@jhc1013 and @Sid Hartha , thanks for your responses. Thankfully, I'm doing a lot better now. I still have some pain (and am working on that), but it is no longer debilitating.

You can see some background on my pain at https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/at-the-end-of-my-rope-with-sciatica-piriformis-syndrome.29563/ I am beginning the Structured Education Program (SEP) because I have only gotten 80% better and I want to be 100% better. Also, I retired at the...

Thanks for the advice @Ellen! I do need to dig on those journaling issues, and my dog loves the Now!

Thank you @Baseball65.

@BloodMoon, I think you are right. I know that I am angry that I was forced to take on a bunch of additional responsibility this past Fall, and when the effects started to impact me at work is right when I "strained my back" while lifting weights. I am also angry that I don't feel like I'm...

@Diana-M, thanks, I'll check out @Ellen's post!

Thanks so much to all responders! I really appreciate your wisdom and time. I will definitely be trying your suggestions. A few follow-up comments and clarifications: @Cactusflower, thanks for the thoughts on sleep. That is a misquote, as I didn't write that or mean to imply it. I am...

Here is an update since I last posted on Saturday a week ago. If you don’t care about the details, just read the executive summary. Executive Summary My piriformis pain intensity is now manageable without pain killers, but sleep is getting worse and now I can’t sleep for more than 30-60...

@feduccini, this is great. I totally agree. I got my PhD in physics in quantum field theory in 1999, and this makes sense to me. I got to know Susskind some at a two-week conference workshop where he was one of the luminaries. I discussed with him the possibility that spacetime itself is...

Agreed! I will have to take a closer look at "Stillness Speaks". I have it, but it has been a long time.

Thanks @Diana-M. I guess I was lumping neuroplasticity into the "overstressed nervous system" camp, and I view creation of new "healing" channels in the brain to be similar to somatic tracking.

Thank you so much for weighing in, @HealingMe, @feduccini, @Baseball65, and @Diana-M! You have all given me the confidence to incorporate spirituality into the approach that I am constructing. (See my other related post...

Thanks, I have MBP and will take a look at that story. I'm glad the physical activities worked so well for you. I don't know that I'll blow stuff up (haha) but my preferred exercise is weight lifting, so I am SLOWLY ramping back up on that. I overdid it before and the resultant muscle...
