Hi Will! I'm so glad you have found this work, as it seems that you have ticked all the boxes when it comes to treating it physically/structurally, culminating in surgery. Given this, in a world where you don't know about TMS and if the surgery doesn't have the desired effect, then that can...

Love this! Great to hear from you :)

Hi! Have you done the Structural Education Program here? That would be a great place to start - it does sound like TMS :)

Spot on! Was going to type this but perfectly said :)

That's very telling! A big piece of TMS evidence - I'll attach this also in case you haven't seen it - it's probably the best way to assess for TMS. the FIT criteria by Dr Schubiner - https://www.themindbodyapproach.com/_files/ugd/bd131c_e66345ae74d6423f8a1c86a8a7774f3a.pdf :)

Definitely! I would say it doesn't make sense for you to have symptoms in general - you were told it would be fixed within 8-12 weeks and you still have symptoms, so that is a strong TMS indicator. I'm not sure what more PT exercises will do to help if it was primarily a strength issue - I would...

Hi! I think my main question out of all of this is what is the purpose of you going to PT? Because it sounds a bit like you're going at the moment and just hoping for the best. I would get a bit more deliberate about it and analyse it when it comes to TMS. You should use the PT to your...

That's pretty quick in TMS world! You've done very well :)

Hi! This has me confused, because if you could do up to 22k steps for 7 days in a row with no pain whatsoever, how can you be 100% confident that your hamstring is injured? Add to that that the scans were clear. When I read you're happy to realise it I thought, are you? Because it risks...

Love the insight and realisation :)

I would take from this that you are more than talented enough to receive the praise and appreciation that you desire (nothing wrong with that), without needing the people pleasing :)

I think it's so crucial to let those two truths exist side by side - we often assume I feel that if the second one is true then we individually must have been at fault and the reason for the treatment, which sets us up with poor self-esteem. Our younger selves, understandably, can't hold those...

It can be incidental for sure - have you attempted to treat it from a physiotherapy perspective? That can be your best friend here (I'm not necessarily recommending you do, more asking if you have), as if it hasn't responded as expected to treatment, then that's even more indicative of TMS...

The way you worked through this was fantastic! Goosebumps! :)

So true! This should be pinned somewhere :)
