Well Saturday found me with being worked on by a Doctor of Physical Therapist and she was great and very good at relieving the pain in my knee from the pinched nerve, with over an hour of therapy using very different methods such as suction cups, needles and manipulations. I was very impressed with her therapy and I was pain free for the rest of day and evening. We even had neighbors Dan and Carol over for a lite supper of pizza and a fresh garden salad and afterwards played hand, knee and foot. The gals whupped Dan and I, but it was fun. It was nearly 8:30 when the game ended and I had no pain in neither the back or knee but that changed when Nancy mentioned that Jen had sent her some stretches for me on her phone. Well I did several of them and I must have either over did them or in the wrong position because the knee and back both began to ache and I was once relegated to the spare room with severe knee pain, so it was back to the ice pack and eventually the heating pad, DANG
I had started the day with a 7'ish rollout to my routines that always begins with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several including myself for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding and I need lots of prayers for both as this back issue and sciatica nerve pain is debilitating and demoralizing. After the DPT(doctor of physical therapy) left I felt great and was in good spirits but that all changed when after a hot shower the pain emerged once again and I had to leave and sleep with my leg propped up on a pillow in the spare bedroom with an ice pack under neath my lower back. I did take a muscle relaxer which I hadn't used in a couple days and a night time pain pill sleeping very little through out the night, oh well. It's back to the chiropractor on Monday and God only knows how many more trips that will be, LATER
