Back Pain

I haven't posted about this yet because I was hoping it would get better. I've been having alot of back pain lately, since Luke has been born.Actually since he's been born my back has completely gone out probably about 6 or 7 times. When I say "gone out" I mean I can hardly do anything, even pick up Luke. Mark has to stay home and help me because I can't do much. Basically I just sit on a heating pad. Well, I finally went to the chiropractor last month and she took x-rays and told me I have degenerative disc disease. It's where the discs in your back degenerate and get closer together. I think I only saw one disc in my lower back right now that is doing that. Anyway, so I've been going once a month to the chiropractor to get adjusted. Well, this week my back was giving me troubles again. It didn't completely go out this time but now I have alot of pain down my leg into my foot which is called "sciacta." It also seems to be a little bit in my right hand, but not as bad as my leg. So, we had the x-rays sent to an orthopedic surgeon and I will probably have an apt. next week with him.

Alot of this I feel has to do with my pelvis, which is all connected to my back. When I was pregnant with Wesley and Luke, I had alot of pelvis problems. The doctors, my obgyn, always just said that it was normal pregnancy pains but I had a feeling that it was more than that. The chiropractor told me I do have a misaligned pelvis, which could be the cause of some of this back trouble. When I was in 7th grade, I fractured my tailbone and that might have been where all of this started from too. It took like a year before I completely healed from that. So, if you would, please keep me in your prayers. I am too young for this to be happening and it makes it hard to take care of my boys and play with them and be active the way I want to. Also, we wanted try to have one more baby, but I don't know if I will be able to seeing that it got worse when I had Luke. I haven't asked the doctor their opinion on that yet, because I am really not emotionally prepared for their answer yet. Thanks.
