This Will Be My Third Copy, I Keep Giving Them Away

This is the best book I have ever found for relieving my back pain. It's so good that when a friend is having back problems, I give them a copy. I had a back injury many years ago, and drugs strong enough to make the pain go away also put me to sleep. Slowing working through the exercises in this book finally got me to pain free - no more waking up screaming in pain because I rolled over in bed in the middle of the night. You can tell I love this book! I've bought many back pain books, and this is the one I always go back to. The other ones just sit on the shelf and get dusty.

A superb book for pain relief

This book is great in that it gives levels (1-4) for your pain. When I started using this book I was dabbling between 4 and 3 alot. 4 is akin to a mouth of toothaches that are throbbing; 3 is a constant dull numbness that takes away concentration but allows menial labour and tasks to be performed; 2 is spasmodic pain or pain with certain movements; 1 is know it's there at all and doesn't bother me , hey I can function! It gives practical ideas and hints and help on what to do and makes you realize that sometimes rest is just necessary. Between this and Dr Michael Murray's Arthritis book you'll be back on track before long. Please try this book, it is superb and truly worth your money and time. If you have arthritis and are really willing to work with it this book will get you there. (BTW I am now mainly level 1! It's a great to be alive!)
