Members AVBibleBeliever Posted February 20, 2014 Members Share Posted February 20, 2014 Before I go I would like to ask for your prayers. Some of you know I suffered a back injury two weeks ago and ever since I have been in severe pain. Often I cry to the Lord just to give me strength to endure. After getting the x-rays it was discovered I have practically no disc between my L5 and S1 in my lower back. and on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being no disc I was rated at 4.5. I have been to two chiropractors after three visit with one there was not improvement so I transfered to one closer to my home. He was able to help me the first visit and the second one improved a little more but I am still in a lot of pain. the L5 vertebrae is pinching the nerve going down my right side into my leg. No medication really works so you can imagine 24 hours a day it gets to be exhausting. My sleep right now is only for 3 to 4 hours a night and that with the help of medications otherwise I would not be able to sleep at all. The diagnostics is I have osteoarthritis of the lower back and well as degenerative disc syndrome/disease of L5/S1. This is a serious condition as it is a painful one. This is why I am not up to debating and responding to many of the post you have made in the threads. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, I am scheduled to visit a Orthopedic doctor on April 21 (thanks Obamacare) and I will need to have a neuro-specialist also look at me as well after the Orthopedic specialist. God bless you all Yours in Christ CN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted February 20, 2014 Members Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm very sorry to hear of what you are dealing with. My wife has severe osteoarthritis up and down her spine, especially bad in the neck area. She's had surgeries but they can do no more so she lives with chronic pain; some days better, some days worse. I will certainly be praying for you. I've witnessed the awful pain such can cause so I'll be adding you to my special prayer list as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members candlelight Posted February 20, 2014 Members Share Posted February 20, 2014 I will pray for you AVBB. I have upper back problems, so I can sympathize with what you are going through. Thankfully, chiropractic works for me. May God bless you on your trip to the chiropractor on April 21st. May the chiropractor, neuro-specialist, and orthopedic specialist find a solution to the root of your horrible pain. Yours in Christ Jesus.

Members AVBibleBeliever Posted February 23, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thank you all for your prayers. I now you are praying for more than just physical healing and God bless you for that. My six year old did not speak until about 6 months ago. I have him in school for speech therapy here in the States. That is why we are on furlough. I also took a secular job as a dishwasher at a restaurant it was the only job I could get. Because of this episode with my back my finances are depleted and I have not been able to work for two weeks now and the bills are piling up. My two daughters need more paces for homeschool also. Please keep this in prayer also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wretched Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 I am sorry to hear of the pain and do regret that these chiros took your money knowing full well that they would only worsen your condition. Ruptured, or severely degenerated discs are beyond chiro assistance and only further damage what is left. They know this but want your cash and could care less about you pain coming back within a day of each visit to them. Facet and sacro shots from a pain management guy are your real ticket apart from surgery. Get an inversion machine cheap off craigslist and hang upside down every night for 30 minutes, that will do far more to immediately relieve the nerve pinch than some charlatan chiropractor.

Members AVBibleBeliever Posted February 26, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2014 thank you all for your prayers. I do believe God hears. After three adjustments from the new chiropractor I have had 98% relief of pain and no longer need the heavy medications. PTL!!!! I am not 100% or this may inturn be my new 100% we will see in the course of the next few weeks. I will be able to work this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AVBibleBeliever Posted March 15, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2014 I want to give you all a little update on my situation. Thanks for your prayers. I have been released for light work only and I am heading into full recovery in my lower back. At least in terms of the two vertebrae that I dislocated. this week was the first time I had no pain at all. Just keep me in your prayers. the Lord supplied during that time but I am in need still $450 electric bill, $69 Phone and electric all just came in. Plus next wednesday my wife and our sun will need new passports from their countries Embassy that is $120 plus photo's and copies not to mention a full tank of gas and 6 hours driving each way.
