Tense Back Muscles
Tense back muscles were a big problem for me during the 18 years I suffered from
acute
and
chronic back pain.
My pain started out as cycles of acute flare ups followed by periods of
fear
and nervous anticipation of the next dreaded attack. As I got older, my pain became steady and chronic. Basically my back always ached to some extent and hurt severely some of the time.

My Tense Back Muscles
I noticed a long time ago that I was susceptible to
back muscle tension
whether or not my back was hurting at that given time. It seemed like no matter how hard I tried to relax, my muscles just would never truly become loose. Even when I slept, I would wake up in the middle of the night and feel tension in my neck and lower
back muscles.
I never really thought too much about it, nor did the numerous
doctors
and therapists whom I consulted about my pain and muscular tension. As my pain got worse and worse, I began to educate myself about the real nature of
back pain
in general and specifically, my own torturous spinal conditions.
Tense Back Muscles Education
The more I learned about my diagnoses of
herniated discs
and
degenerative disc disease,
the less my symptoms made any clinical sense. I had pain when and where none was indicated by my condition and did not have pain when symptoms would be appropriate. My doctors had no answer to this puzzling question and wrote me off as someone "trying too hard and thinking too much". THINKING TOO MUCH ??? Of course I was thinking...someone had to and it was obvious to me that these doctors did not care about why my pain would not go away despite a range of treatments lasting the full 18 years of my suffering.I began to uncover suspicions that my pain had been
misdiagnosed
all along. I learned more about the virtually universal nature of
psychosomatic pain syndromes
and more specifically,
psychological back pain.
I never thought in a million years that my very physical back pain could be the result of anything except a
spinal abnormality.
I was
conditioned
by the medical system to accept their diagnoses blindly and go along with the treatment plan, regardless of the skewed logic or dismal results. Well, now I was on to something and I was done being a victim…to the pain or the medical system.
Recommendation on Tense Back Muscles
I learned that most patients with
unresolved back pain
are really suffering from a psychogenic condition. The symptoms are completely real and physical, but the causation is psycho-emotional. The tenseness in my muscles had been there all along due to repressed and unresolved emotional conflicts, fears and memories from my formative years. I was shocked and amazed that these “ancient” issues could hold any power over me so much later in life. However, using
knowledge therapy
I soon became 100% sure that my pain had indeed been the result of these emotional processes all along. I overcame my pain and all the associated symptoms. I became stronger and healthier than ever before. I finally got rid of that muscle tension that plagued me my entire life. I was free of the pain. I was free of ineffective medical treatments. I was finally truly free... free of the emotionally charged issues that caused me all this suffering. Do you want to be free too?
