Please pray

[AmazingGrace]

Not sure what else to say

I want to ask my AFF family to please say a prayer for me tonight...

I hurt my back a week and half ago.. it was pretty bad but progressively got worse over days... I took myself to the ER last week... They decided it was a herniated disk...

So I go to my dr day before yesterday. She has another MRI done... It appears I have a herniated disk and possibly a ruptured disk also... I dont know a lot about all of this so I am learning as I go too so please dont ask me any detailed questions as right now I havent a clue... but then she has me start PT today... oh this didnt go well at all... was unable to sit in their chairs to do half of the exercises... felt like someone had taken a machette to my hind end! Then I had pool therapy (treadmill in the pool) oh this was ok.. until I got done and well... there was that stupid machette again! Yes I know I cant spell tonight either please forgive...

So then I go back and see the dr... with results of the MRI... She is standing there studying my every move as we talk... she starts asking about certain things.. about that time I had a bout of... right side of face going numb.. this hadnt happened too often but a couple of times... she noticed and said that gave substance to her thoughts.. they are now thinking I had a mini stroke also or a very very mild stroke at the same apparent time this happened with my back. There was no obvious damage so they are going to have me checked out by a neurologist to verify but they think everything considered that will be ok... its just a slight occasional numbness... the back is a biggie though... I go to a pain management dr tomorrow I think... so say a prayer please that this all just stops!

[Cindy]

Praying for you, AG! You are way too young to be having this type of trouble!!!

[seguidordejesus]

A lady that was visiting last Sunday (and that I translated for) got healed of this very thing last Sunday night! Perhaps you should come visit! :)

[Ferd]

AG, have you called my Doctor yet???????


PLEASE call him.

[AmazingGrace]

Yes Sherri I know... its really freaky.. other than colds and the normal run of the mill stuff I dont usually get this sick... I get pneumonia almost every year... Thats been a thing since I was a kid... but this stuff is getting rediculous! Its like I told hubby... last year was a lot of crazy drama... but at least I wasnt sick the whole time.. I am sick of being sick...

The dr keeps assuring me that the back thing is nothing that I did or could really be prevented. It seems all of the wrecks I was in as a youngster... along with the run of the mill things just all came to one big train wreck that happened when I reached down to grab a phone book :(...

I know God can heal this and I am just praying for a miracle because I Am to the point.. I dont handle pain well at all.. a big sissy I am right now..

Thank you all for the prayers... gonna lurk for a few then off to bed.

[AmazingGrace]

AG, have you called my Doctor yet???????

[Pressing-On]

AG! I am praying for you!!!!!!

AG, when I was rear ended by the drunk driver six years ago, I had 5 herniated discs.
I have also had a mild stroke as well in the past.

Part of it is the age we are living in.

God still heals & desires to do so still.
He desires to get all the glory!!

Praying for healing & restoration along with all of the blessings he has in store for you and your family!

Hang in there!

[AmazingGrace]

Isn't that a drug????

In this case it is my primary care physician

Lima beans? :D

[AmazingGrace]

I am so sorry you are going through this. (very heartfelt)

Will be praying.

Thank you so much and I did get your pm and wanted to thank you... dont really have it in me to type that much tonight so please know I thank you I just cant sit for more than about 5 min right now...

Everyone I want to thank you all for the prayers. I know you are praying.. I feel them because this pain cannot be eased by medicine yet there are times that for just brief minutes it goes away and thats when I am assured there are prayers going up on my behalf...

I was supposed to start with the pain mgmt dr today but plans have changed. Thanks to Ferd talking to me and making me realize what I already kind of felt that things werent being done properly or in order.. I called and verified what he said and what I felt and I have changed drs... I am seeing Ferds dr on Thursday and we will go from there... My dr was supposed to have another MRI done today but they didnt get it set up until 6 tonight so I will have to wait for that until Monday morning.

Again I appreciate the prayers and please keep them coming... feels like someone has taken a hammer to my back and tailbone...

[AmazingGrace]

I am glad you changed docs..sometimes it is better to check around with others.

We will keep praying.

Thank you... I know that looked funny that I said thatthen typed a book... the book was written earlier to someone in pm lol...

And yes.. About the dr... This is a road I dont know many who have gone down in this area.. and thankfully Ferd knew a good dr... and knew the signs of things being done not right.

Amazing Grace, first let me tell you that you are in my prayers. I was pleased when I saw that you were changing DR's. When I had a herniated disc in my neck which caused a pinched nerve in my arm and severe pain, pain that totally disabled me, my PCP set me up to go to PT. I went a couple of times and the pain was just horrible. I went to a neurologist who referred me to a neurosurgeon who put me all back together as good as new. Thank God! However, what I wanted to tell you was the neurologist stopped PT immediately. He said that it could do irreparable damage! So be careful, I am glad that you have got a good reference for the doc you are seeing now. Medical care is so scary and it is so hard to know if we are going to the right doc. But we do know the Great Physician! Remember, the others are only practicing! Take care girl! You will be in my prayers!

Yes I agree... it was scary... The thing that got me the most was when they had me doing the pool therapy and they tried to use the spray massager on my back!!!!! After I about puked (sorry to be so blunt) from the pain and then letting out a loud scream... I was finally able to tell him this was not going to work! Then when I talked to Ferd and he was the second person to tell me they had never done PT without first having an injection... so I was thinking hmmm.. and yes the dr said what everyone else was saying so I am very glad I made this move.. I havent even met the Dr yet but just talking to his office staff I feel so much more comfortable with my care.

[Barb]

Praying here, AG...

[AmazingGrace]

Barb thanks for the continued prayers...

I feel a little selfish even asking after looking at OneAccord and the situation there... it is in these things we see we dont have it as bad as we feel we do...

I am a bit scared right now. I know I shouldnt be but hubby just got called to East Tx. They are moving his rig so he has to be there to oversee the move. He will be home this weekend for a couple days but wont be here for my appointment with the back dr. I am trusting Ferd on this one! LOL He better be a good dr!!!! kidding I trust.. have heard a lot of good since I have been checking around. just nerve wracking!

One good thing.. today was a very good day! The pain eased a whole lot.. it is back a bit tonight but not near as bad as it has been. The numbness is a lot worse which may explain why I dont feel a lot of pain lol... but I can live with it...

Sunday at church pastor called me to the front and had all the ministerial staff come and pray... I really feel God did something...no the pain is not totally gone.. but I have had 2 really good nights sleep since.. that in itself is such a blessing!

[MrsBOOMM]

Give God the praise! Continue to believe Him for a complete healing! We sure have been hearing about a lot of healings and answered prayers, makes you wonder just what God is up to! Praying for ya!

AG, glad to hear it is a bit better.
Whatever the way God chooses, either through Doctors or God, I pray you get restoration!!

[AmazingGrace]

Amen and I receive it and believe it will be done! The meds however have made me so bouncy tonight I dont know if I will ever get to sleep!

[Blubayou]

AG- Hand in there. Praying for you.

[OneAccord]

AmazingGrace-

I'm praying for you. May you feel His healing touch.

[AmazingGrace]

Brother!

I want to thank you for your prayers and tell you that you know not what it means to see the strength you portray at this time! Your strength and spirit has made me want to push thru the pain so much stronger. Makes us all realize that thru the things we may go thru... we can still be a blessing to others as you have been to so many of us during this time

[AmazingGrace]

My new Dr is awesome! My appointment which they say expect your first one to take 2-3 hrs.. lasted 38 min! He knew exactly what was wrong from the first instant.. He looked at my MRI and came into the room and told me exactly where I was hurting and what was wrong and what he was going to do and that was that... LOL..

My L4 and L5 are majorly bulging and are so close together that there is absolutly no room for the nerve at all so it is pinched so tight so tomorrow I go in and get my first injection to the frisco office..then I go back next week and he will see how much more in the injection area he needs to do and start PT more than likely the following week. He was irate that they had me go to the PT already! He said its a miracle they did not make the damage so much worse. He thinks we caught it early enough to avoid surgery but he is not sure. I go in Wed to have a nerve test done which is the main thing he is worried about.

He said there appeared to be more damage but that it has apparently "fixed itself" lol... he said he can see signs of damage but no remnants are left,,,

One more thing that has eaten me alive since I hurt my back is that I was feeling so much like maybe God had for some reason "taken back my healing" I know he doesnt do that but in 03 I was in a car wreck that shattered 2 vert. They were pretty much irreperable... He saw the MRI and all the dr reports from that and said there were actually no signs whatsoever that had ever even occured! That made me feel so much better... and he said I had other than this current damage one of the most healthy spines he had ever seen.. then I looked at him and said.. so there are no signs of scoliosis? he looked at me like I was nuts and said no why? Who told you you had that? I said I was born with it... nearly a 40%curve... he looked back at the records I took w me and said... hmmm... nope... spine is fine... looked at me real funny and left the room LOL... then the office assistant came in and made all my other appts LOL... so needless to say it was a very interesting appt. But I really feel like I did the right thing by changing to him... actually no.. I know I did the right thing!!!

I go in about 8 hrs to have my first injection.. very nervous but I will get thru it! God is so good!

[AmazingGrace]

Hey guys... I know this has been up here so long no one is probably seeing it but just in case... please say a prayer for me for the evening or so.. this is proving to be no fun at all! I went and had a facet block injection today... basically just a pain injection... thing is its normally done under sedation and with lidocane...well they were unable to get a vein to start the iv as I was pretty much totally dehydrated because of the amount of pain I have been in the last few days my dr knew this was going to happen... so he did this without sedation. He went in with the xray to make sure he had the right place and I could feel those stupid scopes going all over my back and I wanted to scream then the injection... he did give me a mild shot to numb some of it but not near as much as we had hoped... so sitting standing moving all hurt bad!!! I also am not supposed to drive but my dad had to run me home and leave immediately to head to Ok to my great aunts funeral which is in the morning but he has to oversee the estate and they needed him there now! Robs at work so I am fixing to venture out to get my kids from school! So please pray as I wrap the lovely ice pack around me and head off to the wild blue yonder! Thanks so much!

[dizzyde]

AG, I am praying for you right now, that God would just touch your body and give you relief from all the pain!!!

Hang in there Girl!!!! Hug! :friend

[Blubayou]

AG - Praying for you now- Take care and be careful!

[AmazingGrace]

arrived home from running to get kids and am fixing to fall back into bed... this is a night to do absolutely NOTHING! I do have to say my back.. the part that was hurting feels 75% better already!!! The pain right now is from the injection and from the fact that I felt everything your not supposed to feel! He said he hasnt done one of these like this in years!!! But he called a few min ago to check in and we have decided all of mine will be done like this just to save from the poking and prodding of the nurses which was soooooo frustrating!!! Love yall and post later at ya (if I can stay awake!)
