This article further articulates what Dr. Sarno says about scans, herniated discs, and pain. Basically it says that just because a scan shows that you have an abnormality, it doesn't mean that the abnormality is the cause of your pain.

Yes, it was interesting that the Dr. dismissed the torn cartilage as "erroneous" but then embraced the even more nebulous, catch-all "arthritis."

good article. My fav quote:
"But in many cases it is just not known whether what is seen on a scan is the cause of the pain. The problem is that all too often, no one knows what is normal."
TMS is normal.
Ok, one more:
"“I continue to live with this, whatever they call it, this arthritic knee,” she said."
hahah, whatever they call it. Call it TMS, baby. |

Wish they would have taken it one step further and mentioned Sarno and TMS. |
