I've been having some problems with my neck, lower back, and knees all thanks to an incident involving the use of weight machines a year ago. I was a stupid child who desperately wanted to hear praises from my PE coach by impressing him with becoming stronger and more athletic since I was obsessed with attention back then. I really regret it now as I've been having pain symptoms over a year and couldn't see a doctor due to major setbacks(mostly with health insurance). About 4 weeks ago, I started seeing a chiropractor and I know healing generally takes time, I just wonder if it really is in God's will for me to be healed. It sure doesn't feel like it. If He wanted me healed, I feel like He would've done so already. This probably sounds silly and I'm being a such big baby about this, but I'm honestly frustrated and tired of this. If God is wanting to instill patience and trust in Him or work on some other heart issue within me, this sure is a torturous way of doing this....If you're still reading this, would you please pray for me? I'd appreciate that a lot.

we mostly always reap what we sow, and as you state in your Post, you went way over-board
in vanity trying to impress your coach...most of us here have done the same many times over
in some way or another, the KEY, is to 'learn-from-such-needless-mistakes and grow...
you sound very mature in another way though, at your young age you have acknowledged your
mistake and are actually looking at how to improve...

it always takes a while for a chiro to 'un-do' what we have done to ourselves...
hope and pray that you can find one that loves The Lord to help you...GBY

If your parents bought you a brand new car and you got drunk and wrecked would you go to your parents and demand they fix it for you?

Why do you show more respect for your earthly parents then you do to God?

One day God will give you a new resurrected body, but if he doesn't fix this current one, would you still praise him?

Hi ChristCentered Girl,

Welcome to CC. I'm truly sorry to hear about your pain. I wouldn't wish a painful lifestyle on anyone, but having said that, I think because I've dealt with so much suffering, it's brought me very close to my Loving Savior and Lord.

I too was in sports in high school. I did field hockey, basketball, track and field and others. I didn't do it because of vanity, but because I was a tomboy. I loved sports. :)

At age 25, married with 2 children and a bad marriage is when I came to know the Lord and was born-again. Almost immediately afterwards, I think it was 3 months later I had my gall bladder out and then almost immediately after that, I began having pain all over my body, but especially my legs and neck area. After many doctors and a diagnosis I had lupus, years later they finally diagnosed me having Fibromyalgia. All the pills, tests, doctors etc wasn't a pleasant experience.

Later I ended up with Grave's Disease. It's an auto-immune disease that attacks the thyroid. The doctor had me take a radio active pill to kill my thyroid and have to take synthroid for the rest of my life.

I've had other medical issues including suffering with osteoarthritis. I live with headaches everyday as well. Sometimes life is so difficult.

Many, many times I'd go up to the front of the church for prayer, I'd be anointed with oil, I'd try home remedies, supplements, diet, chiropractors, etc. I will say that after I changed my diet about 10 years ago, I have some relief.

There are many stories that you can probably find here that are much worse than what mine is, but the answer is the same. Jesus is the answer. Our relationship with God is what's most important.

What I would suggest is to continue seeking help for your medical issues. You didn't mention going to a primary care physician. Did you see one about a year ago when you had the issue with the weight machines? Usually they will do some tests and recommend physical therapy. It's amazing how PT can help and does help many.

As you're waiting on the Lord, I'd recommend that you put all your faith and trust in Him. Love Him with all your heart no matter the outcome. Read His word and study it. It truly is your lifeline.

It may seem torturous to you right now, pain is never fun, but the treasure it can bring to your heart is priceless. I'll be praying for you and hope that God will heal you.

I'd like to hear how your doing along the way, so if you want to keep posting here, I'd love to know if you're still needing prayer, if you've gotten help and if your pain goes away!. :)

If you have a close Christian family member or friend, maybe you could share your struggles with them and they can help you through this day to day with prayer and encouragement.

Gentle cyber hugs!

I was never good at sports or anything. I'm the type that can't do anything by myself(I'm not handicapped), I'm just helpless and have impaired logic and rationality. I'm so hasty and allow my feelings to rule over me. I really try not to and I take it to the Lord every day, but I'm just human. I remember hearing my PE coach praising me in basketball, kickball, and football and it felt so good to hear his compliments. So then, my vanity grew and all I wanted was to keep hearing praises which resulted in letting my vanity+stupidity take over and thus I messed up my body. Even though I try to praise God and thank Him for using my trial that I caused to refine and shape my character to be more Christ like, my feelings will kick in and I start being a big baby. God still has MUCH work needed to be done in me as I'm just so stupid and ugh incredible and difficult. You're right though, I do need to keep seeking and following Jesus and turn my whining into praises. Thank you guys so much for the prayers, encouragement, and reminder. It truly means a lot, more than you will ever know! And I'll definitely give updates on my recovery!

Update: It would seem as if God does not want me to be healed. Health Insurance dropped me and so I'm without health care for now, and even when I reenroll to another plan or something, the costs will be too expensive out of pocket and they don't cover physical therapy or chiropractor. Well, this is what I get for acting out of vanity+stupidity. SO in the meantime, I guess praying for healing is out of the question? I honestly don't know if I should continue praying for healing. I'll continue to pray that I'll praise Him in the midst of this manmade trial and be patient. I know I will be healed in heaven, that's for sure.

If you have some disposable income buy systemic enzymes. And Dotterra or young living essential oils that address your issues. Info on which ones of them to purchase for your pain is on the internet.
Start eating less processed foods, assuming you do. Eat less animal food, assuming you do. Eat more fruits and steamed veggies. Eat less protein and grains, especially grains with gluten. Steam your veggies, and try to eat a diet that is no less then 50% raw uncooked foods, like fruits, sprouts, and nuts.
I am willing to bet that if you keep to that, in about about 3 to 4 weeks you will start to see a difference. How much, I can't say, but I am fairly sure it will be noticeably less pain.
Can you afford acupuncture? Did you try it? Any results?
What about a Hyperbaric chamber? The enriched oxygen and elevated atmospheric pressure will help you.
Last, have you tried a infra red sauna?
You don't have to live with this. Stay strong. Many are praying for you.
I will pray for you.
