This is a follow up post I put up a couple of weeks ago. My big question is do other people have stiffness turning into burning pain following lumbar surgery. Add sciatica pain in the buttocks ( I think) that comes and goes. How do you treat it? I never mentioned what the symptoms were. Some...

I can’t begin to imagine what the surgery is like. But you could not see it being done since you are under sedation, and TMS is you or your subconscious. It is your conscious mind that imanges what goes on. That appears to feed your subconscious with what may be innacurate info. But you say you...

I had spinal surgery L 3-L5, first was L4-L5 7or 8 years ago. I too have some groin pain. I can trace the nerve causing it coming all the way up to the external sciatic notch. Buttock pain does move around too. It is all weird but not nice as Sarno would say. Everyone has some arthritis on the...

Thanks. It has definitely got my attention. It plain hurts right where the piriformis crosses the sciatic nerve. I didn’t know it was a TMS equivalent. I assumed it was the sciatic nerve that hurt. I know that Sarno’s gave little attention to the sciatic nerve, almost dismissing it. Those items...

This will be the first time I have posted anything. I have had fusion surgery 7 years ago that became a failure. A few months ago I developed bad symptoms and an orthopedist did another fusion surgery. I have read most of Sarno’s books but had problems believing much of it. Now I wish I had...
