thanks Forest and Mor!, ya know, just sifting through the wiki and reading the forums seems to have refreshed my memory about what is really going on! Just reading here reminded me and help to put the focus back where it belongs. No more Advil, ice or heat for me! I literally felt the pain...
I was a chronic back pain suffer for many years since the age of 15. Finally in 2001 or so I had a "book cure" after reading Dr. Sarno's books. For ten years, I've been essentially pain free with the occasional pain during difficult times. I'm in the heart of the "years of responsibility"...
