Difficult
Cases
In
order to help people understand more about my BMSA Chronic Pain Program
I'd like to offer some "tough" cases that explain why so many people
experience such fast and permanent relief even when they've suffered
for
many years, and have tried so many other treatments in the past.
I often have chronic pain patients telephone or email to ask if I can
guarantee they'll be amongst the 95% of people who get miraculous
results. I want to make it clear that I cannot give that
guarantee.
The best indication of whether or not a patient will get total
elimination or reduction of their pain is how long they've suffered.
So it doesn't matter how severe your pain is, it doesn't matter that
you may have actual joint/disc damage, it doesn't matter if you have
nerve damage.
Simply put, despite all of these things, the longer a person has had
pain, the more likely they'll get total relief very quickly, even
immediately.
Why? Because the longer they've suffered, the more likely it
is
that their body is producing TRUE chronic pain. And as I've
already explained, TRUE chronic pain isn't directly associated with
injury or damage. True chronic pain is produced by the body irrespective of
injury.
Remember I told you about the interesting study on spinal damage and
chronic pain? And it turned out that there was no match?
That's
right, many people with no damage had severe pain, and many people with
severe damage had no pain.
Most doctors
agree that injury has little bearing on chronic pain, they
just don't know what to do about it apart from giving you medication as
if it were some kind of headache!
The reason we've been so successful in treating chronic pain where
other methods have failed, is because we address the actual cause of
the pain - the conditioned responses that your nervous system has
accumulated. These turn your nervous system into something
like a
car alarm that goes off just because there is a tiny breeze.
Car
alarms aren't capable of learning, but your nervous system is.
And as you'll see from the cases below, it learns very
quickly
and very well!
Three Examples
of Difficult Cases Where All Other Treatment Had Failed
|

Case Study: Male, 32
years of age, severe phantom pain:
"Peter"
was referred to us by his doctor. He had become paraplegic 8
years
earlier after a quad bike accident on a farm, and had suffered
unbearable shooting pains down his back and into his hips and legs.
Various treatments had failed to make any difference to his chronic
pain, even
though the strong medication he was taking left him spaced out and
barely able to think.
The
reason that other treatments had failed is that they failed to address
the cause of the pain. Peter's nervous system had "learned"
to
"go off" in response to so many things that he was in
constant
pain. Our job was to "mess up the learning" so that his
nervous
system completely forgot to trigger pain.
You
can easily understand this concept if you think about learning the
multiplication tables. Most adults know these tables
automatically. But if I got you to start saying the
multiplication tables out loud, and at the same time I started randomly
and rapidly calling out numbers, you'd find that you'd quickly lose the
ability for automatic recall!
The
BMSA Chronic Pain Program precisely and successfully "messes up the
learning" of your nervous system, so it forgets to produce pain
signals. Peter was one of the lucky 50% who achieved 100%
pain
elimination on the first day of treatment, and was still completely
pain free 2 years later.

Case Study: Female, 58 years of
age,
severe chronic back pain:
"Beatrice"
self referred to our program after years of struggling with chronic
back pain
that was associated with extreme disc degeneration. Her
doctor had
told her that her only hope was spinal fusion surgery.
She
was on strong analgesic medication, and yet reported that her pain
level was almost constantly "8 out of 10" - very high. She
was unable
to hold her small grandchild, and had had to cut back on working hours
as a corporate librarian, and was now faced with forced
retirement solely due to her incapacitating chronic pain.
Studies
consistently show that deterioration of spinal vertebrae and discs is
not correlated with reported pain, or with the levels of reported pain.
So even though their doctor may feel that the situation is
hopeless, we always feel very confident when presented with such a
patient
because we know that the pain is being generated as true chronic pain.
We
worked with Beatrice to identify her chronic pain
patterns and used BMSA to
interrupt those. Some people think that this is what the TENS machine
does, but in fact the TENS machine doesn't have any lasting effect, and
we now know this is because it doesn't have any way of permanently altering
chronic
pain patterns, and does not alter the patterns in the
right way.
For
instance one of
Beatrice's "pain patterns" was her internal thoughts about how the
damaged area of her spine "looked". Of course she couldn't
really see
this but readily complied with our request to describe it "from the
inside". We had Beatrice talk about and picture this area as
we used
BMSA with her.
This
is just
one example of the myriad possibilities of issues which are most
definitely involved in the production of chronic pain.
Beatrice's
outcome was that she was able to decrease her chronic pain very
significantly
and no longer required surgery. She stopped taking her
analgesics and
reported a pain level of 1-2, which she could easily tolerate after
years of agony. She was now able to lift her grandchild, and
increased
her working hours instead of the planned decrease.
Could
we have done more? Perhaps, but Beatrice was very happy with
what we
had achieved together and wanted to stop her chronic pain treatment program
and get on with her
life. And who could blame her for that when she now had so
much to
enjoy!

Case Study: Female, 48
years of age, chronic pain from full-body rheumatoid arthritis:
"Patricia"
was a fascinating patient who self referred to us for smoking cessation
treatment. However she was in such pain that she was finding it
difficult to focus on
the treatment and it seemed more practical for us to suggest that
perhaps we could help her to be more physically comfortable before
proceeding.
In
this case we didn't feel that we could have very much impact because
Patricia's hips and knee joints were actually grating on one another.
She felt not only the pain, but the physical sensation of
bones
grinding. Her chronic
pain was so severe that she could walk only
with the
greatest difficulty, and in fact said that she was about to purchase a
motor scooter because she simply found it so agonising to be mobile.
We
first identified the direct pain patterns relating to the hips and
knees and were surprised to achieve an immediate 100% elimination of
her chronic pain
in
those areas. Patricia got up and walked about the room with
no
difficulty but with some awkwardness. She explained that
although
there was absolutely no pain, she could still feel the bones grating.
We
didn't believe we could do anything about that but offered to try,
which Patricia accepted. So now we turned our attention to
the direct
sensory patterns associated with the grating sensation and were more
than a little surprised when Patricia reported that this also had
completely disappeared.
Patricia
was able to walk around the consultation room with total ease and no
pain or discomfort whatsoever. This was a very emotional
moment for her of
course!
Patricia
did not
return for more treatment but we ran into her at a furniture exhibition
several months later and were delighted to see her walking around,
although with a slight hobble. On asking after her health and
expressing delight that she was able to be mobile, Patricia denied that
she had any lasting effect and claimed to be "right back at square
one", in full denial of the fact that she was doing something
she
had not been able to do previously.
We
learned a great deal from Patricia, with the primary lesson being that
sometimes fast isn't good. Patricia most certainly would have
benefited from a far slower paced chronic
pain management program or chronic pain treatment program,
and is a good example of
people who need more time to absorb and deal with improvement in
smaller steps rather than the shock of huge change.
We
enjoy telling Patricia's story in order to share our own learning, and
also as a teaching story for patients, to help them to identify ways in
which they themselves might sabotage their success. Being
human, we're
all capable of that.
