Yesterday I said I would give you some back pain stories.

Several years ago my husband and I took an aviation radio to be fixed. At the repair shop were two men, one of which was hobbling around all bent over, he could barely walk. He looked to be in much pain. My husband is the more forward of the two of us and he mentioned to him that he looked like his back was bothering him (to put it mildly). The man said he woke up like this. My husband said, “My wife can help you with that”. I saw incredulous and fear come across his face. I quickly said, “I won’t touch your back, in fact I won’t touch you at all, you will do it yourself.” Now he was intrigued. We sat down and I showed him the points I wanted him to tap on and we went through about 5 rounds. When he stood up he was amazed (as is usually the case). The pain was gone. He was walking upright again. His partner at the shop who witnessed the whole thing commented that he wasn’t twinging any more.

Then the rest of the story came out. The previous night his wife had a very bad asthma attack and he felt helpless to do anything. His body was accommodating him in feeling helpless. It is like the body says, “Oh, you can’t do anything about this but you should do something, well I will give you a real reason you can not do anything.” Then kapow! he was disabled (not able).

Another story involves an elderly lady who has to work to make ends meet. She is rather resentful that she should have to work at her age and she was telling me that working and lifting the heavy bottles at the store made her back hurt. I quizzed her a little bit and she came to realize that the back pain started when she was getting ready for work, before she even got there. This was obviously an emotional issue. I sat her down and did two rounds of tapping on the back pain. I then asked her how she felt. Well she was so startled by the change that it scared her and she did not want to go on.

The rest of the story is that she really enjoys the pain, the attention, the feeling of being a martyr and really doesn’t want to give it up. I know that if she was not so scared of losing the pain, within an hour we could eliminate the root emotional cause of the pain and she would not have it ever again. All we did at the time was greatly reduce it for that day. I have also found that emotional pain will often come back the next day but if it is consistently worked on each time it comes up it will finally give up and go away (that may take 2 –3 weeks). Or if the root cause is found and tapped out, it will go away for good.

The last story I will tell today is very interesting. I had a client who had back pain off and on, literally. When ever she put her bra on her back hurt. This lady was not heavily endowed. There was no reason for her back to be hurting because of the bra. For this client I had to dig into what the bra meant to her. Once we worked through this, the pain was tapped away.
