Back Pain Stinks!
And it affects every part of my life!
For those of my readers who are praying people, I covet your intercession. I’ve been having increasingly worse lower-back pain since last Thursday—in the disc below the ruptured one on which I had surgery four years ago (ironically, on August 5, 2003).
My doctor put me on a strong steriod treatment (six pills today, five tomorrow, four the next day, etc., for six days) and gave me a muscle relaxer to take at night. She also referred me to physical therapy, though they were out to lunch when I just tried to call to set up an appointment.
Needless to say, this is greatly hindering my ability to be able to sit at the computer to blog or write, so I’ll try to get things posted as I start to feel better.

Many prayers for your speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear about your back pain. It’s not fun (I’ve had pinched or pulled nerves in my lower back before and it’s not fun…I know it’s not the same as what you’re going through though). Currently I’m suffering from a stiff/sore neck for the last 2 1/2 days and hoping it goes away quickly. I don’t know what caused it because I was fine until Sunday afternoon when it hit, seeminly out of the blue.
Anyway, I pray your back gets better quickly!

Have you ever tried Upper Cervical Spinal Care. I’ve been amazed at the pain relief I’ve gotten just by the doctor adjusting my neck with little to no pressure at all. He says he can help people with all kinds of back pain, including ruptured discs. I had continuous pain in my neck for 6 months (I’m thinking my traditional chiropractor caused it) the moment the UCSC doctor adjusted me, I felt immediate relief. We’re working towards getting my neck to hold its alignment, but it’s amazing what a difference this has made!
