So pinched nerves do cause pain???

I thought I had a good grasp of TMS and started listening to Back in Control on Audible. Now i feel like I’ve taken 4 steps back I’ll admit I’m only a few chapters in but it sounds like he’s saying sciatica and IT band disorders are actual structural problems? If so, wouldn’t this go against Dr...

I am so glad to see this post and wish Steve O or Dr Sarno had personally experienced PMS to get their take on it (actually i don’t wish PMS on anyone :). I have been a TMS ‘r for as long as i can remember. I’ve gotten over panic attacks, urinary troubles, headaches and back spasms several...

Ok so I am a classic TMS'r and have been studying TMS for about 2 years. Something that puzzles me is what the root cause of pain while sleeping would be. I have noticed several times that I will have back aches in my dreams or upon waking will have no pain but remember that I had a restless...

I'm so happy for you! I have a friend who it sounds like has gone through a very similar situation. His surgery was 2 weeks ago and his foot is still numb and yet he is so resistant to the idea of TMS. I too have had those spasms and they are unbelievable. I was so scared for so long that I...

Jeff, there is no question that dwelling on it makes it worse.

Are you in the US?

Leslie, let's definitely schedule a time to chat on the phone! I will be back in Dallas tomorrow so I will have free time to chat. It's interesting you say you worry about your weight. I do too and think I probably worry way too much about it. My weight and my appearance are a constant worry. I...

I have struggled severely with urinary urgency. In fact, last Wednesday I called the urologist in tears because it hurt so bad and there was no infection. In My mind, I actually figured it was TMS but I had thought I beat the urinary symptoms years ago. So urologist called in a muscle relaxer...

I'm sure I made it seem easy and maybe this was my last hurdle to totally conquer TMS. I've definitely dealt with years of anxiety/back pain/urinary and it's unequivocally my personality. Total perfectionist, complete worrier, control freak.

I am so enjoying these calls! How are we so lucky to have learned about TMS?
