Cauda Equina is one of the most litigious areas in emergency medical practice, as if it's missed, it can have devastating effects for patients. Cauda Equina (CES) was mentioned in a recent update to JRCALC as a condition with specific prehospital actions that all paramedics in the UK must be aware of. So we thought it would be a good opportunity to do some revision. Want a slightly more in-depth dive into lower back pain?

Lower back pain is a really common cause for patients to present to primary care, urgent care and emergency care. Thankfully many of these cases are self limiting, but somewhere in the region of 1:300 patients with back pain in the ED will have Cauda Equina Syndrome. Cauda Equina Syndrome is something that is challenging for all clinicians because many patients with simple lower back pain may have many similar symptoms,  but if we miss it, or if there is a delay to surgery that can lead to potentially avoidable long-term disability for our patients and on top of that its a major cause of healthcare litigation. And we're not talking about a delay in weeks being a problem here, we're talking about hours to days, with big  potential complications like impaired bowel/bladder/sexual dysfunction or lower limb paralysis - so you can see why litigation is a big part of some missed cases. In this episode we run through the the signs, symptoms, investigations and treatment with a strong reference back to the underlying anatomy and disruption. We also cover the recently published national Cauda Equina Pathway, which is a great resource but poses some real challenges in it's implementation! Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon, Rob & James

Disclaimer: This podcast and anything mentioned in it is not medical advice or education, rather thought-provoking entertainment for healthcare clinicians. In this episode, Drs Seth Peterson and Jess Klain help me dive into one of Seth's case reports on a patient with "grumbling" cauda equina syndrome that was managed conservatively. We discuss the spectrum of CES and compare management strategies. Seth's Case Report: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zOfbgWMW8q5Oqz9hPfIQnkHVeZEgglkt/view?usp=sharing Other paper mentioned: "SHADES of grey – The challenge of ‘grumbling' cauda equina symptoms in older adults with lumbar spinal stenosis" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468781219302620?via%3Dihub

Are you ready to have your perspective on chronic pain management radically transformed? Brace yourself as we embark on a journey exploring the intricate terrain of chronic pain with our distinguished guest, Dr. Sandra Jim. We scrutinize the distressing opioid crisis and its ties to the current fentanyl and heroin upheaval, shedding light on the precarious position doctors often find themselves in, distinguishing between genuine pain sufferers and medication addicts. As we traverse deeper into the subject, expect revelations about emerging changes in pain management, notably the shift from opioid dependency towards more comprehensive approaches like physical therapy.With an impressive wealth of knowledge, Dr. Jim unfolds specific strategies for managing back pain and rehabilitation, particularly for those afflicted by lower back pain due to disc injuries. As we venture together in understanding the notorious sciatica pain and its subtypes, you'll gain insightful tips on alleviating the discomfort through identifying and maintaining a neutral posture. In our concluding segment, we explore the subject of disc herniation and its impact on exercises. Ever wondered why certain exercises might exacerbate the condition instead of relieving it? Dr. Jim breaks down why hamstring stretches, sit-ups, curls, and squats with a 'butt wink,' might pose more harm than good for individuals with disc herniation. We also shed light on Cauda Equina Syndrome, a severe condition that necessitates immediate attention and careful consideration when deciding on surgical interventions. This episode promises to equip you with essential knowledge on optimal postures, motions, loads, and exercises for healing injuries and maintaining a healthy spine.Health For Fitness PodcastSimplifying complex health and fitness concepts for people that are too busy for fluff.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify X-Health.show - meet the future of healthcareThe X-Health.show brings to you brilliant minds behind programming living cells,...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Cauda Equina is a condition many have heard of or been warned about it but what is it and what are the symptoms you need to look out for? In this informative episode, Rob Tyer physiotherapist talks about everything cauda equina and explains what it is, the symptoms to be aware of and why if you have cauda equina treatment is time sensitive. He also shares the types of questions you will be asked and how the answers will help professionals to decide on the right treatment pathway.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It's a collection of syndromes in and around the function of the bowel, the bladder, skin between the legs, sexual function and pain around the back. You can have symptoms of cauda equina or radiographic cauda equina, in order to have cauda equine syndrome  you have to have a combination of the two The symptoms are very varied but can be any changes in the function to the bladder usually in conjunction with changes in bowel movement. Numbness between the legs can also be a symptom along with sexual dysfunction. If you have symptoms you need to seek emergency care. You will need to provide a history and there will be an examination and possibly a scan. If you have cauda equine syndrome surgery is usually offered because of the time sensitivity. There is no treatment that can be done non surgically to take the pressure off of the nerve. Surgery is the only way to relieve the pressure.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Back pain and a change in bladder function doesn't mean you have cauda equina' ‘Try not to be embarrassed about the symptoms'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link https://clairepatella.com

Dr. Nevada Gray shares her story of recovering her health after suffering paralysis, incontinence, and more from Cauda Equina Syndrome. For complete show notes, visit http://youcuredwhat.com/podcast/nevadaDr. Nevada Gray, the Paleo Pharmacist, suffered a horrible back injury in 2016. She was diagnosed with a rare condition named Cauda Equina Syndrome. She initially did not know if she would ever be able to walk again. In the years since, she has transformed her health and her life. Now, she is not only mobile, but she is thriving. With a spirit full of positivity, she shares her journey online and is helping many others. She is sharing her story of healing in this podcast episode. [0:50] Joe plugs his DiseaseReversals.com project. [1:50] Joe introduces Nevada. [2:50] Nevada details her health background. Several years ago, Nevada had started suffering from back pain. It started getting worse and worse, until eventually one day she couldn't even walk to her car after work; she needed a motorized cart. The next morning she woke up paralyzed from the waist down, in excruciating pain, incontinent, and with a lack of reflexes. She had to get to a high-level medical center. [5:40] The E.R. physician recognized there was something wrong with the lower part of her spinal cord (horse tail, the cauda equina). Nevada needed emergency surgery. [7:00] The emergency surgery was critical. It took place about 36-38 hours after acute symptom onset. [9:00] After waking up from surgery, what was going through Nevada's mind? She is very grateful for her neurosurgeon's words (the first she heard upon waking up after surgery): "I believe you can have a full recovery." (This reminds me of Brandon LaGreca's episode of You Cured What?!, where he discusses that it's important to avoid medical hexing.) [10:00] Nevada stayed in the hospital for a week after surgery. Her bowel and bladder function came back, but she did have residual numbness. She had physical therapy after that and had lots of support from family and friends. [11:30] Even though her surgeon told her not to Google her condition... Nevada Googled it! It was discouraging. But a friend encouraged her to find success stories online, and she came across Shawn Stevenson who had overcome a (different) back condition via nutrition and fitness. [13:00] Stevenson had come up with his own protocol, and Nevada decided to research her own protocol for her rare condition (Cauda Equina Syndrome). She found out about the neuroprotective potential of the ketogenic diet and found some rodent studies showing that a ketogenic diet may be beneficial for spinal injury. [13:55] Nevada found The Ketogenic Girl Vanessa Spina online and she helped Nevada adopt a well-formulated ketogenic diet. [14:30] She found Dr. Stuart McGill and his functional back training programs. She trained gradually: she made progressions from wheelchair to walker to cane. [15:35] She found the work of Dr. Joe Dispensa, who also healed from a back injury. He emphasizes techniques involving mindset and visualization. [16:30] Nevada created a vision board of what she wanted to accomplish. [17:45] In what timeframe did Nevada start noticing benefits from her multifaceted healing approach? [19:20] Nevada considered herself recovered after one year, and her foot drop resolved at about a year and a half. [20:35] Nevada had muscle spasms in her legs. She had to take Valium for the pain. It felt like she had an alien in her leg. She also tried foam rolling to deal with it. [21:40] "I wanted to just be able to feel like I was in control of my mind." [22:00] As of recording, Nevada is about five years out from her back injury. [22:40] What did Nevada put on her vision board? She wanted to return to work, to go to the gym, and she wanted to run in a 5K on Thanksgiving Day after her surgery. The 5K was an ambitious goal, but she completed it! [23:55] "It was something I felt like I had to do to prove to myself that I could do this and I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. So I was able to do that." [24:05] Nevada discusses the benefits she felt from guided meditation. It helped (and helps) focus and calm her mind. [25:10] Nevada did a lot of grounding, walking on the beach, feeling the earth beneath her feet. (She actually face-planted one of the first times she went to the beach after surgery!) [26:10] Nevada recommends guided meditations from Joe Dispensa and Michael Sealey. [26:45] How did Nevada's diet evolve over time? [27:30] Nevada struggled with asthma and allergies most of her life. And to avoid acute allergic reactions, she gravitated towards processed foods. [28:45] Nevada was diagnosed with PCOS in her early twenties. She now attributes that to the diet she ate. Her weight got up to about 220 pounds (at five-foot-four) upon graduation from pharmacy school. Then she learned about Robb Wolf and the Paleo diet because she heard it could help with allergies. [29:45] Between Paleo and getting a personal trainer, Nevada lost fifty pounds. [30:25] After her injury and adopting a ketogenic diet, she initially cycled through versions of the ketogenic diet as laid out by the Charlie Foundation. [31:00] Nevada found Maria Emmerich and Craig Emmerich and their book Keto Nevada started eating a more protein-focused ketogenic diet. She also learned about the PKD. She went to a Zero Carb diet, and she saw major positive results from this. Her PCOS resolved! [34:00] How have Nevada's allergies responded to her dietary changes? [35:30] Dr. Ted Naiman's P:E Ratio diet (Protein-to-energy ratio) is working very well for Nevada right now. [37:35] How have Nevada's friends and family responded to her transformation? [38:30] Nevada's mom has followed Nevada's lead. She adopted a Zero Carb, protein-prioritizing diet, and she lifts weights. She has followed that approach for 3 years (age 70 as of recording); she has lost 40 pounds, she has come off all medications, and she has started to reverse her osteoporosis! [39:25] A lot of Nevada's friends have adopted low carb diets. [40:30] What were some of the challenges on Nevada's journey to health? [42:25] A local pub actually named a meal after Nevada and put it on the menu: "The Nevada Carnivore Dinner" [44:45] Does Nevada consider herself cured of cauda equina? [47:00] Does Nevada have full feeling back throughout her lower body? [49:15] Now that she has improved her health, what is one thing Nevada enjoys doing that she couldn't do before? [51:40] Where can Nevada be found online? She can be found on Instagram, Twitter, and her blog. She is donating proceeds from affiliate links to a study being conducted by Dr. Chris Palmer. [53:30] Does Nevada have any message for anyone else who is suffering from cauda equina or any other rare diagnosis? [54:40] Nevada references her friend Tim Angelone, who walked across Europe after suffering from cauda equina; hear his story on a podcast with Nevada and Chris Donohue here. [55:20] Nevada emphasizes the importance of human connection.

Long time no... talk?  Haven't been on in a while, but glad to be back doing a few scattered episodes here and there. I explain in the show why I haven't been on much lately, but let's just get to the good stuff, shall we? In this week's episode, I talk about Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES).

Musician, Actor, Hostess, Designer and NYC Drag Star (not to mention really bad cook) - Viva Vidalia graces The Junk and Jam Hour with a call-in interview and divulges about the many challenges and rewards that accompany such a unique path to becoming one of NYC's most sought after, premiere drag queen talents.  She opens up about her upbringing in the racially segregated Long Island; being afforded the opportunity to study and become a classically trained vocal performer and musician – impressively learning how to play 12 different instruments (we take a guess as to which ones); and finding the humor in the rather unequivocal differences between her and her twin brother. (While they're both still strapping young lads, for this particular interview, the pronouns have respectfully been defaulted to match Viva's stage name and persona.) Viva also discloses how she was first bitten by the Draq Queen bug, and the incredibly tenacious work and time it has so far taken her to find and craft her very own voice, unique style and image as a Drag Queen performer - holding steadfast to her mantra that, "...You have to find your ugly before you find you're beautiful."  Viva talks lovingly about her dear friend and Drag Race designer Florence D'lee, now recovering from a recent hospitalization for Cauda Equina Syndrome - a serious condition that can lead to paralysis - and how their bond over the magic of designing beautiful garments for live, local drag showcases, is one of the ways they continually showcase their dedication to one another. Ever the artist - Viva gushes about her other upcoming endeavor - officially recording her own original, country music EP.

Sometimes people stumble upon the ideal diet and weight management program because they were trying to cure another health issue that was front and center in their lives. This experience then transforms that individual to such a degree that they are compelled to share their journey to help others. Nevada Gray, the Paleo Pharmacist, is an example of such a person. She joins the show to share how she adopted the ketogenic lifestyle after suffering and recovered from a partial spinal cord injury called Cauda Equina Syndrome.

Laura Finucane (laura.finucane@nhs.net, Twitter, ResearchGate) of the National Health Service (United Kingdom) is interviewed by Kevin L. MacPherson regarding a publication from Musculoskeletal Science and Practice titled, “What is the diagnostic accuracy of red flags related to cauda equina syndrome (CES), when compared to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)? A systematic review.” This episode contains information that should be interesting for musculoskeletal providers interested in spinal pain, red flags, primary care roles, and medical screening. Please note that an error was made during the episode when referring to pregablin, a medication that is known to cause urinary frequency and incontinence, not urinary retention. Find out more about the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists at the following links:Academy website: www.aaompt.orgTwitter: @AAOMPTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/aaompt/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialaaompt/?hl=enPodcast e-mail: aaomptpodcast@gmail.comPodcast website: https://aaomptpodcast.simplecast.fm

Dr. Nevada Gray recovered from a rare condition known as Cauda Equina Syndrome and lost over 90 lbs on her health journey. On this episode we discuss how Nevada found Vanessa and the 28 Day Ketogenic Girl Challenge program and the ketogenic diet in her recovery from Cauda Equina Syndrome, her incredible weight loss and full recovery, as well as many topics that she has uncovered in her recovery including oxalates, iron levels and doing a ketogenic carnivore diet for the past 18 months. Nevada is a pharmacist and registered nurse with 20 years experience helping patients navigate the healthcare system and empower themselves back to health with fitness and nutrition. After suffering a rare partial spinal cord injury in 2016 called cauda equina syndrome and plagued by PCOS, Nevada researched and empowered herself to a full recovery outside of the healthcare system utilizing the ketogenic diet. She also became a NASM certified personal trainer during her 2 year recovery, with a special interest in functional training. For the past 18 months Nevada has followed a strict carnivore diet and has become an emerging leader in the functional medicine movement, helping others achieve the results they desire, whether it be weight loss, improvement in health markers or mindset. She can be found on her popular Instagram account @thepaleopharmacist, www.thepaleopharmacist.com  She is also a co-host on her own Podcast Mind Body BREAKTHROUGHS with CarnivoreKeto Coach Chris Donahue.

Author: Erik Verzemnieks, MD Educational Pearls: Cauda equina syndrome is caused by the compression of the nerve roots that extend beyond the termination of the spinal cord Trauma, infection, hematoma, disc rupture/herniation can cause this - basically anything that can cause pressure and fill space Symptoms can include saddle anesthesia, lower extremity pain, numbness, incontinence, and constipation Post-void residual that is abnormally high may be an indicator MRI is diagnostic modality of choice Emergent surgical decompression is treatment References Jalloh I, Minhas P. Delays in the treatment of cauda equina syndrome due to its variable clinical features in patients presenting to the emergency department. Emerg Med J. 2007 Jan;24(1):33-4. doi: 10.1136/emj.2006.038182. PubMed PMID: 17183040; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC2658150.

Cauda Equina Syndrome is a big deal. Its a big deal for anyone unfortunate enough to develop it. Its a big deal for Health Care Professionals who have to recognise it and manage people appropriately when it is suspected. It is a true medical emergency and litagation is a very real possibility if it is missed! Lucky for us Chris Mercer walks us through all aspects of this tricky syndrome, from anatomy to legality, what we know and what we dont. This is absolutely essential listening for any health care professional who sees patients.

Martin Brown spent almost ten years as one of the best powerlifters in the country. He has totalled 1000kg and squatted 410kg multi-ply, and squatted 342.5kg raw w/wraps, all in the 100kg class. Martin has been through quite severe bouts of depression and is an advocate for mental health charities. And more recently, he suffered a life-changing spinal injury which left him temporarily paralysed from the waist down, living with a condition called Cauda Equina Syndrome thereafter. As well as powerlifting, we cover both of these topics on the podcast.

When aging parents need care, the way they've lived their lives up to that point often factors into whether their adult children are willing to help them. In today's episode we hear from a daughter who felt duty-bound to help her parents even though her sister refused to get involved. She explains why she became her parents' primary caregiver, and why—despite paying a steep personal price—she views her caregiving journey as the most rewarding experience of her life. She tells us how the Manhattan co-op meant for her niece and nephew became hers out of necessity, and about how her mother's life-threatening spinal stenosis, later diagnosed as cauda equina syndrome, led the family to spend $20,000/month for caregivers and resulted in her mother becoming eligible for Medicaid. The caregiver in this conversation has chosen to remain anonymous. Note: this episode originally aired May 1, 2016. We have an update at the end of the show.

As diplomatic relations between the UK and Russia get worse, Reverend Malcolm Rogers the chaplain at St Andrew's Anglican Church in the centre of Moscow, which has long been a community hub for British ex-pats in the Russian capital, speaks to us about his hopes and fears for the future. The Rwandan government has ordered 1500 Churches to be shut for not complying with building regulations and causing noise pollution. The government has also closed some Mosques and banned loudspeakers during the Muslim calls to prayer. Michael Kaloki from the BBC's East Africa Bureau gives an update on what's been happening there BBC School Reporters interview leading religious figures including the Bishop of Manchester, Rabbi Daniel Walker and Tahiri Shafi and Kay Baig from the organisation Greater Manchester Muslim Community After a ten year long investigation involving over three hundred doctors, the Roman Catholic Church has recognized the first miraculous cure since 2013 following a pilgrimage to Lourdes. In 2008, a French Franciscan nun called Sister Bernadette Moriau visited the shrine where the Virgin Mary appeared to a young shepherdess in the mid-19th Century. Moriau had Cauda Equina Syndrome and was partially paralysed. She visited Lourdes in a wheelchair but immediately after returning home, she underwent a sudden, full, lasting and medically-inexplicable recovery. In other words - a miracle. Our Paris correspondent John Laurenson has been to visit her at her nunnery in the northern town of Beauvais... Matthew Champion tells William Crawley what medieval graffiti tell us about life during the time of the Black death in Winchester. Trevor Barnes reports on the challenges that face faith schools ahead of legislation that makes it mandatory for all schools to teach Relationship and Sex Education. Professor Ted Cantle of the Community Cohesion Foundation and Miqdaad Versi of the Muslim Council of Britain discuss whether the focus and scope of the Government's Green Paper on integration, published this week, goes far enough in tackling what the report describes as "a worrying number of communities, divided along race, faith or socio-economic lines".

Also, there are severities ranging from moderate to extreme … and some, life threatening. Many people suffer for years with a condition that could have been taken care of in a short time … and some, instantly. God is the Healer and the Creator – and by virtue of this fact – He knows exactly what you need. There is nothing wrong with going to physicians or seeking medical help or advice.   But what we should do is seek the LORD first to see what He wants us to do. He may want to heal us by His sovereign power, over a period of time, or instantaneously. _____________________________________________________________  HEALING FROM BACKPAIN~ A MIRACLE PODCAST PRODUCTION ~ MUSIC / INTRO There are many types, as well as causes of, back pain. There is neck pain, upper back pain, mid and lower back pain, and then the sacrum related coditions at the base of the spine. You have probably heard someone complain of sciatica which is caused by irritation ot the nerve roots that lead to the sciatic nerve coming out of the spinal cord in the lower back. A bulging or ruptured disc is usually the primary culprit is such a condition. However, there can be other conditions involved. Arthritis can cause bone spurs which can cause or exacerbate sciatica. Also, an injury can cause compression of the nerve roots. There are several other causes for sciatica, and the source of the irritation will usually dictate the treatment prescribed: physical therapy, medicine and sometimes surgery. Be very careful of exercise regimen with any type of back condtion, especially spinal related, as you could be aggravating the situation. Always check with your medical professional concerning any type of workouts, exercise and even stretching. CAUTION: There is a condition known as Cauda Equina Syndrome which you might think is sciatica; however, it is very dangerous and without a MIRACLE from God may require urgent surgical treatment. It's symptoms can be similar to sciatica, and causes can be: A severe ruptured disk in the lumbar area (the most common cause). Narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis). A spinal lesion or tumor. A spinal infection, inflammation, hemorrhage, or fracture. A complication from a severe lumbar spine injury such as a car crash, fall, gunshot, or stabbing. A birth defect such as an abnormal connection between blood vessels. There are types of bone pain attributed to bone fusion or where the vertebrae grow over. One such conditon is known as Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). It affects the spine with pain and stiffness from the neck down to the lower back and does not necessarily confine itself to older people; it happens most often to teenagers and men in their twenties, and is characterized by stiffness from the neck down to the lower back, and can result in a rigid spine. Back pain can be caused from injury, work, poor posture (sitting or standing), sports and recreation. But … the Good News is that YOU can be healed of back pain! You may be thinking … or saying … “I've had this condition for years!” Well, let me tell you, my friend, that Jesus, the Healer, has been healing for years! There are some practical things you can do to help your situation: 1. Exercise (check with a medical professional before starting an exercise or stretching regimen); 2. Take proper nutrition and supplements; 3. Get the required amount of sunshine (for Vitamin D); 4. Rest your body and your mind. 5. Take advantage of physical helps like the “Teeter HangUps” inversion table. This helps reverse the effects of gravity and disc compression. (Check with your medical professional before using.) The scope of this teaching is NOT to discuss specific types of therapy or treatments, but rather to present an alternative solution to problems that you or a loved one may be experiencing with back related issues.You can be healed today...NOW...by calling on the name of the LORD:  Who forgives all your sins, and Who heals all your diseases [Psalm 103:3]  The LORD's healing nature never changes.  It is God's will to heal you! Remember the lady in the Bible who was bent over for 18 years? “And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together (bent over), and could not in anyway lift herself up. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.” (Matthew 13:11-13) _____________   MY TESTIMONIES I am completely back pain FREE at this time in my life … and I have been on Planet Earth for quite a while! My advice to you – especially if you know the Great Physician, Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus, the Messiah) – is: NEVER GIVE UP! I went for 13 years with terrible back pain. I don't know what caused it. I was a varsity wrestler in school, but I don't remember any happenings that would have caused (the devil's) pain. (I say “the devil's pain” because it was NOT my pain; it was pain the devil wanted me to have!) Also, I had been in NO serious accidents, not even small ones. By God's grace I have never had a broken bone in my lifetime. I have claimed the scripture for years (a prophetic one about Messiah Jesus' death on the cross) that says, “He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.” (Psalm 34:20) Here is how I was healed. My pain was so bad and so aggravating. I had been to a chiropractor years before and had learned or remembered how he had “fixed” my back to alleviate pain. So, I would lie on the floor and try to “fix” my back the way the chiropractor did. I was miserable, and it got worse and worse! I was addicted to”cracking” my back. I probably was compounding the situation. It was such a miserable condition … and, to make matters worse, at that time in my life I did NOT know about the healing power of Christ! Finally, I began to wonder if the situation was NOT a physical problem, but possibly a “spirit” problem; in other words, a “spirit of affliction” sent by the devil to plague me while I was trying to do God's work! To give you an idea of how bad the situation was, if I were in a business environment where I had never been before, I would look to see if the receptionist stepped out of the office so I could lie on the floor and “crack” my back. I was miserable! One day as I was on the floor ready to “crack” my back, the Holy Spirit spoke to me. He said, “Why don't you let me take care of that for you?!” Wow! I knew exactly what He meant. Instead of ME trying to fix the problem and compounding it each time I “cracked” my back, the Holy Spirit wanted to FIX it. It was such a temptation because when – and immediately after – I would “crack” my back, I would feel so much better … until it started hurting again! I really had to resist “cracking” my back … but realized at the same time, I didn't want to go through that all of my life. So … I said, “OK, Holy Spirit, I give this problem – this back condition – to You!” That was it, it was over. PRAISE GOD! That was many years ago. Another time, I experienced extreme pain in my upper back below my shoulder. It was not a spinal problem, but it would hurt so badly that I would cry. I asked God different times to either heal me or take me home to Heaven! I went to medical doctors, I went to specialists, I went to physical therapy … nothing worked. I even told two of the doctors I had that I asked the LORD, “Either heal me or take me to Heaven,” so they would know how bad the situation was. Nothing worked! Finally, one night while travelling in another area of the country, before I went to bed, I prayed to God and said, “Father, you can just send an Angel to touch me and I will be healed.” That night, while I was sleeping, I was awakened with a loud “POP” in my back where the problem had been. It was so loud it awakened me. And I was perfectly healed. I have never had that problem since, and never will, thank God … and thank the Holy Angel that God sent to touch me. Yes, “Touched by an Angel” has a special meaning to me! _____________ PRAISE is also an important remedy for back pain. 1. It lifts up and straightens the spinal column and relaxes it from a “stooped” condition. Learn to practice praise to God several times a day for at least 30 seconds. 2. God lives in the praise of His people. “But You are holy, O You that inhabits the praises of Israel.” (Psalm 22:3)3. The anointing breaks the yoke. Since God lives in the praise of His people, there is an anointing present with true praise, which can break an “assigned” attack on the body, mind or spirit. “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” (Isaiah 10:27)4. Praise brings victory. King Jehoshaphat and the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem won a large battle utilising praise. (Read 2 Chronicles Chapter 20, verses 1-30 in the Tanakh.) _____________ CHECK THIS OUT:  An Egyptian friend of mine, Magdy Girgis, was a member of our Board of Directors. He worked for Hughes Aircraft as did several Christians who had been Baptized in the Holy Spirit, all of which spoke in tongues. They had Bible studies together every morning before work and also at luch time. One day a man named Warren Meisenbach, who worked in the Engineering Department, came to their Bible study at lunch. Warren was NOT a believer and he asked them, “What's this born again stuff you keep talking about?” Warren had been a “hunch back” for 15 years (like the lady in the Bible I discussed earlier who had been bent over 18 years). Warren received Christ as his Lord that day, and asked the men to lay hands on him for healing. Instantly … they could hear his back "cracking' like: POP, POP, POP. He was perfectly straightend in a normal position. (See Note #3 at bottom to listen to a podcast of this MIRACLE.) When he went home his wife was dumbfounded because he was not only “straightened” but smiling for the first time in years! Jesus is the Healer … the Great Physician. Will you let Him heal YOU? If you want to meet the Healer, Yeshua HaMashiach – Jesus the Anointed One – NOW is the time!  Invite God’s Son, Yeshua, to come into your life by praying the following prayer: "Messiah Jesus, I know that you are The Great Physician. You loved me enough to shed your sinless blood and die for me on the cross stake that I might be healed.   I know you are alive. Please forgive my sins, come into my life, and be my Master. Help me to live for you, and take me to Heaven when I die." _____________ I have selected three (2) books which will help you to know how to deal with back pain, and any type of pain – so you can live PAIN FREE and serve God – and enjoy life the way God wants you to. Here they are … just click on the image.     _____________ ADDENDUM I have seen many people healed by the LORD of back pain, back conditions and paralysis. I have witnessed many people walking out of their wheel chairs. I was holding a three day seminar and I had asked the people present to join me in prayer and fasting for the last day as I was going to teach on healing. A man was present who had been in a wheel chair for nine years due to two conditions: 1. A large 18 wheel semi-tractor truck had run into his automobile and he had five breaks in his spine; 2. He had muscular dystrophy. During Holy Communion he walked out of his wheel chair and never went back! Two years later, he gave his testimony in a large Presbyterian church and hundreds of people fell out of their seats under the Power of the Holy Spirit.
