I am barely hanging on too. Fuggin sucks. Don't give up.I'm basicly disabled at this point. surgery is pretty much my only option. or suicide.....
it's been six months of this crap. putting my pants on with tongs because I can't reach my foot with my hand. I can't sit down for more then 20 minutes and if I have to sit for longer (stuck in car/traffic) I can't get back up without major pain. I can't lift anything.
My foot/leg is tingly and in pain constantly...
kinda sucks.
I'm meeting with a sturgen in the next few weeks, hopefully.

I recommend that you see a doctor, ideally one who specializes in TMS, but if that isn't possible, one who is just open to the idea would probably be good enough. Verify that there isn't a major injury that needs to be addressed. There's a list of physicians here, http://www.tarpityoga.com/directory.html.I only got an MRI after MONTHS of ignoring the pain. telling myself it would go away and it was nothing. When the pain got to the point where I could no longer get out of bed or get dressed, I got an MRI. I had been seeing a doctor up until that point.
The pain level isn't as bad as that now, but I have stopped all physical activitys minus getting out of bed, getting dressed and driving my car. but I still have pain in my leg, lower back and foot.
So your saying I should just ignore it? I'm still confused...
Listen to the Skook. He's got it right, and he *doesn't* drink the Kool Aid...Y'know i gotta chime in here. i'm not going to discount the importance of getting right in the skull. But let's see how ole Sarno does when he has a kidney stone shooting out his pee-hole.
Looking at this from afar i know that injuries like this take time. And unfortunately it's quite common to hear about horror stories about surgery. i do know that the stomach supports the back, that's why i do stretches and various crunches every morning. i forked over the cash into a back support mattress for my bed. And i watch how i lift when i work, and i limit my time in chairs that put strain on my back.
Diligence is what i recommend.
i would accept at face value the hindrance in healing that repressed or negative thoughts would be. But as far as the power of positive thought being the whole enchilada as a miracle cure, sounds pretty far fetched. But as a "part" of the solution, in a crippling situation, why not invest into it, not like you have anything to lose.
Hell Pat maybe you should just go to a born again church and let them bop you on the head. Just don't twist wrong when you're flopping like a fish on the floor.
Seriously though man, i hope you get things worked out right.
