I just had to share this since I thought of us when I saw it this morning -- The cover of the October Reader's Digest says "50 Secrets Your Surgeon Won't Tell You" and on page 118, Secret #22 is:
"Some problems just don't fix well with surgery, like many causes of back pain. My advice? Grin and bear it. Some surgeons vehemently disagree. They say 'Oh, you have a degenerative disk, and that must be the culprit. Let's fix it.' But many people have a degenerative disk with no pain. There isn't a lot of evidence that we're helping very many people." Kevin B. Jones, MD
I know this is nothing new to any of us here, and we disagree with the "grin and bear it" but I'm so happy to see that a lot of people are going to read this that might not otherwise have known and maybe this will help them avoid unnecessary surgery and even lead them to learn about TMS.  |
