Sciatica is healed and a family blessed

Originally published in O Arauto da Christian Science

Some years ago, I decided to leave my professional activities in order to care for our first baby. I have a degree in physical education, and I've always worked in the fields of gymnastics and swimming.

When I felt I wanted to go back to work, I began to suffer from a pretty serious problem with the sciatic nerve, which prevented me from performing any type of physical activity. I couldn't do anything—not even walk, take care of my son, or clean the house.

At the time, I was being treated by a homeopathic doctor. Even after many treatments, the problem persisted. The pains were very intense, no matter what my position. The last doctor I consulted, an orthopedist who specialized in homeopathy, suggested I retire. In his opinion, I would never again be able to perform my occupation, and he said I shouldn't become pregnant again. He did not foresee a cure for my condition, but rather only a slight improvement. I returned home very sad, because I was already contemplating a new job. I was in the interview stage and a door was opening for me, through which I could return to my activities.
