Everything in the original post is true. However, I completely understand, and more importantly believe, that my back pain is not related to anything medical, yet I remain in pain. I also know deep down that everything which plays on my mind is a falsehood and that everything is going to be...

I'm wondering if others have had a similar experience to myself. I have had recurring back pain for years, always coming back at stressful moments, or moments of dramatic change. Shortly after my first child was born, I was plagued with horrendous back pain for the whole summer. My second...
