I had knee problems, stomach problems, wrist problems, headaches, and allergies before being stricken with unbelievable back pain. As I worked my way through each of these conditions, it never occurred to me that as one ended, another began. Reading this, you must think, WOW, Sensei was a sick guy his whole life!!!

My mind had been trying to distract me for years with only limited success using other pain conditions. When it found back pain, it found the answer. This is the reason I was able to overcome my other health problems, but the back pain was simply stronger than I was.
