- An Amazon.com Customer says, " I had severe numbness and significant atrophy in my leg and foot. An MRI showed a herniated disc. My doctor said surgery was absolutely necessary or risk permanent nerve damage, and we scheduled it within a few days. A friend told me to read this book (Mind Over Back Pain) before I did anything else. I believed what Dr. Sarno was suggesting, that it wasn't permanent structural problems. I cancelled surgery and completely overcame the problems. It's been over 2 years with lots of activity (skiing, running, etc.)."
- Rick says, "I had terrible leg pain for 7 years. I thought it was due to my house building days and an injury I thought I had received from pulling a boat from the water. An Orthapedic surgeon said he could remove the so-called pinched disc. I chose instead to regularly visit a Chiropractor. Between Chiropractor visits I would consume numerous anti-flammitory pills. I also did Acupunture. Then I read "The Mindbody Prescription" by Dr. Sarno. During the course of reading this book, I could feel the pain easing up as I could relate alot of what he wrote to my situation. After reading it twice, I was virtually pain free. That was two years ago and I have been pain free since."
- Merridy says, " After many, many visits to an internist, orthopedist, and chiropractor, with the accompanying MRIs, for severe leg pain, I discovered Dr. Sarno's book (The Mindbody Prescription) online. It is a common sense, quickly understandable approach to healing yourself. My first pain-free day was after reading the first 20 pages! So I kept reading. That was 6 weeks ago. Today I am celebrating 3 totally pain free weeks. And now I am using the information to deal with headaches which is working."
- Dr Schubiner's Unlearn Your Pain also has a number of reviews from people who have overcome leg pain as a result of the TMS techniques in it:
- Chicago (19 July 2010) says, "I suffered severe injury to my Achilles tendon as a result of an overuse sports injury. Well, my Achilles did not get any better. In fact, I was in constant pain. It hurt when I walked, when I sat or laid down. The pain never stopped. I was unable to do any physical activity whatsoever.
I then came across a story on the internet about a young woman who injured her Achilles tendon while cheerleading and had similar problems with her Achilles as I did until she saw Dr Schubiner. This young woman described how the only thing that help her was applying Dr. Schubiner's mind-body principles and that Dr. Schubiner cured her Achilles problem. I immediately ordered Dr. Schubiner's book and as I was reading it I could literally feel my Achilles pain go away. It has been almost two months since I saw Dr. Schubiner and I have been absolutely PAIN FREE!!!"
- Mariah Newborn writes (December 201): "I had great success with this program. I had chronic pain in my hips with my left hip being in acute pain. This pain was more intense after I had been sitting or driving. I took Dr. Schubiner's four week class, worked with the journaling exercises in the book each week and practiced the suggested affirmations. After about 7 or 8 weeks the pain had diminished to 80 percent less. One day after getting out of my car and experiencing pain I looked down at my left hip and said, "I've had it and I am through with this pain." After that it was gone for good."
- S Murphy writes (24 September 2010), "I have suffered from chronic hip and leg pain for years. I had been to a number of different types of doctors and they have all told me the same thing, 'Your MRI is clean, why don't you try physical therapy?' After several rounds of therapy I still had found no relief. I then tried a series of injections that did not work. Dr Schubiner has taught me some techniques for managing the stress and I feel so much better as a result. I enjoy my life more now because I know how to control the pain when it flares up. I would recommend this treatment for anyone who wants to rid of their chronic pain. I am very thankful for this program and the fantastic results."
- Ninamal writes (1 September 2010): "I am a cyclist and in 1997 I started having pain in my left shin. I assumed it was an overuse injury, and immediately sought help from sports medicine doctors, chiropractors, neurologists, osteopaths, podiatrists, physical therapists, etc. In the end I went to over 40 different doctors, specialists, surgeons, therapists and healers. I had multiple MRI's, bone scans, compartment tests, x-rays and nerve tests. I eventually gave up cycling and running. The pain spread to my right leg and then began to travel up and down my lower body. Then I got a new GP who heard my story and immediately recommended Dr. Schubiner. I bought his book, met with him, began working his program, and within a week my pain had diminished by 80-90%."
