Lonnie Herring who oversees all recipes that come into Miracles has one theory to why people seem to be flocking to the restaurant which is still in its fresh m an year, “ ....[thejdown home cooking, ev erything is made from scratch, ev erything is fresh,” he says.

Part 32. A ssociated Pain Dr. Billy R. Flowers : Is my leg pain related to my recent back injury? \ : Sharp pain radiating from you back down one leg can be a result of a pinched nerve in the spine. Herniated discs and bone spurs are two of the most pinched nerve in the spine. Disc in the spine function like shock absorbers; and they can be come damaged from an injury or nor mal use. Your leg pain is likely related to a problem in your lumbar spine, although it is hard to pinpoint exactly what trig gered your pain. You might have had a pre-existing condition made worse by a recent injury. The good news is this type of pain often resolves on its own or with chiropractic treatm ent. If the pain lasts longer than a few weeks, or if you have noticeable weakness in your leg or foot, talk to a doctor about getting an MRI.
