Loading ...I had a bad back starting at 18 years old. Sometimes an “attack” would last 7-10 days. One time I got attacked just driving down rt 110. The last one was the WORST. About 3 supper bowls ago.
The day before I was supposed to go to a super bowl party, tying my shoes and got an attack. The pain took my breath away. Fell cross ways across the bed and could not move one inch to even watch the TV for 3-4 hours.
No time now for the whole story, but after I got better, visited my friend at the used car lot, he told me their was nothing wrong with my back. He saw the Dr on TV. Howard Stern called the TV show and told everybody to listen to that guy. He knows his stuff.
Any way, he tells me “Its all stress related.” “Get the book, “Mind over back pain” by Doctor Sarno.
Its a small book and an easy interesting read. He treats people that had acupuncture, chiropractor work, etc and even people that had surgery, and pain stays away for a while and comes back. He says the placebo effect works, short term, but pain comes back because wrong approach.
I never had an attack again for at least the past three years. Only recently I had a very stressful situation, picked something up, back of toilet tank cover and got NAILED, and I KNEW why, and it went away in a half hour. Bayer aspirin worked.
Dr. Sarno says its big business and they try to shut him up. Every back bone has abnormalities, and they focus on that, show you and treat that. Many case histories in the book……
“Oh I should not have lifted that thing” “I should not have gone golfing” etc etc. Read that book.
