Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Nerve pain: Please consider using a mind-body approach developed by John Sarno, MD. You can do a search for his work on the net. It can be very effective but you need to get beyond any prejudices that only physical interventions can help. Please continue to let your doc monitor you. Peace and good health.
