[QUOTE="t_spacemonkey, post: 274721, member: 44502"] i'll be sounding like a broken record a bit. this is not directly on Sarno's methods, but i remember (before i learned about Sarno) watching a lot of podcasts of various experts (md's, surgeons etc) virtually saying the same. you do not operate on chronic back pain, especially sciatic pain. they have an extremely low success rate. I too considered surgery at some point, but after browsing to a couple of forums and FB groups about outcomes...i figured i will never go under a knife. there is only misery out there. A personal friend of mine had a fusion done. thats how all them eventually end. symptoms were (really bad) sciatic pain. I met him a year later how he is doing. what he said matched exactly what I read in Sarno's books. when he first got off the operating table (once the inflammation went away) - he was virtually pain free. 'I did the right thing' was his obvious reaction. recovery took close to a year or so, and he stopped doing many activities he enjoyed for good. especially biking. however as time past his pain returned. now has chronic back pain. not sure what to do next. he has more herniations. the cycle never ends. Sarno explains this as the symptoms imperative where symptoms become worse or switch location. here is some resources/success stories: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tms+success+story[/URL] here is also a good forum to start, dedicated to TMS. [URL="https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/"]TMS Forum (The Mindbody Syndrome)[/URL] there is specialist doctors who can do consults and help diagnose if this is TMS. i think dr Ozenich is in culver city, ca [/QUOTE]
