FWIW, this helped me with my back pain. L5/S1, bed ridden for 3 months and couldn’t even put on my socks. DR. John Sarno has 4 books. I’ve read them all but they’re all essentially the same. Just pick one and apply the principles! I was so close to getting surgery, and I had already gotten epidurals, meds, physical therapy and everything in between. I hope this may help you get over the hinderance of back pain!
