Hi Ella, I am glad to hear you were able to relate with my story. When you are dealing with pain, it is very natural to feel concerned. Ignoring it is a Sarno principle. Part of his treatment is ignoring the pain, resume physical activity. I don’t know what baseball poster is saying regarding...

Thanks Lizzy and MindBodyPT for your thoughts! Really, it helped me push forward the last couple of months. Unfortunately I still am having issues with my foot. I tried to simply ignore it and do things anyways. I thought that might be working but again the pain seems to still be there. I...

Thank you, Lizzy and MindBodyPT! It really helps to not feel so alone in all this. Lizzy, I do definitely have fear or apprehension on these kind of things. I'm a creative person and can be quite emotional/sensitive although I don't show it very often to people. I think this creativity can...

Can't seem to find a way to edit this but it should say "Mildly" instead of "Midly" (spelling mistake) on the ones that are in bold. Anybody have an opinion on this? It would really be helpful. This gets confusing in my mind as if it is TMS, doing a brace or wearing a neo sleeve kind of thing...

Hi Guys, I posted in ask a TMS Therapist but thought this would also be a good place to see what people think. Back in January 2018 about middle of the month, I was going through a bunch of shoes trying them on because I needed a pair to wear for a convention that goes on that I work at for 4...

Thanks for responding back, Leo. I'm really glad to hear the sciatica has left you for the most part! Perhaps some of the family events had you focusing less on your physical pain and allowed things to calm down? At any rate, I'm so happy you are doing better. I had struggled with tendinitis on...

Hi Leo, How are you doing now? Did you end up getting better with the TMS method? Did you end up going through with surgery?

I saw Dr. Schechter about 5 days ago who says that he thought I had all the "classic signs of TMS". This felt good. Then he did the 6 tender points and didn't find anything tender...one spot felt "ticklish" to me but not really hurting when he pressed. He said that having tender points are only...

Anyone have finger pain that feels like it is in the joints as well? Do you find a lot of pain "mirrors" on both sides of the body so if your thumb on your right hand starts acting up, the left hand thumb has issues as well? LexyLucy, what kind of TMS have you seen in your body? Were you able to...

Hey Enrique, I did make an appointment. Will be seeing him in March for an evaluation.

I've had this before. I would wake up all of sudden with overwhelming pain like in my rectal area where all I could do was hope it was a bowel movement. By pushing those muscles it eventually went away after 5 minutes but I felt like I was in so much pain I would need to go to the hospital. It...

Did you have to do a followup appointment yourself or was the initial visit enough? I imagine if anything else is really needed it would be either a test or therapy or just knowing what he diagnosed and then reading books more on TMS and not letting pain frighten but just to move through it.

I found out that Dr. Schechter is out of network in my insurance so it's going to cost much more than I was hoping. I'm hoping that Dr Schechter will be able to confirm if I have TMS or if part of what I have is TMS and then give me some tips or therapy if needed I can go but not returning...

Do you think the Pelvic Floor is TMS as well or an actual physical problem? It seems to cause pain in the groin, Anus region as well as genital pain. There are special Physical Therapists who do Pelvic Floor. I haven't been evaluated for that. Also, what kind of test can they do on the hands...
