I’ve been struggling with chronic neck and shoulder pain for approximately 8 years. I’ve had a cervical fusion and also a labral repair surgery. Neither surgery offered me any relief whatsoever. That’s when I began to convince myself that the pain had to be in my mind. I found Sarno’s book about a month ago after someone on HN mentioned it. I have not been able to completely shake the pain but I have found myself being more productive. Whenever the pain is really getting to me, I just tell myself “focus on your breath, it’s all on your head.” Then I’m usually able to handle my business for the day even though the pain is still there nagging me; I just choose not to focus on it and let it ruin my day. Since reading the book, I’ve been able to have about 3-4 decent days per week when before I was experiencing debilitating pain daily.
