Day 1 Journey started

Hi everyone, so I started yesterday, so this is in fact day 2, with my journey to take control of my life again and getting rid of my pain. About a year ago my back went out after I coughed and that was it, or so I thought. The doctor told me I had a pinched nerve in my SI joint (which I had never heard of at that point). The first week I couldn’t do a thing as my back went into a spasm even when moving a finger. But gradually I started to get out of bed. The doctor had advised me to start doing bridge exercises and so I did. From dr. Google I found a lot of other exercises appropriate for my SI joint. And I walked, many miles, indoors, to get myself going. I think I’ve never been more fit in my life but the pain didn’t subside.
Last week I finally went to see an orthopedic surgeon to have my spine checked and there’s nothing wrong. He did mention I have some normal abnormalities but those are age related and nothing to worry about. The pain could come from hyperlordosis and I should do more core exercises. But, with this diagnosis to me it was clear as day that it is TMS I’m having.
To make a long story short, I bought dr. Sarno’s book, Healing Back Pain; I’m listening to the podcast Tell me about your pain and I started journal speak. I have to add I have Asperger’s and it’s very hard for me to let go of obsessive thoughts and actions, but well, maybe that gives an extra dimension to my journey
