Just got news on Dad's MRI results. Dad has a compression fraction of L1 (see chart above). The reason he's in so much pain is that he fractured it around December 12th and he's been walking around un-medicated & untreated all this time. The inflammation has worsened and the nerves are inflamed. He's on major pain medication and muscle relaxing medications which have taken his mind back to 1943. I guess he's fighting the enemy somewhere in India or Burma tonight. Bless his heart. My mom is spending the night in his room because she is the only one he will listen to when he is in this state.
His doctor and the radiologist both agreed that the chiropractor did not make it worse or did not cause other problems. Thank you, God!! I feel so much better. My guilt has been eased considerably.
The back specialist will be seeing him tomorrow to decide a course of treatment.
Any healing prayers would be appreciated!

P.S.................I TOLD you it was not your fault ;)
I'm relieved they found out what was causing his pain, and I'm happy that he is relatively pain free.. just a shame that he has to be hallucinating on top of it. :( That sucks!
I will keep him in my prayers, Kathy!
Thanks for the update!

I'm glad the problem has been found and your chiropractor didn't make it worse. I know all about back pain, I suffered with it and was off work sick for seven years. I'm praying your dad will get some treatment and relief for this, bless him. Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/
