I promised to keep everyone up on whats happening with OV.

This is a comment OneVike left as a reply to a question to another Freeper who asked if someone could reply to the comments for him. The question was asked as a comment on his site, "Gate".

I can reply, but it is difficult because the position I need to be in to type is what seems to cause the trouble the most. So I can last about 20 minutes or so, but then the pain gets to the point that I just cannot get myself to even care about anything.
As for the pain, my doctor says that because it is basically brought on by the arthritis in my neck and in my elbow. It seems that the inflammation puts pressure on the nerves that my pain is coming from. I can take ibuprofen to lessen the inflammation and Vicodin takes the edge off the pain. I have gone through this before and it is just something I have to wait out.
The biggest problem I have is it lasts longer and is more painful every time it happens, and this time it is the worse it has ever been. Then I have a back problem that just adds to the whole problem, because I have electrical type spasms in my back that just happens to be going on at the same time.
Just in the time that I have been typing this response to you my elbow and my shoulder blade is burning like someone its poking me with a hot poker. At the same time my neck is getting stiff and my back feels like I have a million pounds weighing me down.
So I need to get off and go lie down now. I really cannot even think about the rest of your question because I am so uncomfortable I cannot even think of what I want to say. Sorry if that did not answer your question but it hurts to much right now for me to continue.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better. Then I will also work on a reply to all the gracious Freepers who have been praying for me on FreeRepublic in my time of duress. Especially Tom Hawks who asked everyone to pray for me.
The pain is too much right now for me to write anything more. I'm sorry, because I don't even think I answered your question.

I have had 4 cervical fusions all due to arthritis. I know a little about what OV is going through. Keep praying.

BTTT

continued prayers here.

Thanks for the update Tom.

We continue our prayers for OneVike and his wife.

One Vike, I pray that God will ease your pain and give you comfort. You should not worry about ‘thanking’ us, I doubt anyone here would expect that of you when it causes you more pain.

Thank you for pinging Tom.

Prayers lifted.
