    Stuck and Frustrated - An Update

    Thank you. I will look into Tanner. I'm feeling a bit as if I have exhausted this method, and I'm a skeptic by nature. But I'm also open-minded and have felt benefits from pain reprocessing, so I would like to give this another chance. I've definitely felt plenty of despair during this...

    Stuck and Frustrated - An Update

    Hello everyone. I thought I would give an update that's honest and just a little writing/journaling exercise if I am allowed to post something like that here. It's been over a year and a half of back pain now. Specifically, about one year of acute back pain. Now, my last intense bed-ridden...

    Going back to work

    Hey there I struggle with what had been diagnosed as a herniated disc and this past year I’ve had a relaxed job that I did part time. No lifting or anything required. I was barely functional. This summer I’ve transitioned back to a food service job that requires lots of heavy lifting and bending...

    Little Update On My Journey

    Hey everyone. I just thought it'd be useful for me to give an update. It's been almost 6 months of looking into this for me as an explanation for my severe back pain. I had a long plane ride back home to the States followed by lots of traveling to meet up with family. My back still hates...

    Upper back pain, stays in the same place

    I'm new to this and largely in the middle of it myself, but I relate to your pain. I also struggle with back pain and have been bed-bound for a week at a time as someone in my early 20s. Something I've been learning recently is pressure. I think a huge part of my symptoms come from pressure...

    Update During Educational Program

    Quick update. The next day went pretty well! I took it easier because I let myself believe and know that, of course my back muscles are going to be sore. I've been babying and resting them for months, so this is the biggest workout they've gotten in a long time! So I let myself alter my...

    Update During Educational Program

    Thank you guys for such amazing support on this forum. Haven't seen a group quite like it! Quick update. I’m on the trip right now. Yesterday, I was absolutely ASTONISHED at how my back was doing. I worked on taking pressure off myself and caring for myself more. After a couple hours of...

    Update During Educational Program

    Thanks for asking, that's kind of you! Since my post, I'd say I've taken a downturn in some ways but I'm not feeling totally defeated or anything yet. I had a very up-and-down few weeks like never before. Pain was fluctuating from a 3 to a 8 from hour to hour. I started to notice patterns -...

    Update During Educational Program

    Hey everyone, Some may remember I posted a few weeks ago about where I was at. I wasn't a book cure unfortunately, but my back pain definitely changed as I read the book in strange ways. The program is telling me now is about the time to get an update, so here I am. When I first started...

    Is this TMS?

    Thank you for the tips as I'm learning and taking a deep dive into this. I read your success story the other day which was a huge help, and I plan on using the resources you linked into it. So thank you again for all your help! Thank you for the insights, especially the symptoms you had at a...
