What a Pain!


All the long weekend Tom was in great pain--all up and down his right leg. He could hardly walk. Of course something like that always happens on a long holiday weekend. But he went to the doctor yesterday and will go for a MRI on Friday. In the meantime he's gotten a prescription for the pain with instructions not to lift anything. The doctor suspects a bulging disc pressing on the sciatic nerve. As a result he may have some nerve damage in his foot as parts of his foot are numb. Please pray for an easy fix and restoration of health soon.

Yikes!! That sounds a lot like my dad with his neck and his arm being numb. We'll definitely be praying!!

That's what my problem was about 28 years ago. My foot was so numb I could barely walk. Once I had the operation to fix the disk, I had no nerve damage and have no other problems since! I hope Tom has a similar outcome.

I hope he will be okay. He is in my prayers. Tom is the best big brother ever! Good thing we didn't drag him to Detroit
