In a nutshell, back pain management techniques can be simple as long as you have the correct diagnosis concerning the source of your pain to begin with. Always remember that it is POSSIBLE to find effective back pain management methods and sciatica pain relief. Literally 1000's of back pain sufferers using the inspirational findings of Dr John Sarno, a U.S. MD (more about his theory and words of wisdom later) have found these lesser known methods.

FEEDOM from bad lower back pain seemed a long way off as Christmas approached for me the year I had my failed back surgery... Yes, as Christmas drew near pain was my constant companion. I was also upset with the neurosurgeon in charge of my back after meeting with him just before Christmas. It was a freezing cold, miserable December day and I had to wait an hour and a half for the Consultant as he was running late. The hospital felt miserable with a sad looking Christmas tree with cheap tinsel flung on carelessly. I was sitting in the middle...

If you're looking for help with insomnia related to your severe back pain then you're in the right place! Back and sciatica pain are like an internal alarm system activated in the spine on a 24/7 frequency. Such an alarm system keeps the mind 'awake and active' trying to find a solution to whatever it thinks is wrong.

Back pain solutions and sciatic pain relief seemed far from me as the hospital consultant told me in July 2009 that I might suffer with severe back pain for the rest of my life. I felt like crying. However after a couple of days I decided that I was going to beat this 'thing' myself and stop relying on the medical profession to 'fix' me as it wasn't going to work, at least not long term! Back pain solutions at that point had meant a series of dead ends and thwarted hopes and efforts.

Experiencing lower back and leg pain is most trying, it makes you feel that there is just too much on your plate and you get exhausted easily. Chronic fatigue can easily set in and a vicious cycle can begin. Lower back and leg pain is also a most frustrating experience and frustration is an emotion (a negative one) which doesn't help matters one bit, but more about this in later posts.

Lower back pain causes-sciatica causes=oxygen deprivation pain. To understand lower back pain causes and sciatica causes (in cases of tension myositis syndrome) a summary of the structure of the brain is needed.

Treatment for lower back pain and treatment for sciatica that works long term isn't nearly as difficult to find as it may at first seem... When I was desperate for treatment for sciatica pain that worked for me I accepted the first diagnosis I was given i.e. it was a pinched nerve on my sciatic nerve and that a ruptured disc was causing it. This, the medics told me was to blame for my chronic leg pain. However in the long run, accepting this diagnosis without questioning it was very costly for me both financially and emotionally as it resulted...

A stop smoking tip for back pain and sciatica sufferers is that smoking as well as doing horrible things to your body and lungs as you know about already, also causes a lack of oxygen to your spine.

The secret lies in finding out exactly what isn't right! Back pain is on the rise globally as more people struggle with chronic pain in our societies. In fact, back pain symptoms have become epidemic in some western countries including the US and Europe. You only have to read pain forums, blogs, twitter and newsletters to see what is happening.

Back pain surgery is fast becoming one of the first back pain solutions to be considered in the case of severe pain. There is a huge amount of information and promotional material available about back surgery, you just need to google it, from procedures, costs, after care details etc. But are the operations effective long term?

Sharp back pain and sciatic back pain are signs, symptoms that all is not well in the person. They are often sent to alert us just as emotions are messengers that are meant to tells us information and until we listen to them, or at least become aware of them they won't go away.

Slipped disc symptoms include amongst other things... severe, sharp or shooting pain in the leg muscle pain and aches in the legs generally pain down just one leg numbness and loss of feeling in the leg pins and needles in the leg loss of reflex loss of flexibility and limited range of motion in the leg The cure for these slipped disc symptoms for the majority of sufferers is very clear-the brain has to be retrained to stop the pain!

Back pain solutions and sciatic pain relief often only comes when we understand what is really going on with our spines and when we have the CORRECT diagnosis. To lay the foundation for this correct diagnosis it is wise to take a look at the structure of our spines which are a feat of engineering in themselves. The main structure of the back is the spinal column. This supports the upper body’s weight and protects the spinal cord which carries the nerve transmissions from the autonomic nervous system and which controls all our movements.

In a nutshell one or more of these discs is said to have ‘lost’ their fluid or toothpaste like 'gel' content and has cracked, ruptured, been torn, or is ‘bulging’ out. The discs are the shock absorbers of the spine and, we are told, if the spine loses these pain occurs.

In this post I'll be discussing chronic leg pain and severe back pain and how it's normally diagnosed... When chronic leg pain or back pain symptoms strike it can take a few days until a sufferer visits the Doctor to discuss the pain. Deep down the sufferer is hoping and praying that the Doctor will be able to  'fix' the pain with a pill or a procedure and that they'll be taken seriously. Chronic pain is often viewed as an 'excuse' to avoid work which does an injustice to all those who suffer agonies every day! During the visit, the...

In this post I’d like to take a little aside and consider the future our countries, that is, the children in regard to back pain or the possibility of back pain in their futures. Not only is back pain and sciatica of epidemic proportion in adults but it's also growing in children. There is one main contributory factor in all of this and I can vouch for this being a school teacher myself, that very often children’s school bags are simply overloaded with school books and supplies eg games kits, cookery equipment, text books. I am not one to 'molly coddle' children however compared to when I was at School they do tend to carry around a lot more. This constant carrying around of excess baggage each day (we are talking secondary education not primary) can cause muscle fatigue and spasms in young backs, let alone thinking of their emotional well being and the effect this may have on their backs in the future.

Chronic pain treatment focuses often on the body as you would expect but... the inspirational John Sarno, M.D. back pain expert, has gone so far as to say that the majority of chronic pain occurences have their real root cause in emotional factors! This is NOT to say of course that they are psychosomatic in any way, they are not. The physical cause of a chronic pain syndrome is most commonly related to physcial oxygen deprivation pain to the nerves, muscles and tissues in the body, in the case of this blog in the lower back area of the spine....

Lower back pain and leg pain, my story continued... Lower back pain and leg pain seemed to be the story of my life in January 2009 as I went into hospital for steroid injections into my facet joints. My facet joints, I had been told were now the cause of my lower back pain (as opposed to my previously herniated spinal discs). I was told that the steroid injections into my facet joints would ‘free’ up my muscles and mainly have a pain relieving effect on the area (to give it a chance to heal) after the back pain surgery....

In this first of a two part article, I'll be discussing lower back pain remedies and treatments that work as info for sufferers.

Lack of oxygen causes fatigue, drowsiness and the heaviness associated with chronic fatigue syndrome. If often feels as...

In this post I'll be discussing managing and healing emotions through learning emotional awareness skills...  The tension myositis syndrome theory highlights the cure element of being able to manage the emotions. In fact managing and healing the emotions are at the root of finding a long term chronic pain cure. If you can picture the emotions as 'nerves' in the body then they are no more than messengers. As long as we listen to these messages no matter if they're good or bad messages, the emotions, by themselves just dissolve away as energy. If we don't take time to listen...

Natural pain relief can be found if you know where to look and what you're looking for!  Look to see if the TMS-tension myositis syndrome-theory applies to you. Look up Dr John Sarno on youtube.  

Tension Myositis Syndrome refers to a painful chronic pain condition that affects thousands of people (often unknown to them). Could it be affecting you too? The word 'tension' refers to an inner and very often buried tension which is unfelt and locked into the unconscious part of the mind. 'Myositis' refers to muscle pain (nerves and tendons are also affected in this pain syndrome) and 'syndrome' means that this chronic pain disorder can 'manifest' itself in many areas in the body (and also in the mind as depression and anxiety). The tension myositis pain disorder often strikes in the lower...

Pain lower back can be incredibly hard to live with, day in and day out. Sufferers liken it to the worst pain they have ever felt in their lives. Women say it's almost the equivalent of childbirth pain in its most extreme forms. Dr John Sarno who 'invented' the tension myositis syndrome pain theory said its the most painful pain known in clinical medicine.   I agree it can be the most agonising of pains and not even high doses of morphine can take it away when you have severe lower back pain or sciatica. The pain stops you moving...

Sleep is important. We spend nearly a third of our lives asleep! Therefore finding the best mattress possible especially if you suffer from lower back pain is a necessity. In an earlier post, I described how orthopedic mattresses still are the best mattresses for back pain. However, now also on the market, if your budget can stretch to it is a gel mattress. In fact, one of the best kept secrets of the medical profession is their use of gel mattresses in hospitals and clinics. Though more expensive, a gel mattress can give great benefits. These include providing hygienic, long...

Left back pain often is a constant aching, gnawing feeling in your side that something is wrong, it feels like you're being 'attacked' at every moment by your back (and if you have TMS, in a way, you are). Left back pain is of such a nature that you simply can't ignore it, it pounds away at your side day and night. You're sleeping at night, you turn over and you're inwardly screaming in pain lying awake. It's like having a constant stitch in your back muscles, stabbing and sore. But stitches pass away quickly why doesn't this you think...

Hard to believe but it's true. What Does Anger Feel Like? Anger actually comes in many shapes and forms. When you peruse the list of  feelings below you may be surprised at the...
