I am questioning the TMS diagnoses because my pain is not something that appears with certain triggers, it just always feels like muscles and things in my legs are wrong and causing pain in my knees. Every time I walk or stand it is there. It's hard for me to not see this as physical when it...

Well I just finished a couple miles of running, chanting the entire time "there is nothing structurally wrong with my legs". I definitely still felt tons of aches and pains all around my knee and calves, but I did it. It's definitely uncomfortable because to me it still feels like something is...

I got a score of 339 so I suppose that reinforces the diagnoses of TMS. Thank you for the link!

This reminds me of what my dad has been saying through my whole ordeal: "I just don't accept that a seventeen year old can randomly develop leg pain that persists for a lifetime. I don't accept that your legs have gone wrong." But oh man, it feels that way!!! And I did have a physical...

After 3 excruciating months of knee/leg pain that has changed drastically day to day, I am so ready for change. My X-rays, MRI's, and examinations are all spotless and cortisone shots didn't provide relief. I'm only seventeen and feel crippled by my pain. I know this can't be permanent since I...

Wow, thanks so much for this thoughtful response! I am honestly still very unsure about this diagnoses so I feel some trepidation to begin. I keep searching for a description of the twisting sensation around my knee and the muscle dysfunction that I am experiencing to give me reassurance that it...
