@jdkitkat129 my last trigger point injection appt was 3/26 this year. Canceled the appt which was scary, those shots kept me driving and walking and upright for at least 1-2 weeks, which had me counting days until next injection, if that stopped working the next option we were exploring was the shot they give you in the hospital.
But mid to late last year somehow ran across that book, and marked up so much of it that related to myself personally, that i grabbed a highlighter especially chapters 6-8, then passed it off to my pain doc, she took it home and checked it out, was 100 down with the idea but when I passed the script back, she said they can't see me any more per insurance, no shots no pills, on my own now, the sense of freedom is beyond liberating, not knowing nor caring about canes and placards any more, and those trigger points that one touch would have me on knees? Gone. Just gone.
For the first time in I don't know how long, the gait feels normal, even, steady.
Have 24 MRI's, Xrays CAT scans PET scans at radnet, about half for my MS and the rest for orthopedic, was non-ambulatory & mostly housebound for so long, was resigned to fate.

That all (started) changing when all that trauma was dealt with, started with a PTSD coach online, that was like opening up a Pandoras box that had been closed for many many decades.
And as that past slowly released it's grip, it was like you could feel the pain leaving the body, not all at once but slowly over time, then after a church service on 4/11 at 2:45 pm it was like POOF, legs came back. Limp vanished, have been "running" ever since.
Told everyone I know and they know you are speaking truth as they saw you using cane and placard for a long time.

John Sarno delves into the physical reality of psychosomatic disease processes. It is *very* real, the pain is real, but it is also very treatable.

Trauma can be a lot of things, events in life that then are reflected in our physical body. Death or divorce or loss or (name it) contribute to that process, the brain is very powerful, and also very protective, when our brain has been traumatized and shocked it can manifest in the body, sometimes even relocate to different areas.
