Chris undergoes Epidural Steroid Injection

Well...at tad late - as yesterday I drove my son down to Baptist Hospital to have an epidural steriod injection done.  He says he has a lot of pressure on his back - and this morning has reported that he didn't sleep a wink!  His back is giving him fits of pain and numbness down both legs! 

We are praying that he gets relief soon!!!

If the pain doesn't subside - he will have no choice but to try going through a discectomy.  They go in - and trim off the 2 bulging disks in hopes to relieve the pressure off the nerve.  If that doesn't work - then they will look at a total disk fusion - and fuse the 2 culpret disks together.   The surgeon however doesn't want to do that to a 22 year old!!!

Drats - those football days - have really done him in!!!  He now regrets that he ever played football.  It has wreaked havoc in his spinal cord!!!

The doctor point-blankly told him that he will have no choice but to work with his mind - not his body!  I guess he needs to quit that server and retail sale's jobs!!!  Even so though - he will have a tough time sitting for any length of time!!!

I feel so helpless to help him!  So....I just keep praying that God will heal his aching back so he can lead a normal life without so much pain and numbness going down into his legs!!!!
