So, I became disabled when I broke my neck in a not-so-great way and it took me out of Eastern games. It's been a longgggg journey. The pain I've endured is enough to make you ask for a bullet. No joke. I stay away from painkillers due to their assault on your system. And some advice children: Do not break your neck. It caused bladder incontinence, muscle atrophy, double vision, nystagmus, and basically a body wide malfunction if not shutdown.
I had another surgery this past September. It technically helped and even helped with some pain, but vertigo was still present, tinnitus, and extraordinary pain among many other things
About two weeks ago I took my neck and head into hands and just started manipulating it and it plain got rid of most of the torment. Most of it was located at the mastoid process bilaterally instead of the former torment located at the suboccipitals where it was referred from the break and fractures at a lower section of the spine.
Now, I am steady on my feet, the pain has drastically ceased, and my eyes aren't as heavy among many other alleviations. I have far more mobility in my rotation. I don't throw up anymore unless I eat something poisoned or the like. God had to do that. I really believe He guided my hand to make it correct.
My surgeon said this last September that I was one mild whiplash or aggressive shove on the back away from full blown paralysis. I've been in dark recesses. To my fellow pain walkers and those who claw and cry in challenge, hang in there. Many won't know what you are going through. You may look at them as If they've come through quite unscathed as they hop along charmed and satisfied. It's a tempting thought and it certainly tempted me. I'd look at them as they beamed with bright eyes and bushy tails and honestly, I'd have preferred to make a hat out of them. It was hard to stand shoulder to shoulder with them as they yapped about. Don't compare yourselves or circumstances to others. Trust me. You'll be in a loop you won't soon come out of and it will make you bitter.
Why now? Why this process? I don't know. I won't pretend to know. But I wanted to make a testimony of His mercy toward a really not so great human who has done things that would make your skin run away from your bones. And I am very thankful.
When you are down and you will be, you give your Lord praise and thank Him, not because it will cure you or even make you feel better, but because Satan absolutely loathes it. It confounds the defeat harvested so plentifully from the dead walking in this world. Don't give up.

I praise Almighty God for this miracle. God has also led me to practical, “self-help” solutions several times to help alleviate my suffering. I find it remarkable that God would choose to touch us with His wisdom, rather than His power, in these situations.
