Hi Tj! I totaly sympathize with what you're going thru. My symptoms got worse also, and my healing seems to be going slow. One thing that helps me alot is to do the exercises lying down or sitting down. It's easier to go into a relaxed state that way and thus focus on feelin the energy. It's very hard to find the emptiness when pain is present. Also, I wonder if taking an analgesic a half hour before practicing would help? take care
