I am asking for prayers of healing for my back. I went to look over my x-rays today. And well... they aren't good. The doctor said it is pretty chronic, due to the severity of the displacement and how long it's been like that.
My neck, which is supposed to be curved, is basically a complete reversal from where it is supposed to be. The doctor explained it as how a banana has a curve, if you try to force the banana the other way, that is what is going on with my neck. The side view of my spine is horrible. Your spine should pretty much line up all the way. But mine looks pretty good at the bottom but then, where the mid back is, my spine takes on a curve and is radically out of line. On top of that... a view of my back straight on shows that around that midpoint, my spine is offset to the left.
This all made a lot of sense out of the pain I have almost daily. My backaches, my headaches, my shoulder pains...
I've been told that since I have been like this for so many years, that everything is settled. My spinal cord is being pulled, my muscles have been disrupted due to all this, it's putting pressure on my brain stem, and it could even be causing some of the issues I have with my legs cramping up. He recommended that I go with a 6 week treatment. In which I would have to go in 3 times a week for adjustments, I would also have to go through treatments for my muscles and nerves, and I would have to do reabilitation exercises.
I have no problem doing all this... but I have no insurance. And just for 4 weeks of this treatment I am looking at between $400-$500. And then I still have another 2 weeks to pay for after that. On top of that I have vehicle issues that have to be taken care of asap. Those are looking like they will be at least $300-400. I have been living paycheck to paycheck for years now. I have $100 in a savings account... and that is really sad. This all came on me right as I am taking on having a wedding and moving out.
So... I ask for prayers for healing of my back. And prayers for my fiancial situation. I know God will work it all out for me. But it is the struggle I am going to have to go to "get there". I have always had problems with worrying. I feel it wanting to come in now. I feel like breaking down. But I am working on having faith. I have faith that everything will be okay. I'm not going to worry, I will leave it in God's hands. He will take care of me.
But please... just remember me in your prayers. Thank you.
