Lower back pain?

I used to get laid up with extreme back pain about every 6-8 months from the time I turned thirty until about 10 years ago, (I'm now 60). A visitor at my bed and breakfast recommended reading Dr John Sarno's book on healing back pain. I read it skeptically and didn't really buy into his theory, but it worked! I went 10 years totally free of back pain (other than mild muscle soreness when I overdo some new activity) since reading his book. But in the last year I've had two occasions where arthritis has caused enough pain in my back to limit swimming for a few weeks, but I still am a fanatic supporter of Sarno's theory. Over the years I have given copies to several acquaintances, almost all have reported the same miraculous results. It's a quick read, inexpensive, non invasive and has some carryover value to other types of pain. I consider it one of the most valuable learning experiences of my life.
