Ace1 and Andy: I’d like to clarify a couple of things. When I wake my back isn’t in pain but I know it is about to happen. I feel as if I’m walking on eggs. I know that bending down or getting up after sitting will set it off. As the day wears on my back doesn’t hurt that much after sitting awhile. Last night after reading your posts I was able to stand up with absolutely no pain! This morning it came back even though I tried talking to myself about all the good things I was about to do. Some time ago my doctor told me that the pain was due to “jelling” whatever that is? Thanks for your insight.

You are conditioned to feel the pain at the same time every day.

You are conditioned to feel the pain upon doing these activities.
It takes time to break the conditioning. TMS is a bad habit formed over many years and it will not go away easily. You have to fight through it. You have to truly accept the benign nature of the symptoms and the huge role of conditioning. Learn to dismiss the pain, even laugh at it. You're on to the tricks your mind is playing and you won't let it get away with it anymore.
Stop focusing on the 'where', 'when', and 'why' of the pain and start focusing on living your life as if you had no pain.
