I am scheduled for low back surgery on my L5S1 on Dec. 20th assuming my physical checkup they are requiring prior to it goes ok. I blew four discs in my back while transferring a patient doing home health care and from lifting a niece who was too heavy in 2006. I had two surgeries in end of 2006 and beginning of 2007 and did every other treatment possible. I was doing good until in 2012 my family had a dog resort for 12 yrs and I was our groomer for six years but then began having horrible pain from it after six years so had to give up doing that part. Over the past two years, I have had the most excruciating sciatic pain from the same disc as previous surgeries herniating again. Again I have tried every possible treatment and now it has come down to disc fusion that I have been trying to avoid but with the feeling of a butcher knife stuck in my butt and alternating pain and total numbness down my leg and into my foot and having to start using a cane to walk cause my leg is so weak, I finally repented to surgery. Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks

OP, it is a privilege to lift you up in prayer. In asking for prayer, you are giving honor to the Only Living God in Christ. In lifting you (and others) up for prayer, all of us who pray are (at the very least) acknowledging God as our Lord.
Why is prayer even necessary, if He already knows? I can't really answer that - except to say that I believe that when we pray to God, we are working 'in harness' with Him. We are EXTRAORDINARILY privileged to be working 'hand-in-hand' with... GOD (yes, THAT God - the ONLY God).
I am truly sorry for your pain and all that you have suffered. But let God be GLORIFIED by you asking and by this community responding, in prayer.
To me, this is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT things that happens on GAW.WIN. We are SO BLESSED to be a part of this. "You have more than you know..."
GBY & your loved ones. MAGA-A!
Hank you and Amen to your statement
