Would you mind sending me a hopeful message? I have this EXACT SCENARIO, fissure...healed...now pelvic and tailbone pain, unrelenting, one year. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your support… Do you have any recommendations as to what I might do specifically for this? What I did before was affirmations and journaling, as well as telling myself that nothing was physically wrong with myself. That’s the only hitch I’m having, as this started with a real...

This is a follow up to a previous post, entitled "Anal Fissures, Pains in the A$$ and Encouragement Needed". I am reposting some of it, as it still applies... I have a lifelong history of TMS from infancy colic to childhood tummy aches, teenage chronic earaches and sore throats, to young adult...

Thank you! Yes I need to relax. Also, I’m not having surgery just pain. Doc thinks it’ll heal WITHOUT surgery. Just to clarify. I’m just being hard on myself and I’m a huge catastrophic thinker. And yes, anxiety medicine helps the pain, which makes me confirm TMS is part of this. The doctor said...

Although the TMS wiki and forum have been a HUGE support to me over the years, and I have posted many, many private matters on here, I have hesitated to post this on here till now. Not so much because it's a very sensitive and embarrassing issue, but because I thought it was not TMS, and that...

Hi friends, and happy holidays, merry christmas and happy (almost) new year. I've really been suffering with what I think is a TMS flare, and I could use some words of encouragement and reassurance. I'm scared. My TMS, which usually manifests as upper back and neck tension and occasional foot...

Sammie, yes it can go away. You can't see "plantar fasciitis" on an X-Ray. It's fascia. They likely did the X-Ray to rule out a bone problem. It's TMS. I promise you. I've had "Plantar Fasciitis" three times and made it go away three times with a combination of walking a lot, JOURNALING using...

This is a follow up to a thread I posted called "My Feet Are Crying". Been having foot pain for months, in both feet, and recently realized it's classic TMS. However, I have a new discovery & would love any feedback. I recently found out that the "bunion" on my right big toe (which has been...

Thank you Lizzy. I commented above about a recent discovery of a ganglion cyst that has never hurt before and all of a sudden started hurting. The body is strange. I'm definitely ditching my orthotics.

So I don't know if I will get a response here, but I recently found out that the "bunion" on my big toe (which has been painless till now) is actually a small bunion with a (fairly) small ganglion cyst attached to it. A ganglion cyst is VERY common, and since it is filled with synovial fluid...

Thank you, Jan! I will DEFINITELY check these out on iTunes. I am a huge fan of Nicole Sachs. Didn't even know she had a podcast! And I love Steve O. His book was my biggest breakthrough when I was first spelunking the rage caves of TMS. I think its time I re-read him. And for sure, listen to...
