I've gotten better. Much better. I think when I started on here over a year back, I had so much OCD about my pain, so much fear, toe spasms, fear of running, pain after running in my knee, fear of certain shoes, foot pain, and I'd say that the fear was almost worse than the pain. Now, I no...

Checking again here. Please, pretty please please. Would you mind responding? I don't have much symptoms except twinges here and there but the fear related to re-injury is overwhelming. Can you please respomd? You're the only seismodee on here and I would seriously appreciate any support.

Hi Aimee, Thanks so much for your post. I did the structured education program on and off over maybe 2.5 months, then I just finished Dr. Schechter’s workbook. I read Healing Back Pain a few times, and now started on the Mindbody prescription which I’ve been reading on and off. I haven’t been...

Thanks Aimee. I’ve never really thought that I had a gap of choice to decide that I could be okay. And think differently. It’s so weird sometimes I look at old people running or kids playing and I’m just looking at their knees and thinking ‘I bet they are not even thinking about their knees’

Here for some support. I feel like I’ve been making good progress recently and have hit 2 setbacks. I need someone here to tell me I’ll be okay. So my fear was at an all time high, and conditioned responses happening after running, quite frightening, but I kept going on. They would resolve after...

Hi Miffy- I start today with the therapist- and since I have limtied $ I don't think the option of switching around would work for me; just going to work with them at the Pain Psychology Centre for 4 sessions and then go back to working on my own, or perhaps continue on with Remedy. I'll check...

Hi all, Seriously hoping someone responds to this post. An update; After completing the SEP, I'm still running. I don't know why it's been so hard for me to accept the diagnosis, but I am pushing on with activity and though the mountain doesn't seem to be moving, some days I realize it is, even...

I feel you on the fear of pain and jogging. I had really bad knee pain, and plantar fascitis pain (still struggling with it) and a legit seismod injury that 7 doctors said I'd never heal from and would need surgery. Seismod bones are the bones through which 70-80% of our weight go through' so I...

Been through that before. Lasted about a year. Totally normal. I wanted to offer some thoughts of encouragement along this journey. A couple weeks ago I wrote down everything that was going on in my life and it was a total shit show. I felt horrible. I didn't know what to do. I was at the end of...

Hi Guys, So I recently finished the structured education program and now going through Dr. Schechter's workbook. The obsessions in my mind have drastically improved. I no longer wake up thinking firstly of my foot or how my big toe is doing, and I don't have any anxiety about my toe anymore-...

I can't believe I did it! Yes, with a 21 day hiatus between the 5th and 6th week, but I did indeed finish. What did I learn about myself. Well 1) The symptoms are a survival tool. Today, I was out jogging and I thought to myself, would I really want to get rid of the symptoms and I thought hard...
