Hi Walt, thanks for your comment. No on the contrary, I am hoping I do have TMS. I guess it is just hard to let go. I have an appointment with a psychologist tomorrow actually and hopefully they are able to help me with those emotions.

Hi there, quick question I hope that maybe some of you who had back surgeries can comment on this issue. I had a minimally invasive neucloplasty at L5-S1 4 months ago, where they do a discogram beforehand to see I the pain comes from that disc etc.. Apparently I said yes to the pain when they...

I feel I need to comment here since you describe pretty much what happened to me! However, contrary to what I did, your bravery here is commendable for continuing working out for four years with back pain and sciatica. It seems to me that even then four years ago, perhaps unconsciously, you...

Hi Walt, Thank you for your comment and for the information. It truly is helpful. I think you are right, I know I have TMS and don't really need someone else to tell me. I am going ahead with it. And will make sure I get my hands on Steve's book. Cheers, LF

Hi Everyone, I am here desperate to get better. I come here after a failed back surgery at the usual L5-S1 disc 4 months ago, which left me deeply depressed and even contemplating suicide thinking life had lost all its meaning. Somewhere along my path I came across Dr Sarnos book but being a...
