Hi
Sorry for taking so long to reply. To answer your questions - I didn't try having blocks. The only thing I had tried was going to a physio - which made me a lot worse because he pushed me too much and I wasn't able to listen to what my own instincts were telling me. He was also a really horrible man - he made me cry several times. The whole thing was really counter-productive because after I'd see him my pain would be so much worse I couldn't do anything for days. My own program of little and often worked so much better. I could increase what I was doing by small degrees. The physio was too impatient.
I did try amytriptaline (sp?) but this had no effect and gave me bad headaches, so I stopped pretty quickly. I tried acupuncture - this gave me relief - but only for a day at a time.
To anyone trying John Sarno - keep going - don't give up.
My thoughts are with you all. Don't give up hope.
