Sorry to read this. You don't mention the cause of your chronic pain, but I'm guessing it's probably related to startup stress & long hours of tense work in front of a computer screen i.e. RSI. I'll add my experience here in case it's useful. I went through several years of severe, disabling RSI / chronic pain in my 20s, about 6 years ago. Have written two blog articles about it. http://edgecase.net/articles/an_overview_of_repetitive_strain_injury_rsi http://edgecase.net/articles/an_overview_of_repetitive_strai... http://edgecase.net/articles/further_recovery_from_rsi http://edgecase.net/articles/further_recovery_from_rsi Recovered from 1-2% working capability to 90% (with some ongoing costs e.g. visits to osteopath). There's certainly a mental component (you can get stuck in an emotional loop), so I haven't ruled out Sarno, mental recalibration etc. But I will say that dealing with the pain via direct loosening treatments of knotted muscle is almost definitely the right first step. Hope you find these articles useful, and good luck.
