my shoes. I will experiment and let you know the outcome in a week's time providing I remember to get on, lolo. I never would have thought of such a small but perhaps wonderful idea. Thanks so much.

Pocosssin or anyone else please

I asked this Q: What needs to be done to fix my left knee and received Hexagram 53, changing line one.
And once again the corresponding hex was Limping! What in the world does Hex 53 line one have to do with how to fix my aching left knee which is crooked? As some already know, I had my right knee replaced a month ago on May 9th but now my left knee is killing me. I don't want to have another knee replacement now or ever but maybe I'll have to do what I don't want to do? I please need some clarity on this one? From what I understand of Hex 53, I think it means having patience but that is hard to do when one is hurting and scared. Thanks everyone for any and all advice.:bows:

Hi Tange, as your left knee will be taking more strain whilst your right knee is out of action I wonder if that accounts for the pain. I had a painful clicking jaw on one side...then the dentist suggested I was chewing much more on that side because I have a big gap on the back on the other side where I had a tooth out.

Hexagram 53 line 1 does not change to 39 it changes to 37,,,unless you had other lines moving ? If ever 53 comes up think 'gradual'...you are right I think when you say it advises patience. Try not to be scared as not all pain means something bad is happening. Having said that I can't take the place of your dr and if you are worried you need to contact them again. However I feel 53.1 just may indicate your body needs time to rebalance. Having a knee operation will mean you hold yourself differently...your body needs time to adjust. I wonder if you can get help with this through physiotherapy or perhaps help from osteopaths etc. Have you been given excersizes ? Sorry don't know much about knee operations.

Re the pad in your shoe I'm sorry but I think you need to be cautious with this...as you don't want to throw things out of alignment even more. I would not put a pad in your shoe unless you have consulted with a dr or therapist first....it's early days for healing that right knee I don't think putting pads in shoes at this stage is wise without proper advice.

Looking at the first reading 39.1.2.4>23...er well 39.1.2.4 changes to 43 not 23. Somewhere you are making mistakes with the relating hexagram. You said 23 'no red lines'..red lines are changing lines. I suggest you figure how to cast with coins or beads, see 'learn' section as otherwise you are going to get lost. The changing lines change the hexagram into the relating hexagram...which never has changing (red lines)

39>43 speaks of firm resolve to try things the new way....it takes time and determination. I also think this may counsel you to seek further support from others in similar situations. 39 can be lonely if you don't reach out. So I am wondering if the support you need right now is not more surgery but more people to listen to you, who have been what you have been through. I also think you may need to talk to your usual dr again for advice on how to handle this pain. So in general I feel this answer really does advise you to speak out (hex 43) about your difficulties (hex 39). Who can you talk to about this ?I think you need more support in the recovery and rebalancing of your body as it heals. meantime if you haven't already try googling for forums on knee operations etc as then you can speak to others with the same problem

Here is a forum where people may be discussing issues following knee surgery. Why not join and ask for advice ?

Thanks ever so much Trojan for your insight into my left leg problem. I so appreciate any help, so thanks friend. I will look up the link you sent and where do I find the page to toss coins?
I do hope that all your jaw problems are solved once and for all. Blessings galore, Tange4

 

[Trojina]

Hi Tange, here is a link to casting with coins http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/learn/consult/casting.php

Also at the top right of this page there's a tab called 'Learn' where you can find a free I Ching course.

Marbles or beads are also nice and quick to consult with...will see if can find link for that

 

[Trojina]

Another way to cast is with marbles. I currently use this way of casting because it's nice and you can find pretty beads or marbles to use

[Trojina]

And there's ideas here on how to make the beads into an IC bracelet so you can consult wherever you are

Hi Tange,

Good news that the surgery went well !!

Your readings probably are :
39.3.5.6 >23 and 53.6>39 you just count the lines at an opposite order.

39.3 sounds like you need to concentrate to the rehabilitation and put other things aside for a while. maybe they cause some stressors that aren't useful at the present.

39.3 & 5 , are speaking for getting support from people around you. A thorough explanation from your doctor about our overall condition re the medical part and other people for assistance or any kind of support you need.

its not only the body needs some time to recover from the surgery but also your mind has to familiarize the new condition and learn to walk again. Also, the whole process is very stressful ; the decision, the anxiety of the surgery, the surgery itself especially if you had a spinal anesthesia and witness it.

I hear you asking twice if you need to have another surgery; can't see that in your readings but your doctor is in a position to know and inform you. maybe it will save some extra worries. probably you already know that hips and knees go together but only your doctor knows that.

Believe me, I know some things you are talking about and I had intense pain -like sciatica when external stressors were added in a fragile period. At the beginning was very scared that something was going wrong but when I observed it and realized the core of the problem i could handle it mentally. I'm not saying its your case, don't take it like that , but sometimes the body seeks other ways to express internal pressure. Kind of what happens to the waters when the face an obstacle . they look for a path with less resistance. ( hex 39)

I like the image of the flying geese. Wins the gravity force ( h39 ?? ) and flys Isn't that a nice image when walking in our life is painful ?

take care. Hope you will be pain-free soon !

Hexagram 39 is referring to Western wind towards the East being obstructed, whilst Hexagram 23 is referring to Eastern wind eroding the West.
