Another prayer request

Hey guys,
While you're praying, could you also pray for Joyce? She's been suffering from sciatica since her delivery(10+ months!!). It waxes and wanes, but is always present. She's scared it won't ever go away, and lately it's been flaring up. She's seen multiple neurologists, physical therapists, and chiropractors with little improvement.
Thanks.

Hey Brian- isn't it amazing just how many "side effects" there are from pregnancy? Despite being in health care, I find that I was really clueless about the many potential after effects. I'm really sorry to hear about your wife's sciatica, I had a tiny bit of back pain during my pregnancy and just that little bit was really terrible! I really hope it gets better soon.....

Hey Brian! I'm sorry to hear about Joy's sciatica. I had bad sciatica too, and went through all the usual routes to try to rid myself. I would personally go to a good acupuncturist. That's the thing that really helped me! Seriously. Also, find a reliable massage therapist, pref. who specializes in sports massage. :-) Pregnancy...ain't it grand.

I'm so sorry that Joyce's sciatica hasn't gotten better yet. It must be like a thorn in her side. It sounds like Betty had some good suggestions though from personal experience. All of this reminds me that I should NOT have another baby, even though the cuteness of a 9month old makes me wish I could have another.

I will keep Joyce in prayer.

Hey everyone,
I'm mildly shocked that people are still checking the blog. Thanks to all of you for the encouraging words and prayers. Joyce reads the blog along with me and she's warmed by your thoughts. :)
