Re: Mindbody Therapy

"It's time for me to move on" I assume you are leaving the forum and getting with you pain free life. I wish you all the very best, I am going to re-read your threads on this. I am from the UK where treatment of this problem is far far more conservative than the US, as we have the NHS ever...

Re: New here, 18 and extremely worried

Is it possible to stand for part of the long lectures, I am hugely better than I was but I would never be able to sit that long even before all this PN stuff, sitting for long periods is so bad for us. I can do two hours now pain free tops, but I won't push my luck with any longer.

Re: Surgery Success Rate

I went to the pain clinic a month ago the NHNN in London UK, National Hospital for Nurolgy and neurosurgery.
