Too late for me to avoid the surgery route: I had spinal surgery in 2007, at age 21. I have read a lot of books. I had ups and down. Suicidal thoughts from time to time. I know this is 100% my fault: I am too stubborn to think a professional can understand or help me. I do agree with your...

I was re-reading this whole thread. Wow. What a time capsule. Thank you everyone that was kind enough to answer me.

Hello, buddy. I am 38 now, but still fighting the good fight. I never stop, I refuse to stop. I do weightlifing, calisthenics, now I am back to playing football (I mean real football or, as some call it, "soccer"). Imagine competing physically against 20-yr old kids in this condition. But hey...

OK. Just messaged JanAtheCPA.

Thank you. Book ordered. I will consider contact administration to get help. I don't know who Jan is but I'll found out. I'm seriously overwhelmed by the messages of hope and strength I'm getting from you people, and really am receiving all the positive vibes from you. It's pretty obvious...

I said completely the opposite. Thank you for reaching out. I completely agree with you.

Andy, your posts denote that you have a huge understanding of TMS. Thank you. God bless you.

Thank you very much for the way you've reached out. Holding deeply this belief that I can handle everything by myself, and it's hard for me to ask for help. To be frank: 1. I don't want to bother others; 2. I think that my problems are nothing given that so many people don't even have what to...

I'm re-reading the book that got me into TMS theory: Healing Back Pain Forever by Sensei Adam Rostocki. I'm in Portugal, so, no. Sent you a PM, buddy. Yes. Let's see the outcome of the MRI.

Went to the ortho's appointment. He "thinks" this might be related to FAI (a.k.a. Hip Impingement Syndrome). The symptoms match up. I have a MRI scheduled now. The kind of loop I'm in is familiar to me to the loop I was into 2007. This is a non-specific problem, a "syndrome", which is...

Absolutely. I was always a grade A student, but seemed like it was never enough. I am extremely perfectionist, harsh on myself when I fuck up (much more than on others), things like sex, sports, competitions, were never pleasurable for me due to this intense need of doing right, of 100% or 0%...

Hello all. 32 yr old male signing in, olympic weightlifter (recreational). Sad to say that I'm currently losing the battle with my TMS, I feel I'm being attacked from all over the place and my defenses are growing weaker and weaker. My TMS symptoms aren't new. Since kid I had multiple problems...

In my case, that's more than true. There are a lot of issues with my life that I've not honored my ancestors when it comes to solve them. I have not acted like a man. And I know those are not easy decisions to make, so the pain actually takes my mind away from it. I guess that it's true for many...

Look, we are all gonna make it one way or the other, so hang on in there.
