Alex B. How do know if a new pain is TMS?

Question
I've gotten rid of most of my symptoms, but every now and then something new pops up: knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist, etc. I don't want to just assume every new symptom is TMS, because what if I actually injured my rotator cuff or ACL? If I treat it like TMS, it'll make the injury worse.

Then again, I don't want to run to the doctor every time I have a new pain.

Any advice on how to navigate this dilemma?
