Hiya,
I wonder if people could pray for me to have pain relief/healing.
heres some background info on me;
I'm 17 years old, and 5 years ago i started getting back pain, i went to my GP's who gave me pain killers and refered me to see a doctor at the hospital who diagnosed me with Kyphosis (a rare version, in the lower back, not the more commen upper back) and Scoliosis and refered me to a specialist.
the nearest specialist was 1 1/2 hours drive away from our home, which was hard for me as sitting for any length of time was painful. I waited for two years to see the specialist as my appointments kept getting changed and cancelled, by this time, my back had got considerably worse
in jan 05, just after my 15th birthday, the specialist gave me a spine brace to wear, which was made of plastic and went from my collor bones to just below my hips which i had to wear for 20 hours a day. This was to try and control the abnormal curves and stop them getting worse.
it worked on the Scoliosis which was mild and undercontrol, but the Kyphosis got considerably worse.
The pain in my back was getting worse everyday and i was getting pains and numbness in my legs.
in march of 2006, i was sent to have mri scans, and was told i had a severly prolapsed disk, which had not just slipped one way, but had been crushed by the pressure from the abnormal curvature and was pressing into my spinal cannal.
in january 07, the damaged disk moved suddenly, and i was unable to walk, or even move much, i was in complete agony and was not able to go to school. i was put on the emergency waiting list to have an operation to remove the damaged disk, fuse the vertebrae, and straighten my spine.
i had this operation in march 07. and was told i could stop wearing the spine brace =D
after the operation i recovored well and it all seemed to be going really well.
but recently, its got alot worse again, my physio has refered me back to the specialist, and i am awaiting an appointment. My physio thinks its another slipped disk.
to say im scared is an understatement. im now 17 years old and i dont know if i can cope with going through all that again.
i would really appriciate prayer for the pain, and that it isnt another slipped disk, but a less complicated/severe problem.
i am a devoted christian, and know, and have witnessed that our Lord can heal.
thank you all
Kate

Hi there Kate and a big welcome to HP. You have been through the wars haven't you for one so young. One of my nieces had Scoliosis and had a metal rod inserted in her spine and then a body brace for a long time when she was a teenager but she is now a mum and has no problems so she must be one of the lucky ones for which she is grateful.
You have been very brave through all this and I'm sure your faith has helped you, which is wonderful. May I send you lots of love, positive thoughts and Reiki healing energy to help you and wish a speedy resolve to your pain?
Love and light
