• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I hurt my back and have been told by a physical therapist that I may have damaged nerves / disc in my lower back and it may never get better. Please pray for healing. I've prayed for healing but it didn't work.
I'm only 20 yrs old (21 in 2 days) and don't want to be sore forever.

We do not always get instant healing. We need to continue to pray and have faith and believe & trust in God. Then we receive gradual healing over time. God does not disappoint those who have faith, trust and believe in Him. In everything we are to give thanks and He causes all things to work together for good. "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1Thes5:18) "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

I believe in restoration miracles that goes beyond what we can do apart from God. I had an injury where there was pain in my lower back. I went to therapy and he gave me exercise to straighten out the back to resolve the pain from a pinched nerve. This has been pretty effective for me. If the pain starts up then I do the exercises to straighten out my back and that resolves the issue for me.

I wish and pray that you recover, but please keep in mind that our prayers may not necessarily be answered in the particular way we might want them to be... God knows what is best for us far better than we would ever know; this is one of the reasons we might pray.
