In February of this year I suffered a car accident from which I sustained damage to 3 cervical disks (read neck portion of the column) that produced chronic pain in my right arm, loss of strength and loss of mobility. After extensive and very expensive tests I underwent a surgery in May 08 (about 3 months ago) to replace 2 disks and have a plate introduced to return the curvature to my neck. I have had physical therapy and many expensive drugs with minor improvement to my pain. After hearing about EFT I ordered the Foundational Library DVDs so I could give this process a good try. Ive been trying it out but only achieve minor improvements to the pain in my shoulder and arm. Any suggestions out there would be helpful since I understand that some are more difficult to eliminate than others. thx, Javier

Thank you soo much Karen for your loving email and desire to help. What you say is very logical and rings true in me. Please expand on the negative self talk since I think that there may be a good amount of that as an ingredient in my condition. I currently feel a lot of pressure because I also lost my job due to my surgery and are currently looking for a new one. Luckily I have a passive income (Im the only breadwinner in a beautiful family of two young kids and a wife) that pays for the basic necessities but Im surely feeling the stress of not being able to provide a higher standard of living right now and sometimes have to do miracles to stretch the money we do have coming in. I also have a column in a newspaper here and got sued by a lowlife developer that was scamming people and I wrote a couple of articles on him. The night of the accident I went to trial regarding that case which will take some time to be resolved. I definitely feel a little anxious because I dont want to lose my most productive years and instead of making money Im just surviving. Ive come to think that all of that is playing its part and did a little tapping on the "trial movie" to some degree of advancement. Nevertheless do tell me more about attacking negative self talk or stressful emotions arising from my current condition. Thank you again for your kind support. Take care, Javier
