I Need to Vent

For 3 years i fought my former back surgeon to get my MRI on my neck because I knew something was wrong with it and he told me me that it was all in my head and would not get me the MRI! My family doctor ordered an MRI right away because i have some ulnar nerve damage and he needed to know where it came from! Well lo and behold i have a c5 and c6 complete herniation of the discs and c7 is bulging and off to the neurosurgeon i go when I can get the appointment and because of the 3 years wait there maybe no other option other then surgery! I am so pissed off I could spit at the former surgeon who said it was in my head thanks to him and his attitude i am facing a surgery that shouldn't have to happen!

I don't begrudge someone using his techniques at all but if i was to ignore what is going on in my neck i could do some real damage to myself and it is already bad enough to cause nerve damage!There is no other choice for me at this point but the neurosurgeon if my mind could me better i would do it in a heartbeat but i have seen my mris and there is no way i can ignore this!

@Paige42986: Not trying to diagnose you...just saying that I've had a "ruptured L5" and leg pain for 17 years and it hasn't been helped by surgery...but I'm now working through Dr. Sarno's info and it is already helping.

In fact, I know 8 people with back and neck pain and none of them who have had procedures done have been helped by the surgeries. Again, I'm not saying you won't, just sharing my experiences.

I am not mad I am just saying I have to see what is going to eventually happen here!

Actually, Sarno doesn't teach mind-healing.

He simply helps you eliminate the mind-source of the pain. The pain is real. The physical illness is real. Who doesn't understand how unresolved stress can lead to ulcers?

Ulcer's are real and the stress that generates it is real, but the mind is where the ulcer's need to be "cured" (because eating antacids and taking pepcid is a symptom treatment, not a source eliminator.)
