@NJres, I am open to all recommendations and I am willing to try them.

Right after your post #19 on 9/8, I went check out the book you mentioned, plus another book from other author on similar subject. As you said, nothing to lose. Interesting concept and theory, it seems to make sense to a degree, but can be difficult for someone to “learn” to “control” their mind to “deflect” the pain, not sure if I am using the right terminology.

“Some people are helped, others not. Worst case, if it does not work for you, at least you have a different perspective and a theory of what causes most back pain”, You do acknowledge that it did not work for some of your friends.

So I have read the book over a couple of times, the theory is in my head to use together with PT and painkillers as needed. I do not believe, at least in my case, that “mind over back pain” alone can rid of the pain I have now.

I am glad the book is a miracle treatment for you, I wish it is for me, who wants to be in pain? Maybe it will help in the long run…
