Here's a comment I posted on a doctor's website. He was talking about the inconsistencies with MRI results related to the spine and how this was leading to unnecessary procedures like surgery. I hope he reads my comment. Here's what I posted:
"Abnormalities found on an MRI scan for the neck and back do not lead to pain. The medical community has chronic pain all wrong. I'm pointing out here that chronic pain does not have physical or structural reasons. It's psychological and emotional. Here me out now. It's called TMS. Tension Myositis Syndrome. Also, referred to as Mind Body Syndrome, PPD, etc. There's a ton of information supporting this condition. Dr. John Sarno is the pioneer of TMS and he has not been given the credit he deserves because: doctors are not taught this in medical school, the medical community makes huge money from chronic pain, most doctors don't want to deal with the psychological aspect(get them in and out of the office as quick as possible), most patients want a drug or something easy to get rid of the pain. The research is available on this subject. You should check out the TRUTH. Most people just don't want to believe that their mind is the reason for their pain. What causes chronic pain? It called TMS. 500 years ago the earth was believed to be flat. Is your world flat or round?"

My friend has to get head and neck surgery in Idaho because of this. I had no idea there was so many different degrees of it.
ReplyDeleteSorry your friend is having pain. Maybe you can tell your friend about TMS. It's much better than surgery.
