Hi lolaskip! It's now been around nine months since I took a chance on Dr. Sarno's advice and I'm even more convinced it is the answer. I still have an occasional pain in my hip, but the pain in my SI joint is completely gone. I hope you give TMS a chance. It's still difficult sometimes to...

Thanks, Walt. Great insight, as always. I'm just trying to understand pain triggers and I'm probably over-thinking it.

I have some questions about sitting. I went back into my work office yesterday for the first time since vacation. My employer has been very supportive of my struggles with back pain and I have a sit/stand station at which I have been only standing because of the pain when sitting. Since...

Congratulations! Last year, I let expire a prepaid skydive because I was worried about my back. That was before I knew about TMS and now I'm really annoyed I did that. I'll need to try it again this summer.

Thanks, Steve for the post and for everyone's comments. For the past two years, I'd been unable to sit for more than 10 minutes due to lower back and hip pain. I found out about TMS only a couple months ago, right before I left for a month-long vacation where I was sitting for long periods of...

I was diagnosed with SI Joint Dysfunction a couple years ago and was recommended to have the fusion surgery. Although I believed the "weak" SI joint theory, I decided I would keep searching for answers to make sure I tried everything before I opted for surgery. I tried all the usual doctors...
