Yes, I am practicing TMS techniques. A little stiffness and soreness I attribute to arthritis. For instance I walked a couple of miles on uneven ground today carrying 20 pounds. My knee was stiff for a while after. Serious pain I attribute to TMS. I think stretching and strengthening will...

Thank you for journaling. It is amazing how active you have been amidst the symptoms. You are a warrior! I am having TMS knee pain. Xrays show arthritis (71 years) but not to the point of replacement. I am virtually pain free unless I put it under significant load and then it feels like I...

I haven’t done much work like journaling. I have been lucky enough to have a couple of book cures. After one doctor told me my spine had a defect I had back pain for two years. After another doctor told me my back was fine, the pain disappeared in the car never to come back. I had a shoulder...

I am a long time TMS struggler with many manifestations of pain. My latest is knee pain. It started slowly and got worse. My brother convinced me to get a cortisone shot which made the pain worse. The doctor noted arthritis in the knee but said it was not too bad and I was not a candidtate...

So my range of motion limitations and swelling in the knee could be entirely TMS?

I have the same thing going on right now. It has been going on a month. The doctor said mild arthritis, but nothing wrong that he could find. The knee is slightly swollen and warm to the touch. I have been walking and biking on it but it isn't getting better. I too am thinking TMS but the...

Well now I am more convinced it is TMS. I went to a physical therapist on friday who did some diagnosis work and he found a muscle that was tight as a drum. It felt TMS like when he tried to get it to relax. Dang that TMS. I still wonder why it gets worse with hard exercise which is the...

It started last May after I walked up about 500 steps. I had physical therapy and that didn't help much. MRI confirmed a torn labrum but only mild arthritis. I cannot find angry muscles around the hip no matter how hard I push. Deep ache. I had a cortisone shot three weeks ago and that...

I m trying to look at it logically. I have had TMS before. The pain is there all the time, sometimes worse, sometimes better, but there. You recognize it as TMS and start to exercise through it and it subsides and goes away. Here I start with no pain. I exercise for an hour and don't have...

So I have had it checked by a doctor. My question: Does TMS get worse with exercise? In my case one hour of playing tennis is fine. Two hours and it hurts for 2 days an then subsides.

I have a torn labrum and mild arthritis in that hip.

I am a long term TMS type and have overcome several episodes in various body parts. But I now have pain in a hip and of couse I am suspicious of TMS. But the hip only hurts if I exercise vigorously for more than an hour. It doesn't hurt if I just take it easy. This is the opposite of the TMS...

Watch a tennis match and see how those shoulders are used. They are back playing the next day. You cannot injure your shoulder with mild exercise.
