Have you read John Sarno's books? If not, I would highly recommend them.

  I'm aware of him but what I have isn't well known or something that is amenable to normal physiotherapy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringomyelia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringomyelia basically a cavity in the spine that presses on the nerves causing pain and eventually permanent spinal damage, prognosis ranges from painful for rest of life through to you die depending on size, location and progression.

    Syringomyelia often doesn't cause any pain and isn't progressive. Just because it shows up on the MRI doesn't mean it is the reason for the pain, or that it is progressive. I certainly think it's worth exploring other possible causes for the pain. >I'm aware of him but what I have isn't well known or something that is amenable to normal physiotherapy. He doesn't practice or recommend physiotherapy.
