I have had back problems off and on since High School Football that give me bouts of back spasms that have wiped me out for a day or two here and there. But this time it has been much worse and more enduring. I have had intense pain for over two weeks that is pretty debilitating. I’m missing work and falling behind on important projects. I’m missing out on time with the kids and basically everything else just trying to cope with the pain. CT scan says the problem is probably that my disc between my S1 and L5 vertebrae has been flattened out, bone spurs may have developed, and nerves seem to be pinched. Two doctors have told me to stop playing sports. To me, this would be devastating. An MRI is the next step, as well as rest and trying to bring down the swelling.
Please join me in praying for healing and pain relief.
Jesus, please intervene for our brother, Matt, calm these muscle spasms and heal the source of the problem. In the spirit we join with our African brothers and sisters who we know are also praying.

Hey Matt
So sorry to hear about your back pain. I’ll add that to my prayers for you and your family. I’ve had my back pain make me pass out and end me up in the emergency room more than once. I pray you find relief by His grace so you can really be present and focused on the work He has for you and your family. Blessings Tom
