I identify with this so much it hurts. What was the book by the back surgeon?
It has a terrible title, but it is an excellent and well-researched book. It’s applicable to far more than just back pain.
Back In Control by Dr David Hanscom. https://a.co/d/85gjHQ5
I also have back injuries. I blew out a disc in my lumbar spine and I have an artificial disc in my neck. Not as bad as your injuries (from what I’ve seen you write), but still painful. My neck hurt really bad even years after surgery and physical therapy. I think it was mostly emotional trauma and food intolerances reactivating old painful neural pathways. The book helped me deal with all that.
