| A friend of mine said she has 2 vertabras that are closing together and she is in terrible pain as a result. Has anyone ever heard of this? |

Just listened to Healing Back Pain by Sarno. (Again) He discredits this almost entirely. It's in chapter 2 of the audio book. Not sure where it is in my paperback, but it's in there. Essentially, he believes the vast majority of physical conditions blamed for back pain are being falsely accused. Rather, the TMS process is at work... and the pain is merely a symptom. It's reported that a huge percentage of people have these "normal abnormalities" with no pain.
That said, you should recommend that she goes through a full examination to rule out anything larger, if she hasn't already.
Otherwise, you may want to send her here to look around a bit, or suggest one of the books by Schubiner or Sarno.

Sorry Shawn, I just realized you had 1100 posts. LOL! You clearly know all of what I wrote already.
In short, I've only heard of what you're talking with regards to "pinched nerves" which Sarno calls "mostly fantasy."
