THIS IS THE WORST

I am grounded to my home for the next several days, doctor's orders.  I was in the Emergency Room yesterday (May 4th) from noon to 5 pm. I was having extreme pain in my right hip, lower back, right knee and leg.  After seeing my doctor at 11:30 am, she sent me directly to the ER. 
After examination and x-rays, the ER doctor told me that I have sciatica of the right hip which is causing spasms down the leg. That is why my leg and knee and lower back hurt.
This condition is very, very painful! 
He gave me prescriptions of pain medications and a muscle relaxer.  I was told no work this week and NO driving, which is understandable.  The medication knocks me out so I will be sleeping quite a bit. I do hope it helps this sciatica and the pain goes away! 
Any prayers for healing would be so greatly appreciated!

  5. I'm glad you finally made it to a doctor and got a diagnosis, though you'd already figured out that part yourself. :) I hope you feel better soon.

  9. I just read your blog about your trip to ER, etc. I will add you to my prayer basket tonight. Let us pray now -- Father God, surround Rose with healing purple light and ease the pain that she is experiencing. You always hear our prayers, and we are never alone. Amen. Blessings and Good Night, I will check with you in a few days to see how you are feeling. Marilyn T

  10. Please, dear one, do exactly as the doctor said. Sciatica is one thing our family has a long history with, and if there were anything I could say to relieve your pain it would be to not stay in any one position too long during your waking hours. Keep warm, and if it gets a little humid/damp then wrap a sweater around your backside and tie the arms in front while you're on your feet. Start out s-l-o-w when first beginning to move to do anything...sort of like 'testing the waters', so to speak. Just be easy with yourself and patient with the Powers That Be, whatever you believe them to be,...;) Here, this may help too --
    Grant us the Serenity to accept the things we cannot change;
    The Courage to change the things we can;
    And the Wisdom to know the difference.
    Amen

  15. Rose, I am so sorry for our sciatica. I've had it too and what made me better was a course of prednisone. Praying for your recovery.

  16. Rose I feel for you for I know how that pain can be debilitating and can keep you off work a great deal of time. I highly recommend Dr Bowles. He is at 1136 Mollal ave. He has a decompression table that works wonders. It kept me from having neck surgery if you remember. His number is 5036503737. Tell him Sherri Weinz sent you. He will help I promise. High hopes and prayers. Thank you for the wonderful letter too. Miss you

  17. Rose be careful with this, I'm so sorry that this is happening to you, and will keep you in my prayers. I can totally sympathize, since I am recovering from 7 months of debilitating pain from a herniated disk, and the subsequent operation to fix it. That sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body and when you tweak it the wrong way you pay for ages afterwards.Ouch, big big ouch.

  22. Rose I'm praying that God will heal you completely! Also you may want to look into essential oils for your condition once you finish all meds so that it won't flare back up. Take care. Diane
