I am going to ask for prayers for myself this time. I have chronic back pain and have had three back surgeries. I have accepted this as my cross, but will try new things. I will be having a facet block injection to my lower back this Friday at 10:30 a.m. If you could remember to pray for me prior or during the procedure that all will go well and that it will work and take some of my pain away. I have accepted that I will never be totally pain free unless it be a miracle from God. So far nothing man has done has worked permanently.

I appreciate the prayers and thank you from now. I also ask for prayers for my marriage as well. Thanks again and may the Lord bless you for your Spiritual kindness.

I am definitely going to pray you! Three surgeries are too many! Back problems are horrible. I’ve had back surgery myself. Regarding the facet block injection: I’ve had a few done in my upper back. Not to worry. They are bearable. I will also pray that Our Lady comforts you during this time and that Our Lord helps you to carry this burdensome cross. It may, however, be doing a lot of good for others! God bless you!!🙂

Praying for your intentions:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

God Bless
In Jesus through Mary

I will pray for you at morning Mass on Friday. Hope all goes well and you will be relieved from the terrible pain!
 
Thanks for all your prayers. I had the injections and it was not what I thought it was going to be. I have had so many injections on my back and different types, that I told the Nurse Practitioner the wrong one. I told her that the very last injection I had helped me with pain for two months so I wanted to have another. She put me down for a Medial facet block. Well, when I got to the surgery center and was being put into the room, I recognized it and asked if these injections were the ones where they put four injections on each side of my spinal column. The doctor said yes. I told him that the last one did not help and that is why I did not schedule the others that needed to follow. He researched my records and admitted that the very last injection was an epidural. That is the one that helped me. So he asked what I wanted to do. Since I was there, I said to go ahead, but boy did I regret that decision. I recalled how painful these injections were and they don’t give you anything to help with the pain. I had to squeeze a ball and at one time tears came down. After the procedure, I was only painful for about 30 minutes, just like before. I had just forgotten and like before at night I was in excruciating pain. I can’t take pain medicines at night for they give me insomnia and they don’t give me any anyway. So needless to say, I was a bit cranky with dh and dd. I started to cry at one point and they got that I was in so much pain. DH cooked my dinner and my poor dd kept asking me if I needed anything, so I allowed her to get me water and so forth. I am better today, but the pain is still there.

The doctor wants to do this again in two weeks, but there is no way. There was no benefit from it and I am not going to go through that pain again. I did offer up my pain for sinners for I never allow any of my pain to go to waste. It is so hard at times to deal with though. I have had back pain for more than 20 years now. I keep hoping for a miracle, but at the same time accepting this as one of my crosses.

Thanks again for your prayers for I am sure they helped me. Who knows without them, I might have been in worse pain.

God bless you all.🙂

Oh, how I feel for you! I can almost feel your pain!! Chronic pain is so difficult to deal with. Only a person who has it can understand what you are going through, and I am one of those people. I have a few types of chronic pain and they are extremely difficult to bear. They are heavy crosses. Like you, I offer them up. I will be praying daily for you, nana, and will pray for you at Mass. Hang in there. One thing: you’re lucky to have a husband who understands and a daughter who cares, too. That’s a blessing, right? Much love,
 
Praying for you nana3…

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Dear God, we know that You will not let us carry a cross that is too much for us to carry. And we know each time, when we carry our cross, You helped and carried with us too

Do bless us and we trust you totally, for all that is coming ahead. We may not know why, but we know you will let us know in YOUR TIME.
 
I pray that you are doing better in all aspects of your life. I wish I had something smart or beneficial to say, that would just take your pain away. But all I can do is pray…I wish the Lord would send us another Father Solanus Casey, Padre Pio or Martin of Porres, there are so many people that need healing. I think we need to start asking for that one, nothing is impossible for the Lord, anyway:) .

“Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounnds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls.”
“My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Thy Holy Wounds.”
 
Thanks again for all of your prayers and Mass intentions. I am overwhelmed with all of your love and prayers. Thanks and may the Lord bless you for it. I have not been well since these injections and in fact I am worse with pain. I wish I never had them done. I appreciate your prayers. I am sure your prayers help me more than I know.
