Prayer request May 22, 2019 06:14AM |

I've been dealing with major lower back pain since January. Ironically, i was doing what i love to do when i felt it go bad...digging a pit in a winter camp. I made it through the spring DIV hunt a couple months later but it's been taxing ever since. Not only do I never dig anymore, it has become very difficult to interact with my son like I want to which is what pains me the most emotionally. Every day is a whirlwind of emotions.
MRI results show a major bulging disc at the L3/L4 level and a small tear in the L4/L5 disc. I'm struggling mentally at this point thinking about my future whether it be digging or my quality of life going forward. I go for injections tomorrow and dread the thought of surgery.
Please send some prayers up for me.
Thanks,
Barry

Barry,
I truly feel your pain! I have a bulging disk in L4/L5 which has been lingering for almost a year now. Might right quad muscle feels like a mule kicked me several times and my right calf is numb from the knee to my ankle with sharp burning pains constantly. I don't know if you've tried the "inversion table" and if not, you might want to look into it. It does provide some relief although temporary, but it's worth it. In fact, it's pretty good soul medicine as you can get your son to help you on the table with adjusting it and have some laughs while he totters you to different levels. Both my son and daughter do that with/for me and we always have a chuckle!
I'll be praying for you and I do hope you find relief soon! As Gen. Nathen Bedford Forrest said, "Keep up the Skeer"! God bless and take care, Shane

Prayers sent Barry for you and your family. Hope everything goes well and the pain heals. Worse case, you may have to surface hunt a little more than digging pits!! (n/t) May 25, 2019 05:50PM |

Prayers sent Barry. I have had two back surgeries but if you can do shots and therapy to relieve the pain that is the way to go. Only take Nsaids with food on your stomach. (n/t) May 25, 2019 12:10AM |

Good nsaids, tub soaks,back exercises, and sleeping on hardwood floors helped me tremendously when I was younger with my own lumbar disc problems. I hope it fades away and you can avoid surgery. Good luck Barry. (n/t) May 24, 2019 11:42PM |

that all goes well for you. I'm having some problems myself, but am thinking old age is creeping up on me. I go to the Dayton Ohio VA next week to have my spinal cord checked for maybe a pinched nerve. I'll be driving down the road and my left or right arm will just go numb, it's pretty scary. Hopefully they will find the cause.
Praying for you my friend,
Denny

Barry, I will be praying for you, buddy. My wife has had L4/5 issues for many years now and routine activity and therapy have really helped. Options have certainly improved over recent years. (n/t) May 23, 2019 07:02PM |

If surgery is the way to go, keep in mind they can do so much more now than they did even ten years ago! Also, if you do have the surgery, don't rush your recovery! DO WHAT THE DOCTOR AND PHYSICAL THERAPISTS SAY! I am confident you will be back finding and digging those pits in no time! Take care!
