Hi Birdie, I have some good news for you :D . I have recently recovered from some nasty trigger points in my latissimus dorsi muscle myself using TMS therapy. I had pain in my hand, arm, and arm pit which slowly got worse over a couple of years. It was a stressful relationship breakup that...

Hi Terry, Wow, interesting to hear your symptom pattern is very similar in onset to mine. Thank you for letting me know about "outcome independence". I hadn't heard of that it before, so I dug up Alan's post and took a read. Great post. I know I need to go with the flow more and not getting...

Hi guys, I accepted a self TMS diagnosis over a month ago. I've written a bit about my situation in other posts, but basically I had occasional pain in my right arm for many years after a weightlifting injury (which became a markedly worse, chronic, aching pain, after a breaking up with a girl...

Hey guys, Great to see such an enthusiastic and helpful community here :) About 12 years ago, I dropped some heavy gym weights being an idiot trying to lift too much at home alone. I didn't break or snap anything and do not recall strong pain (just some discomfort for a couple of weeks...
