Thank you friends for the prayers. I now it was your prayers that have helped me get better so fast. My doctor called me in some fentanyl patches and my pain level is a lot better. Thanks Again.

Thank you Lord!

Glad to hear it Carl. My Brother-in-law has those patches after he fell and shattered his L2 vertebrate a couple of months ago. Between those and prayer, he is up and able to maneuver, even after having 2 rods attached along 7 vertebrate!

Take care buddy!!

Done, my friend.

I'm late getting back to the Forum, and praise the reduction of pain. But you're on my prayer list anyway, Carl, and will stay there.

Many of us over...uh, a certain age, have experienced back problems. So I'll say a little prayer for all our spines tonight.

Where there are four Baptists, there's always a fifth.

Carlson, I will keep you in my prayers that God would heal your back. (BTW, moderate consumption of alcohol may sooth and calm you before bedtime, just don't get behind the wheel. <---- I think you know that already, though.)

Keep us posted.

Did the doctor say that this would go away? I know you said in your first post that this a rather old injury. Regardless, you're on my prayer list until the burden lifts.

Prayers sent. I suffer from much the same problem, and have found that certain carry positions can make the discomfort worse. This too will pass.

If I drank alcohol I would probably have a spasm.

I had low back surgery about 19 years ago. At that time they just simply "trimmed" the disk out and left it bone on bone. Years of wear from a heavy duty belt (not to mention the weight above the duty belt has cause it to get worse. At this time my heart is not strong enough to undergo any type of surgery, so the earthly Physician says. I just go along with their plan and trust the Heavenly Physician.

Good plan.

Carlson I have a degenerated disc in my lower back also and I can go and do a lot but
it never fails if I happen to bend slightly the wrong way the disc will move and the
muscle spasim hits and I'am lucky to be able to crawl to the bathroom.
After a couple of days flat on my back with my legs on a couple of big pillows
and my muscle relaxsors things start to evan out.
See if your doctor will give you some NOROGESIC,s muscle relaxsor's.
Prayers sent for a fast recovery also.

That is me to a tee! I will ask my doctor about the muscle relaxors. I was in so much pain I just wanted the relief.
