O My Aching Back!

Back pain is the pits!

I've had my fill. It started in second grade. I had spinal menengitis and they gave me a spinal tap. I remember walking back to my bed bent over cuz I couldn't straighten up. A nurse in the hall enroute slapped me on the back and said, "straighten up dearie". I eventually did.

Several years later my back "went out" for the first time while playing baseball. I swung hard at a pitch and hobbled home. Spent several days in bed.

Next time I was tossing bales of hay in my farm community. It seemed to happen every couple years.

Then I ended up in the hospital with a bulged disk. That was an ordeal. I couldn't turn or sit up. I think the brightest spots in those days were "time for pain meds". Anyway, that's a looong story. It's a miraculous one so maybe I'll tell it another time.

All of that to say I really understand back pain and REALLY appreciate that it's no longer part of my life. No, I didn't have an operation. I read a couple books that changed my life. The first one is "Pain Free" by Pete Egescue. That book enabled me to turn back pain around and kick it out. Then another book by a guy named Hanna, "Somatics" helped even more and I have a healthy back again and know how to keep it so.

I remember when I started it would take maybe 3 days to turn off the pain. Now I practice 10 minutes of prevention 3-5 times a week and the pain doesn't visit anymore. YIPEE!

Somebody out there may be in a world of pain and wanting to do something about it other than surgery which does not deal with the real
cause. These books are in my library, check yours.

I've experienced wonderful results through prayer so if anyone wants that I'm glad to help. You can email me at bewellbewealthy@mac.com.

Blessings!
