Wow I just read this whole article. I was familiar with the concepts he was speaking about regarding chronic pain. There’s an actual condition called amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome (AMPS) that aligns directly with what he said. I went through treatment for amps several years ago and it didn’t help and actually made my real back issue worse. I did have surgery Jan 2021 but unfortunately I have to have another one because I got reinjured. I am going to read the book and look at the website he mentioned. Thank you for this.
