Another, possibly better, book about back pain relief.
Sarno’s book explains what is the cause of chronic pain. There is no rational reason for it. It is something the mind makes up to divert attention from more deep-seated problems that one may not even be consciously aware of. Thousands, perhaps millions, of people have been misdiagnosed and prescribed treatment that works only temporarily. Many of those people became addicted to opioids because their doctors prescribed the wrong treatment.
I’m still reading. My back pain has been reduced to really no pain. My lower back is slightly malformed, and so I can expect a twinge when I get up in the morning or stress my back excessively. This is mild and disappears quickly.
I am also relying on Transcendental Meditation to resolve my tension, stress, and anxiety. This, too, leads my mind to no longer need to produce unnecessary chronic pain.
