Loading ...All my life I had times of back pain, I assumed was from heavy lifting. Then I read a small book Mind Over Back Pain by a Dr. Sarno. He said quite often people go to acupuncture, and other treatments including surgery. And the pain comes back because it was a placebo effect that made them feel better. But the pain comes back again.
After I read the book after 2008, no more back pain from 1965 at all. Until around 2017 we were rushing to a surgeon appointment re my wife’s cancer which was stressing me out.
I picked something up and I immediately got a back attack. I told myself there is nothing structurally wrong with my back, i walked around the house a few minutes, It hurt, but I got in the car with pain and the pain was gone before we got there in about a half an hour.
P.S an older relative of mine went for surgery and the pain came back. I never told her about that book.
