@Cactusflower Since Dr. Sarno mainly talks about rage I think I've focused too much on that and unconscious emotions. I always forget that fear and anxiety can be causes of TMS and that it isn't all unconscious emotions. Thanks again for taking the time to reply to me and help guide me along my...

Thanks @Cactusflower That was a helpful response. I definitely had an injury, but not in the areas that are giving me symptoms now and that is mostly healed anyway. I think my expectation is to not have pain and sensations in the body that are chronic. And also my fear and anxiety are banished...

I was doing really well pain and anxiety wise for a few months and had an accident which unfortunately has set me back. My injuries were situated near where I was having my symptoms previously. Now it becomes hard to figure out what is the injury vs TMS. I also developed scapular/neck pain...

Thanks @Kozas @Duggit and @Cactusflower . This gives me perspective that it is not a one size fits all approach. I watched a video from Dan Buglio/Pain Free You which really spoke to me. His approach is more fear based. A subscriber wrote to him and said that instead of trying to get rid of her...

So I went and saw Dr. Paul Gwozdz (TMS Dr) in NJ for an exam and sat in on his lecture. I learned a few new things and had a great visit with him going over everything in my life. His treatment/homework is to make a list of all things that can be causing your repressed rage. For example, your...

@JanAtheCPA I always appreciate your take on things. I had a stressful week last week and came down with what I thought was a cold, maybe allergies, not sure. But I started to panic thinking that now I'm going to have rhinitis symptoms along with other traditional pain symptoms and since they're...

Thanks @Cactusflower. I had a rough afternoon and was ruminating for a while. I finally had enough and just talked to my wife about all the things I am feeling and got it out there. It led me to intensely crying and then immediately following I felt a sense of relief emotionally and physically...

So a couple months ago I found out my mother has a genetic mutation called "lynch syndrome" which carries an increased risk for certain cancers. I then had to get tested and my test took 6 weeks to come back. I have a lot of health related anxiety, along with OCD and general anxiety. Needless to...

Thank you for this. Glad to hear it isn't unusual and that it is simple to combat. Will have to be more mindful during these times.

I noticed during times of stress or concentration I tend to hold my breath. Not for any long amount of time, maybe a few seconds or so. I notice too, when I am concentrating, stressed or working on a project for a while is when I feel more pain. I can assume that the involuntary breath holding...

About 5 months ago my low back pain flared, started to move to pelvic pain, then back to my low back, tension headache, left shoulder blade etc. Anxiety and depression went through the roof. Physical therapy didn't seem to help much other than teaching me to breathe better and the stretching...
