For most people, the pain is very consistent. The longer you sit, the worse the pain gets...when you stop sitting, the pain starts decreasing, etc. Although having an inconsistency can be more evidence that it isn't structural, having no inconsistencies certainly isn't evidence that it is structural.
Great question. It's not about preventing the pain from coming on, it's about changing the way you respond when it does. When it does come back, how do you respond? If you are literally indifferent and the pain persists, I'm guessing there may be some doubt over whether there's anything structurally wrong with you. It's always a good idea to consult with a TMS physician to A.) rule out physically causes, and B.) confirm to the primitive part of your brain that it's not physically caused. It can serve as both a physical and psychological intervention.
