I listened to a Mel Robbins podcast interview with and am currently reading a book by Sanjay Gupta, MD called It Doesn't Have To Hurt. It's not just the body telling the brain it hurts, it's also your personal history with pain - whether in general or specific to the injury. I'm fascinated by this because of the reemergence of pain from a compressed SI disc. I can say in all honesty that when I first felt the pain I immediately thought "Shit. Here I go again." How much of my current pain is the memory of that pain from the original incident? I don't know. I'm only a couple chapters into the book and I'm hoping to find some techniques to use without pain killers.
I hope the MRI is conclusive for you Nic! Then I hope there is something actionable that comes from it. I'll be sending you good mojo!
