Well I went back to the hand doc. X-rays were negative. He said wrist sprains can take up to 6 weeks to fully heal. So it sounds like I am just doing the thing where I want to force myself to not feel pain and it starts the loop of causing me more anxiety when I still feel the pain. And I...

Tooth sensitivity is one of my TMS symptoms as well. I've been dealing with it since I was a kid. It goes hand and hand with my tooth grinding and acid reflux. While my teeth are showing real signs of wear, I have found zero correlation between the pain and the wear. Because otherwise the...

Well I survived a wedding weekend this past weekend in more ways then one. Yesterday, I was pretty hungover (LOL) and magically I had very little wrist pain going on. I know that alcohol is pretty good at numbing pain (both physically and mentally), so this isn't really surprising. But now...

Well played a full round of golf today. Still painful but I kinda just dealt with it. Just kind of letting time pass at this point. Thanks for your help

Thank you this all true and great advice. The thing about this is though that my hand fracture is completely pain free now. Even after hitting the golf balls, the site of the fracture feels great. Now its just a different specific spot on my wrist that has been bothering me ever since I...

Doubt is creeping in. I had a rough day yesterday at work so I went to the driving range to blow off some steam. I hit about 100 golf balls. There was pain in my wrist on almost every shot, but amazingly I was hitting the ball well for the most part (considering I haven't swung club in 2...

Pain has ramped up today again with a vengeance 😅 I think since I did a light upper body workout yesterday, my brain is now "punishing" me. My hope is to just keep pushing through until this goes away. Like you said, I need to find a way to lose the fear. And if I keep ramping down on my...

I also had an incident like that where I turned with my oblique when I was lifting some dumbbells and felt a sharp pain and it turned into several day fixation. All you can do is laugh at the absurdity sometimes lol. Yeah its now been 10 days since the incident and my brains seems to be...

Need some help again Support Team! I broke my hand back in August refereeing a football game. I got knocked over an fell on my left hand. Long story short, I'm all good on that front now. Of course, last week another player ran into me and I instinctively braced them with my left hand. This...

I actually just started her podcast!

Money has also become an issue now since my wife went on maternity leave with no pay and now the daycare expensive are starting to hit. I can definitely tell I'm enraged at my wife for making me take on such a financial burden and still demanding me to spend more time with them and do more to...

Starting having issues when I did a 14 hour roundtrip drive for my side gig (football referee). I've got a 3 month old at home who demands a lot of attention currently, and my wife lets me know when she doesn't think I'm pulling enough weight (as she should). My side gig also demands a lot...

Thanks for this post, I needed to read this! I also have a history with styes in my left eye. I used to get them every time I went on vacation, it became a running joke with my wife. "Oh are you getting your vacation stye?" The last week I started getting this uncomfortable feeling in my...

Here's a new one. Can eye problems be TMS related? After healing a broken hand, and not having issues from achilles tendonitis anymore, now I'm being driven crazy by eye issues! I have a history of getting styes and in grown eye lashes in my left eye. But this time around, I just have the...

Thank you, this has been really helpful! Everytime I feel a sensation in my ankle, I've started assigning it as a "blue tingling sensation" now instead of the usual "oh shit here comes the pain". Eliminating the fear of the pain seems to be the key. I've put so much pressure on myself to be...
