Call it pride or whatever, but I have difficulty asking for prayer.

[Char-Gar]

I am in the eighth week of a back injury, that turned into sciatica about six weeks ago. Thinking I could throw it off, I just "cowboyed up" and went along. I finally had to seek medical help, but can't get into the see the Dr. until July 7. The pain has escalated beyond anything I can bear. I can only hobble a few steps, cannot stand, lay down or sit in most chairs. I have not slept more than an hour a night in well over a week. Two trips to the ER have resulted in nothing more than partial relief for a couple of hours. I have reached the end of my rope with this thing. I am starting to lose my bearings in this maze of agony and pain.

Therefore I will lay aside my cursed pride and ask for your prayer support. Pray that God will give me the strength to endure the pain until a solution is found and healing is on it's way.

Lord I pray to you to help our friend Char-Gar endure the pain and suffering that he has, and in your mercy that you grant him relief , rest , and complete healing as soon as possible - Thank you - Amen

In the powerful and precious name of Jesus I ask that brother Char get a good night sleep, that you would temper the pain and bring healing into his body be it by your power or the wisdom and training of a doctor. I ask father not because he deserves it, but because you are a merciful God who tells us to bring our prayers and supplications before you. Honor his humbleness.

[aspangler]

Prayers sent brother. I just had the shots in my back and they worked great. I went thru this myself for 3 years before I finally convinced the Drs that I was not acting. Pain is no fun to have. Will continue to pray for your quick and complete recovery.

Prayers sent,hang in there

[Der Gebirgsjager]

I will pray for you, sir.

[Wayne Smith]

I'll be praying Char, for both your comfort, structural healing (it's a nerve in the back being agitated by the spine in some way), and for the MD's who will be working with you and advising you. In this case knowledge is power, learn as much as you can about what is happening in your lower back and what you can do about it.

Charles, I'm terribly sorry you are having to endure this. I've lived with this same pain off and on for about 10 years. At one time or another, I've used the oxys, percs, prescription strength ibuprofen and a few others. Once or twice a year now, the muscles in my back go into spasm and for the better part of a week I'm stuck in bed and for another week to ten days on crutches.
Once I get to the point where I can make it unassisted more than a few steps, anti-inflammatories and massage helps more than anything else. Only problem with massage is it has to be repeated at least a half dozen times a day. That moderates the pain just enough to keep you sane.

Finally, I couldn't have gotten this far with the pain without prayer. You have mine for your back and sciatic nerve pain.

[Char-Gar]

Thanks you for your prayers. I got the first decent night sleep in weeks last night. Please continue until this issue is resolved.
