I just wanted to come back to this thread and thank everyone who participated in it and gave me words of encouragement. It's been 6 months since I first read the MindBody Prescription and introduced my husband to it.
Bob is doing wonderfully. The last roadblock we hit in June (above) passed...
Thank you for your kind words, Walt. Bob is doing much better now. He made an appointment with the chiropractor as soon as he could, but then later canceled when he felt better. He only took the narcotics on Sunday and that was it. He went back to The Mindbody Prescription and reread some...
Thanks for sharing, Colly, I hope you are right about this being major progress. I was feeling super optimistic over the last couple weeks...my husband (I'm going to start calling him "B0b") was consistently positive for almost 2 weeks, and I was starting to feel he had turned over a new leaf...

Walt, thank you so much, I think the videos may help. One of the orthopaedic surgeons suggested that my husband have an exploratory knee scope, even though the MRI and X-rays of the knee showed nothing wrong. I think the part of Steve's video explaining that surgery is not needed may really...
Thank you. I think that he is definitely more scientifically minded since he is trained as a paramedic and teaches emergency medicine (as a side note he had to give up his part-time job on the ambulance because of his pain - one of the events I suspect is causing internal rage).
About how...
My 43 y/o husband has been dealing with chronic pain in his knees for about 2 years, and in his elbows for about 1 year. Both knees have had injuries in the past and he was treated at the time of the injuries, but as of now the doctors can't find anything seriously wrong with them. He's been...
