Chronic pain takes an immense physical toll on the body, affecting all aspects of daily life. The symptoms, when coupled with the uncertainties of misdiagnoses and ineffective treatments, create a world of fear and anguish. In My Pain-Body Solution: A Journey to the Other Side of Suffering (River Grove Books), Michael J. Murray chronicles his difficult battle to conquer undiagnosed pain.
Murray confides his emotional torment and near collapse as numerous doctors—most of whom don’t actually take the time to truly listen to their desperate patient—promise relief but only deliver ineffective treatments, contradicting diagnoses, and often dispassionate care. In the end, Murray’s chance discovery in a book on back pain leads to a dawning awareness of the emotional root of his near-constant agony.
Interspersed with spirited vignettes that reflect on the beauty of nature and Murray’s love of the outdoorsman’s life, the book follows Murray as he digs deeper into the medical and therapeutic disciplines connecting the mind and body. In an accessible and engaging layman’s voice, Murray uncovers and explains how seemingly benign experiences from his past manifest as physical and emotional pains in his present.
“If you are suffering from pain and looking for answers, Mike Murray’s book, My Pain-Body Solution, is a must read,” says Brendan Carney of Acupuncture North. “We are lacking patient-centered stories about pain that offer valuable information. This book is both an excellent resource on the current state of mind-body medicine and a trail map for those suffering from unexplained chronic pain.”
Murray’s recounting of his journey is honest and vulnerable, and anyone who is suffering from chronic physical or emotional pain or knows someone on this difficult path will appreciate his insights on
- the deep connection between mind and body;
- the inspiring, innovative methods that can cure physical and emotional pain; and
- how to heal our inner selves to heal physical pain.
“I wrote this book while I was in extreme pain, both physically and, as it turned out, emotionally,” Murray said. “I’ve learned many lessons along the way. It is my hope that you will be inspired by the teachings I have received. My wish is that this impacts you and those around you in a positive way.”
“Michael J. Murray points you toward understanding pain, its personal message, and its ultimate relief,” said Tina Welling, author of Writing Wild: Forming a Creative Partnership with Nature. “Murray’s story is riveting, and it’s your story as well. His persistence in tracking down the truth and the inspiring self-awareness that resulted will set you on your own path to a new relationship with your body. My Pain-Body Solution is an enjoyable read while serving as a guide to living more fully.”
This eye-opening memoir is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to truly feel better and enjoy a heightened sense of well-being. Pick up your copy of My Pain-Body Solution today and keep up with Michael Murray’s latest endeavors by visiting mypainbodysolution.com.
