  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've been having sharp back pain for the past few days and had to call in on Friday. Please pray it is nothing serious.

I prayed for your back pain, that it will subside and go away.
I think it's from lifting at work. I doubt it's anything serious.

You might be able to request to lift smaller items, or just reduce the amount of items you lift by a small amount.
Yeah, I'm fairly new so I'm too scared to ask. But thank you for the suggestion :)

I'm sorry you're in pain and you have my prayers. Stop by Walgreens or CVS and pick up a box of Salonpas. They work really quick and can be worn for 8 hours. Keep some on hand at work to ease the discomfort. Be mindful of shooting pain or if you lose your balance suddenly. Go to a doctor immediately. Muscular and nerve pain behave differently. If the pain persists see a doctor. It's better to have documentation if accommodations are required.

If you get an exercise ball (the big one) and sit on it with the ball touching the wall and march in place while sitting you'll strengthen your back. It's a low impact exercise I learned in physical therapy and it works.

I hope you feel better soon. :yellowheart:

Praying Riley. Try to make an appointment with your doctor. Back pain can be debilitating. Praying for you in the meantime. Keep us updated. :praying:

Use to be we were constantly told to lift with our legs, not our back. Could be a pulled muscle. Most back pain is from a pinched nerve and the solution is usually exercise and to straighten the back out. I remember in school the teacher would constantly tell us to straighten our back out or we are going to have problems.
