I have come here often in the last 5 years to ask for prayers for my son, Dan. Dan has had constant chronic pain from 4 back surgeries for those 5 years. Dan is only 43 and this has been his life since he was only 38. He can no longer do the things that made him feel as though he were accomplishing taking care of his home and wife and he STILL works FULL TIME swing shift at a very physically demanding job.

Dan is now also suffering from PTSD with all the trauma from the surgeries ... his pain on most days is a 7 or higher and on good days a 5 or 6. He does not want to live like this for long. He is so depressed. He has always done for anyone that needed help and he feels so alone as no one sees the pain and when he mentions it they tell him it is all in his attitude and head.

The doctors are trying to push this off on each other and as far as pain management, they are wanting to put in a spinal cord stimulator and Dan is still a young man.

I see so many with issues like this but they are older and do not have to work full time and try to balance doctors and work and home life. Dan is soooo depressed and I am so worried that if the pain does not soon stop, he will do something drastic as he has told me that he does not want to go on disability and become a burden to society.

I thank anyone willing to pray for Dan. I have been doing prayers, masses, rosaries, chaplets for the last 5 years and I am still of the belief that God will heal. My son thinks he is being punished or that God does not care about him.

Thank you and I pray each evening for all in pain, suffering, with disease, addiction, depression especially for the young and the children.

Please if I may ask for prayers for my son. My son is only 43 and has been in constant chronic pain for almost 5 years. He works full time swing shift on a very physical job. He has also been diagnosed with PTSD. He is losing all hope for the return of any quality of life. He just wants his life to be over as he does not wish to live 40 or more years in this pain. I have looked into a procedure called PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections. His wife is being affected badly also. Please pray that the Lord hear me after all my daily, hourly prayers of the last five years and guide my son to help. I believe that God will heal and strengthen him in body, mind and soul, but I am afraid of his depression. He went to church faithfully for 3 of the almost 5 years, but felt that God is somehow punishing him... he is a good person who always helped others and I am at a loss as to why he is kept suffering for so long.

I thank anyone willing to pray along with me for my son. May the Lord keep you healthy and safe.

Please pray not for me, but for my son. For 5 years he has been suffering with constant extreme back pain & 4 surgeries. He is only 43 and working full time swing shift and this week he contracted a severe sinus infection. He has also been diagnosed with PTSD and just wants his life to be over as he feels he will never regain any quality of life back. Please if you would ask God to reach down in mercy and compassion and heal and strengthen him in body, mind and soul. May God always hold you safe and healthy.

This was my message from God today. I started off the morning with some of my own pain, but it is nothing compared to my son's. This was my message from God...

Today, Carol, God wants you to know that letting go makes you wealthier.
Wealth is never measured by what you have, but by what you can give away. You are rich with money when you can afford to donate. You are rich with love when you can give love freely. You are rich with God when you can behold your enemy with compassion.

I have never for one moment doubted God in my life. Too many bad things that He got me through to deny His existence and spirit in my journey.

But here is my pondering... today started with a call from my son. My son, Dan is only 43 and works full time swing shift on a very physically demanding job. Five years ago, he had his first back operation and it was done because the surgeons (and there were many who said the same thing) told him he needed it to correct his injury. The first operation was done by a surgeon who had more pride in himself than he had experience and skill and he did my son an injustice by taking too much of his bone... the 2nd surgeon who was only going in to fix it made it worse and the came the fusion by a neurologist. And the fourth one was done in the supposedly best hospital in American HSS in NYC by a highly experienced and recommended neurologist.

My son still has constant chronic pain and this is for the last 5 years of his life (since he was 38) ... young, young, young to be having to live this life of pain. He has been to chiropractors, massage therapists, pain management doctors and once the damage is done by all the human doctors... they simply try to sweep you under the rug by saying it is all in your head or because of your negativity.

My son has also been diagnosed with PTSD because of all this trauma. He feels as he is a burden to his wife, me, and can no longer bear the constant pain so he wants to die. He went to church all the first 3 operations and then could no longer stand to sit in the pews... and to be honest, his faith is wavering because he cannot understand why God cannot just take his pain level from the 9 on the pain scale to a 3 or below so that he can have some quality of life. All his life my son served God by being an altar boy and helping every one he could... I am not claiming him to be a saint, but he has never done anything harmful to anyone but himself and never did drugs or anything illegal.. So he asks me all the time why God doesn't love him ... he wants to find a doctor who will end his suffering and donate all his organs.

Please, if anyone can pray for my son or know of anything he can do (doctors, etc.) who may be able to help, I would be so appreciative ... I have prayed morning, evening, all the day long with chores... and I am feeling defeated also.

Thank you for the prayers, assistance and just for listening. I hope God has the time to listen and help.

Please, forgive me for once again coming toPle ask for prayers, but I don't know where else to turn and I do believe in the power of prayers, so please pray for my son, Daniel. Daniel has had 3 MAJOR back surgeries in the last 2 years. He is still in constant extreme pain and deep depression as he feels like he is a burden to all those he loves and wants his life to be at an end. I try to keep him believing that the prayers on his behalf will soon be answered, but quiet honestly, he thinks he has done something that makes God feel as though he is not good enough to be free of pain. He feels as though he is a burden to his wife and blames himself for having the surgery. Please pray for the depression to dry up and the anger at himself. Please ask Jesus to reach down his healing hand and place it on my sons back and heal all his bones, muscles, tends and strengthen them and take away every ounce of scar tissue and bone overgrowth and cauterize and seal his annular tear so no more inflammatory fluid can flare up the nerves and cause his such pain in his back, legs and feet. I know that this will most likely require a miracle but I know that by His death on te cross Jesus promised that to us and I am claiming such for Dan. Please pray along with me and I will ask that God and all his Heaven keep each of you safe and blessed. Thank you so much.

Yes, here I am once again. You know, there is no way I will ever give up coming and pleaing for prayers from others who are compassionate and caring about other Christian's health and quality of life.

Please pray along with me for my son Daniel....

I ask as I have for the last 2 years that you please reach down in love, compassion and mercy and heal my son's back and leg. Take away all of his pain that he is in physically, emotionally, financially because of his 3 back surgeries. He is angry at himself for believing the neurosurgeons cared about his physical well being and not just the money they would get for the surgeries. Worse yet, when he tried to tell them he is still in pain, they dismissed it as his being overly sensitive, I thank you for helping him with some of the things that were plaguing him after the surgeries when he could not do the physical work he is used to and for allowing me to pray to you each morning and night for the last 2 years. Please, Jesus, he is at the end of his rope and I am frightened for him. Reach down, touch his back and heal him, please. Amen.

Please pray for my son, Dan, for me. Ask the Lord and His Divine Healing Son, Jesus, to have mercy, compassion and love for Dan. Please ask Jesus to touch my son and bind his anger at himself for having the back surgeries that he feels the doctors urged him to have just for the income to them. He is now, after 3 surgeries and 2 years of extreme pain in worse pain than he was to begin. He is angry he listened and had the surgeries. Ask Jesus to lift him out of the deep depression and pain; to heal his bones, his muscles, his tendons and stop the impingement on his nerves in his back and leg to take away all the scar tissue and excess bone growth and cauterize and heal his annular tear. Dan works swing shift at a public utility and has for 19 years. He is afraid of losing everything he worked for for the last 24 years (Dan is only 41 and married to the love of his life) . Please ask God to heal him as 2 years of this pain is more than manageable by any human. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your caring, compassion and prayers for Dan's healing and lifting of his burdens.

Yes, thank you Jesus and the Heavenly Father, for all you have done to bring us this far, but as I have for the past two years, I am asking you to please help my son, Dan. Dan has been through so much the past 2 years. 3 back surgeries and still in extreme pain. His nerves are inflamed and they are constantly giving him stabbing pains in his back, hip and legs. I believe only you, Jesus, can reach down in mercy and compassion and touch my son's back and heal all that is wrong. If there is, indeed, the annular tear, please heal it.. if there is scar tissue or bone overgrowth because of the use of the BMP please remove it. You are the Divine Healing Physician of the Universe. If you heal all of this, his pain will subside and he will be once again healthy in body, mind and soul and will regain his quality of life. I know that you died for us and by your stripes you gave us the salvation and healing we need. Thank you for allowing me to come to you with my requests and for your compassion and healing of my son. Amen.

Heavenly Father, Jesus .. I thank you both for your patience with me and my prayers of the last two years. I ask you to please continue to allow me to pray for my son, Daniel. Please Father, send your Divine Healing Universal Physician to heal my son's back from the wrongs that the surgeons have done to him. My son trusted those in the medical field to help him with his pain, and they hurt him worse than what he had. Please Jesus, in mercy and compassion do what no earthly surgeon can touch my son's back and fix any annular tear, remove the bone overgrowth from the BMP they used incorrectly and dissolve the scar tissue that is impinging on his nerve and causing him so much pain. Please do not give up on Dan.. he is a great young man who is in such pain ... not only in body, but mind and soul. i thank you for allowing me to come to you and for your healing of my son. Amen.

i am asking all prayer warriors to please join me in my continuing prayers for healing of my son's back,mind, and spirit.... thank you.

Yes, God, it is me yet again. I know you must be tired of my constant sounds and pleas to you, but this is a situation that means so much to me. My prayers are not for me, nor are they for money, for love, for fame, for material possessions, but rather to ask you to please send your Divine Healing Physician of the Universe son, Jesus, to touch your earthly son, and Jesus' brother, Daniel's back. Daniel has been in extreme pain for the last 2 years and through three surgeries which each neurosurgeon promised to help him regain a quality of life, (as he is only 41 and has worked for everything he has since he was 17) that is far from what they did to him. Please ask your son, Jesus, to touch my son Daniel, and because I know He is the only one that can do the healing, to please heal any wrong that was done to my son's back, to repair the annular tear if there is one, to remove the scar tissue and bone that is impinging on his nerve and take away his physical, mental and spiritual pain. I KNOW THAT ONLY JESUS IS CAPABLE OF THIS. It does not have to be all at once but slowly and continually until the pain is manageable. Please restore my son's trust in the fact that you love him. Thank you. Amen
