    Rapid Recovery from Back and Neck Pain: A Nine-Step Recovery Planby Anonymous

    February 23, 2008: Around the time of my pregnancy in 1995 I developed pain throughout my body that eventually reached a point where almost all the activities in life I loved were no longer available, and trying to get well became an obsession. The critical symptoms were a sawing pain across my upper leg and in my hip, repetitive strain injury 'RSI' in my hands and arms which at its worse prevented me from dressing, toileting or eating without assistance, and back, neck, ankle and foot pain. There was a year when I couldn't drive myself at all. Eventually I ended up in a wheelchair, pushed around by my husband. This experience was extremely frightening and I was greatly challenged to deal with both the fear and the pain. Throughout this period we spend huge money and energy getting the best medical help we could find. Numerous 'often conflicting' suggestions were offered for why I was in this predicament, but nothing offered arrested my decline. My life became vastly restricted. When I began reading Rapid Recovery from Back and Neck Pain, I could barely walk. I followed the strategies outlined in the book closely. I quickly regained both mobility, and muscle strength, and was once again able to play the piano, and resume trekking and climbing. Three years later I continue to immerse myself in these activities, and my body works great. As an added bonus my allergies to cats and pollen and the like, which I had had since early childhood, disappeared. This approach challenges current medical thinking, and challenged my thinking. Once I committed to it I focused on the 'what to do', rather than on the 'will it work?'. I found the book practical and easy to follow. The important thing is to give it a thorough try 'rather than getting tied up with what doctors have told you in the past, or what our society currently believes about pain' and to follow the steps as designed till you realise it works and you can go it on your own. It is a powerful approach, and produces results that are almost miraculous. It's been well worth the effort and lifechanging for me, and others I've met.

    March 29, 2004: This book offers a practical implementation of Dr. Sarno's theories. I read 'The MindBody Prescription' as well as this book to cure Repetitive Strain Injury in my hands. Now, six weeks after first encountering this approach, I am 80% cured. I still have some symptoms in my hands but I'm no longer scared of the pain. I don't know if this book will work for everyone but it had a lot of good advice for me. Thanks Fred.
