After almost a year, here is my story.

For about 10 years I have had reoccurring low back pain with debilitating episodes once a year that last about a week. I’m/ was always stiff in the low back. Tried chiropractor, physical therapy, acupuncture and massage. Nothing made it feel 100%. Then last year I started getting sciatica pain on my left leg and it was miserable. Just came on out of the blue.

Then las year I discovered Healing back pain by Dr Sarno and was healed for about 6 months. I was playing soccer, running hiking, doing it all
Then one day at work my back went out carrying some heavy stuff. Went to the doctor and they said it was a lumbar sprain. After more pain I had an mri and dr found an annular tear in my l5- s1 and degenerative disc.

In a 4 month period I had 4 episodes where my back would go out and I was tilted to one side and in a lot of discomfort. But now looking back I can see that all those time I had major life event and tmstresses I was dealing with.


Pain didn’t improve so I did physical therapy and finally an epidural injection.


Then I found this site and read more books by Sarno and Steve Osanich. I was good for another 6 months. Doing it all and pain free.

Now recently I had another episode but only this time I was able to not let it get to me as it did in the last.

I’m fighting TMS and recently started sessions with the pain physicology center and hoping to soon be healed and with the fight whiting me.
