    Hi, I'm new to this, my physiotherapist recommended I watch your channel and a few more like flippinpain etc. And I can very much relate to most of what you have explained so far, so I'm gonna keep watching. I think there's promise here. When you've mentioned in I think this video or another about how pain is processed all over the nervous system and not only at the midway spine area, and not only the brain, but is processed in many more areas which makes sense to my own insights on my own pain management. Areas that include areas of high nerve activity in the gut, which some say is the second brain. And many more. This makes things "seem" more complicated than conventional science, biology and medicine etc, but I believe the most complex of designs can still have very simple purposes and functions in common with other systems and designs. That's what makes it genius! So now I can't help thinking about Occam's razor which can be boiled down to the concept that it's best to keep things simple. This rule of thumb has been employed throughout history, with many philosophers and scientists agreeing that, all other things being equal, the simpler theory is better. In my opinion balance plays a huge part in how our whole body and mind works. Can this be/has it been applied in mapping and understanding the body and its many many wonders in the past imperically but some ways in the wrong direction? , and if so has this been a "getting the way of real progress and breakthrough" sort of habitual thinking or with all the information about us human beings as a whole, a lot of information! And not all of the theories in sync,.. is taking the simplest answers and applying those serving to take the hugely complex and serving to make it all simple the best way? Or just another way to make money. Or do, if it is, looking at how doctors, scientists throughout history have a lot of the same habits in their learning and thinking processes and approaches to problems, how much of it all is actual fact occams razor it might just oversimplify what may be something that can't be simplified by studying only the internal things without looking into the past, and how we lived 100 years ago. How life all around us has an impact. From what I understand about the body it will heal itself automatically if it has the proper materials to heal it will heal more efficiently and effectively with finest of quality and balanced values and measures of- Vitamins Minerals and Nutrients Which in the most healthiest of dietary plans even with the best food you'd need a truck load a day of veg alone just to meet the daily essentials and just to get the amounts of essentials you need takes industry and a whole load of packaging, and time to prepare and even more to eat it all because it sucks! Because its not as good as it should be, basically organic food is what our ancestors ate for free and we are now paying more for what we should have as a necessity. and thats just not practical nor right, obviously, The cause of our food being so poor in nourishment is mostly due to overfarmed under replenished soil that has been directly linked to the industrial age taking over, I could go on about greed but I'd rather spend my energy on what I can change, After industrial age established no one used their wood burning stoves anymore there was an electric everything a new invention every week! So the ashes from the Woodburning stoves that used to go back into the soil to replenish it as natural fertiliser, carbon etc, the home grown veg and fruit etc being grown and picked for you now meant abandoning the garden that was keeping you healthy in more ways than just nourishment, so not even the plants are getting nourished properly! More time was diverted into work to pay for all of the utilities our ancestors didn't even need it was a luxury a fad that never went away because it meant no going back and you were now working for the power companies, each months wages it now goes to all of these useful but not essential things, and it's called progress lol, seems like going backwards in order to go forwards disguised as marketing was the thing, still is, we only believe its all essential because that is what we are now born into, it's how cities are designed. Our lives are dependant on, no wonder the over prescription of opiods to only deal with(uneffectivly) the symptoms- pain, was so easy for the pharmaceutical industry to push and promote as a cure back then. And that's the final nail in the coffin unless there's a clear path through this modern day life on how to live our lives healthy and wealthy, without the cronic pain from overworking and being tired because of the constant battle with cronic pain. I think our minds not only create oversensitive protective layers of protection for the areas affected by physical pain, it can do the same in any case where there's a chance of harm to any part of the whole body mind and soul. And its all related, that's the simple part, it's self preservation. You can either own it or it will own you. Our easy lives might be the biggest problem it may be a part internal part external problem. So although I believe you in what you endeavour in finding out about pain, and how to manage or even cure it, I believe that's only possible if you take into consideration the direction we are all heading into now because of our dependencies on technologies and how the world works today compared to 100 years ago. I hope it wasn't too much, I like history I like the facts and forming a theory is fun to do! Kind regards

      Hi @jayterra2060, Thanks for the question. This is not a forum for medical advice and we are not physicians. But I can say for *some people* but not all, it is possible to heal pain that is attributed to those diagnoses through neuroplastic retraining of the brain. I would suggest 1. learning about the FIT criteria (at this site: www.thismighthurtfilm.com/how-to-assess-pain ) and 2. beginning to assess the symptoms yourself. If you have the resources, you can contact physicians like Becca Kennedy, MD, John Stracks, MD, or PTs like Jim Prussack who are very skilled at differentiated structural damage from neuroplastic symptoms. They can help you with the medical assessment. But I would heartily recommend exploring further. Wishing you the best of luck! Kent coach, www.mindbodyinsight.net

  • @jimcoon
    @jimcoon Před 2 měsíci

    what happened to Dr. John Sarno and the millions of people he helped cure using TMS treatment? Seems all those who previously followed him, or were mentored by Sarno, have completely discarded his premise that psychosomatic pain is caused by the subconscious mind restricting blood flow to muscles. That worked for so many, but now the “new deal” is neuro-plastic pain, somatic tracking etc. Why is Schubiner and others so quick to ditch all that Sarno accomplished?

    • @ThisMightHurt
      @ThisMightHurt Před 2 měsíci

      @jimcoon Thanks for your comment. As I see it, Howard Schubiner, MD and many of the other practitioners credit Dr. Sarno frequently and carry on the main thrust of his work-seeing that the brain can trigger symptoms because of stress, anxiety, fear, trauma, and other factors, and can recover by addressing those things. Many have set aside the reduced blood flow ("ischemia") theory because it has not held up to scientific scrutiny, yet nevertheless Dr. Sarno was a visionary who brought healing to thousands... The neuroscience has advanced quite a bit since Dr. Sarno's books were authored, and the now the most common theory for how/why symptoms are created by the brain is called predictive coding. The brain is always constructing and predicting our momentary experience from a combination of prior beliefs and incoming sensory information, and those prior beliefs can keep the pain or other symptoms in the "on" position even when there's healthy tissues. It's probably useful to note, that if an explanation works for you and other people to eliminate or ward off pain, then there's no need to alter it. Thanks, Kent

    I have lived with long term chronic pain due to lower back issues for over thirty years. This spinal tissue damage is still present. Big question. I have now watched a great many of these retraining the brain videos and similar treatments. The vast number of these videos talk about therapy and methods of adjusting the brain when the tissue damage is no longer present. My big question is this, Can these treatments help if the tissue damage causing this pain is still present ? A definitive answer to this question would be so very helpful. Chronic pain has dominated my life for over thirty years. Pain relieving drugs have come close to killing me on several occasions. Over the years I have tried so many third party treatments without success. Do I need to accept the pain and cope with life in the best I can or is there really a way for treatments like the one in this video helping. All advice and help would be very much appreciated.

      @RICKYDENNIS49 hello! I'm sorry to hear about your lower back pain issues and the damage that is still present. It's not possible to answer specific people's medical questions in this forum. But I can say that it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the list of tissue damage conditions that leads to back pain (cancer, fractures, infections, extreme herniated discs) and those that most of the time do not (bulging disks, degenerative disk disease, sciatica, most other herniated disks, etc.). If medical treatment has not resulted in eliminating the pain, then there is a good chance that neuroplastic processes are driving the pain, rather than damage. But an individual assessment would be necessary to make any conclusions. You can learn about these parameters for assessing damage vs. neuroplasticity on two pages of our website: HOW TO ASSESS PAIN FOR NEUROPLASTICITY: www.thismighthurtfilm.com/how-to-assess-pain BACK AND NECK PAIN RESOURCES: www.thismighthurtfilm.com/back-neck-pain Many, many people have been told a simple story by doctors that they have damage driving their symptoms, when the picture is more complicated than that. Wishing you luck with this process! Kent www.mindbodyinsight.net

    • @ThisMightHurt
      @ThisMightHurt Před 2 měsíci

      @RICKYDENNIS49 We can't speak to anyone's individual medical issues. My suggestion would be to try to have a conversation with a mind-body informed doctor like Becca Kennedy, MD, John Stracks, MD, or Howard Schubiner, MD. The reason is that the vast majority of people with mind-body conditions have been told by doctors they have damage driving their symptoms. Musculoskeletal pain usually resolves within months or a year because of the body's innate ability to heal. So a conversation with a doctor may give you a new perspective. You can also assess your own symptoms for neuroplasticity using the FIT criteria. www.thismighthurtfilm.com/how-to-assess-pain While shifting belief about damage driving the symptoms is not necessary at the beginning of healing, it usually becomes part of the process at some point, as a person begins practicing mind-body awareness. It's important to rule out infections, cancer, extreme herniations, and fractures, but other problems that are labeled as spinal damage are not necessarily driving pain. While it is theoretically possible to have spinal damage that "never heals" or doesn't respond to medical treatment, that is very rarely the case upon close examination by a mind-body physician, at least according to my observations. I am not a physician, it's best to consult with a physician. Wishing you luck.

      @randyburk142, it depends on the damage, and how long it's been since the injuries have happened. And there are a few practitioners who work from this perspective who don't make such a sharp distinction between damage-caused and mind-body-caused symptoms. Lara Birk, Phd ( www.thesagepractice.com ) and Lilia Graue MD's work might be worth looking into. (liliagraue.com ) Good luck! -Kent

The training you want to look for is Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy. These directories can be utilized to find therapists from one of those trainings: PPDA Directory, PRT directory, IEDTA directory, and Sirpa Directory (Europe-based).

      @@sixdegrees6434 Hi, you make a good point. I edited my answer for clarity. Nearly everyone develops herniated discs as part of the aging process, much like how skin gets wrinkled and hair turns grey, but aging does not cause pain, and most people with herniated discs have no pain associated with it. It's a correlation not a cause of pain for most people with chronic pain. Extreme herniated discs can cause pain but those are rare. We explain this in more detail in the film and the links I mentioned. Feel free to reach out with further questions, you can find us at tmhfilm@gmail.com. Thanks!

    During my CFS diagnosis they found out my back was torn up from the butt up. My rheumatologist was shocked that I have very little back pain. Said my back looked like I'd been in a bad car accident. They also diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome during an EMG. That was a total scock since I have no pain in that area at all. Of course no one could find the source of my cfs/fibro pain. Go figure.

    Hi, have you any suggestions for IBS and efficacy of using TMS alongside beneficial research on the gut brain axis, fodmap diet etc? Thanks!

    • @ThisMightHurt
      @ThisMightHurt Před 4 měsíci

      Hello, We put together a lot of resources on IBS here on our film's website: www.thismighthurtfilm.com/irritable-bowel-syndrome Most of the mind-body practitioners who approach IBS using this framework do not recommend a fodmap diet, as far as I'm aware. The idea behind neural-pathway brain retraining is that stress, anxiety, trauma, fear, and the brain itself are triggering the food-symptom dynamic, so there is no need to eliminate foods. All that's needed is various ways of calming the nervous system, reducing fear, and slowly, very slowly re-integrating foods. But if a fodmap diet is working there is no inherent problem with it.

      It's worth mentioning that according to the literature, about 80% of chronic pain conditions are not caused by structural injuries... Most doctors just look for some kind of physical injury that could possibly explain symptoms, and if they don't find anything, they have nothing helpful to offer unfortunately.

    Dr Schubert Your presence is comforting, your compassion and your non judgemental attitude towards pain is refreshing to see. We need more practitioners like you in this world. I am sorry that your position was let go, when one door closes another one opens and I’m sure there are better things coming your way ❤ As a chronic pain patient and also a Registered Nurse. I had an injury 10 years ago, suffering a hypoxic head injury and multiple thoracic vertebral fractures and cervical herniations. The fractures were unfortunately missed when the attending ED doctor did not look at my imaging. I was in agony for months as well as trying to deal with the effects of the head injury. I was off to a bad start and the past 10 years have been one setback after another due to the incompetence of many Specialists and the insurance scheme I am under. That has placed an enormous amount of unnecessary stressors upon me, while you are still trying to run a household, raise children, dealing with pain, loss of my ability to work, financial difficulties, isolation and grief at the loss of the life I was living before the injury took all of that away from me. I had also had a very neglectful and traumatic period between 0-14 years, now looking back the past emotional trauma was re triggered and bought to the forefront when I was feeling neglected by the medical teams who were meant to be treating me. Also having been a nurse and putting 100 percent of myself into my work, working to a holistic framework and treating my patients without judgement and great respect and compassion, I felt very overwhelmed by the lack of caring or compassion shown by these Drs. I had two major spinal surgeries - cervical and thoracic, after conservative treatments did not work. However my pain continued at high levels, yet no one believed me, drs dismissed me and insurance stoped covering treatments. I had no income due to my inability to work, I was still falling over, extremely fatigued, brain fog, Cervical radiculopathy symptoms, fainting spells, shortness of breath, pain when breathing and I felt dreadful. I had two Drs one a surgeon the other a vocational Dr, the vocational Dr made his money by doing assessments for my insurance company!!!!! He makes almost 1million a year, his contract gets renewed because he lies! His multiple multiple page document was full of untruths and my insurance stopped because of this assessment, the second corrupt one he had done one me. He basically said there was nothing wrong with my, that I was mental (yes I was very depressed at this time after all of the extra stress put upon me by medical professionals not listening to me and fobbing me off) and it’s all in my head and I should be back at work, there was not even a proper top to tie medical assessment carried out, he got me to squeeze his hands and checked my reflex’s that was it, I couldn’t even walk in a straight line in front of him my balance was so bad. The surgical assessment was the complete operate and he had many recommendations and stated that there was serious concerns in his thoughts but needed imaging to come to a proper conclusion. This assessment was ignored. That was the last straw for me. I understood there was some psychogenic pain, but I knew from my experience as a nurse that there was something wrong, my chest cavity had popped out the front, my back was hunched and I had forward head posture. I fought the case and even that took every ounce for energy out of me, there became a time that I became was so low that I attempted suicide. I won my case, paid to have my own imaging done, thank goodness I was able to loan money to do this, and the imaging results concluded there was a need to do further investigations. Last year after years end after being told I was faking it or that it was all in my head and it was hypochondria, (which it wasn’t, I’ve never complained about being unwell in my life , I was fit strong healthy and had never been to drs and my first hospital visit was to have my first child) it was found that my thoracic fusion from 2015 had failed. One of the screws was screwed into the intercostal ligament which attaches my rib to my spine, the levels above and below the fusion had herniated and there was herniations below and above the cervical fusion as well. There is osteoarthritis dotted about different levels as well as DISH syndrome (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis ) there are bone sours throughout my snifter, spine, shoulders, hips There was huperkyphosis of 90 degrees, it was 35 degrees in post op X-rays. I was unable to swallow, unable to eat, unable to take in a deep breath, getting heart palpitations, and very short of breath, on top of horrible pain. They had also taken me off all pain meds. I now have the metal ware out. I’m a little better now, and I’ve done a lot of work on the psychogenic pain part and I’m trying to remain positive despite the pain which is still there due to the biomechanics of my posture/spine. A total spinal reconstruction is dangerous and I truly do not think I would survive it. I am now about to start back at work, just 6 hours a day, two days a week, more for my mental health than anything else. Sorry for the vent, once I got going lol. But you are so right we need a safe place to express ourselves. Chronic pain is so much more than a physical symptom, so much goes on for a patient than just being sore. Life changes completely, we need medical professionals who listen, who do not judge us, who understand the complexities of chronic pain and the intelligence to go back to the beginning of other methods of pain treatments are not working in stead of just giving up and saying it’s all in your mind, that is not helpful, we need people who are compassionate and who are knowledgeable, by keeping up to date with new trends and who think holistically. I am at the point where I do not go to any drs anymore it is just traumatising and the fear that I will be made to feel inadequate, be called a liar, maddening to feel not good enough, brings back all of those old wounds and it’s just too much for my mental health right now. I am going to look into This therapy and give it a go! I’m just mumbling to myself here but I guess it’s therapeutic to express your emotions even if no one reads it or even if people think what a moron. I needed to get that out❤
