Old back injury is acting up pretty badly. Problem, besides the pain, is that we're taking our grandchildren on a trip next week. Their parents are being stationed in S. Korea for the next 4 yrs. and they're leaving the 1st week of Dec. so cannot reschedule. This means we will probably only see them 4 times during the next 4 yrs. Freaking out because I am going on this trip regardless but it would be better if I'm not in pain. So PLEASE pray that God heals my pain. If He decides I have to suffer the pain, maybe He could have it start after our trip?

Hey fren, pain sucks. I have had back pain every single day for the past 3 years, off an on before that. Yours may be worse, mine is constant but not unbearable, maybe a 4 out of 10, but it never stops.
Not sure why I am replying except to say I get it. My advice is do not medicate. advil worked best for me, but ripped my stomach apart. The heavy stuff never helped me, I suggest not taking it.
Prayers for you. Keep living your life and try not to think about the pain. Stretch, get an inversion table and exercise.
Take a look at these guys! They are goofy but they have done wonders just doing their exercises. You can search Bob and Brad chiropractor and whatever the issue is (ie first rib is mine). I had unbearable shoulder pain, turns out it wasn’t my shoulder!

thanks, I should look into something, I have been skeptical of chiropractors. Have degenerative disc, but I should do something. Just don't want a spinal fusion and don't want drugs.
I couldn’t move one weekend, single mom three kids. I did the “dad” jobs and sometimes my body couldn’t handle it.One Friday afternoon, I was in tears and desperate. Called acupuncture, doctors (but didn’t want meds), blah blah blah. Only person willing to help was a chiropractor. Instantaneous relief. Got me to dig deeper into natural paths.
Give Bob and Brad a try… they’re the “two most famous physical therapists on the internet”! 😂 I stand corrected. Do the exercises for a couple days and report back!

I won't take anything too strong and my doc is not the type who prescribes very much. My go to is aspirin and CBD cream. I really would just let it go except for the trip.
This past summer, I did an online deliverance prayer session. My back hurt all the time and I would have terrible migraines. Both went away. I always pay attention to how I bend over to pick something up except the other day when I stupidly bent from the waist. So out of the ordinary for me to move that way.
If you or if any of you are interested in the prayer session, go to https://www.catholicexorcism.org/ and register. Some might think it's woo woo - I kinda sorta did but apparently there is evil that cause all kinds of health problems. There's a session the night before our trip and you better believe I'm taking part!
interesting prayer session. I may take a look at that, thank you. Hope your pain gets better.
It really is. Thanks so much - each day is better.
