[QUOTE="t_spacemonkey, post: 274365, member: 44502"] the tldr is that a lot of chronic pain has psychosomatic causes. that doesn't mean that the pain isn't real. it is physical in nature, and is due what Sarno calls localized ischemia. this ischemia is caused by our brains. it is a response to subconscious anger/rage. as the brain perceives those subconscious emotions as threatening, it does create a distraction tactic by suppressing blood flow to certain regions in the body, the lower back being a common one, but there is many others. the root causes of this anger can be very diverse. anything from childhood trauma to work stress can cause this. the fix is to move those subconscious emotions to the consciousness "feel them". they become less threatening and the ischemia and pain subsides. Sarno says that many surgeries work initially, but this is purely a placebo effect, and the pain often returns, sometimes in different areas. He wrote 4 books, and they are all on audible, but I would recommend Ozenich' book first, which is a very pleasant listen if you like audiobooks. I personally went through countless PT sessions (which according to Sarno are a waste of time as well) and eventually the spine specialist told me to get steroid injections which I never did. the entire subject is fairly controversial, but there is countless success stories. best of luck to you all no matter the route, and I think even with past treatments/surgeries you can still find value in this information.
