Jeff's TMS / PDP Success Story - Back and Neck Pain
Jeff developed intense upper back, shoulder, and neck pain with no injury during an extremely stressful period after his mother's death, and multiple surgeons disagreed about the cause — with scans showing only age-typical findings. Through mind-body materials he found via a pain psychologist, Curable, and Dr. Sarno's book, he reports being about 75-80% better: he stopped all medications and treatments, resumed heavy workouts, and now experiences only a mild, moving ache that no longer scares him. His account illustrates how scans showing age-appropriate wear and tear coexist with pain that comes and goes, and how fear of becoming like his mother had amplified his suffering.
