Hi Mike. Thanks for your reply and your kind comments. I have a lot ahead of me but feel positive. Thanks for the link, I will check it out. I am glad you responded I knew my post would be difficult for people to engage with as it is upsetting but like you say, I needed to reach out and always...

Hi Anne. Many thanks for your reply and sorry to hear you have had to deal with cancer but so pleased about your recovery. Since the news I have had no time to think about my aches and pains and have been pain free. It's amazing. My mind has simply stopped doing that as it has such a big thing...

Hi everyone I am reaching out to the people I have met on this forum today as yesterday I found out I had thyroid cancer. The prognosis is good but I have one hell of a lot to go through to be well. I have had all sorts of issues with my back and hip and its been a gradual lessening of that...

Hi all It is really odd when you have your words repeated back to you as they seem so extreme. I had to check I used the words "I fear I will not cope and fall apart", "I think the fear of illness haunts me". I looked at what I had written again and felt shocked. I see quite clearly that my...

Hi guys Thanks for all your great messages. You have helped me a lot. I was thinking back to people in my family and yes I can definitely see some examples of what I would call TMS. I know my dad suddenly developed a very painful hip after the death of my mother and was told he needed...

That does sound very familiar John. I have decided to take the vit D as I see that as sensible but I do feel this is TMS and that my anxiety is fuelling it. If I had anything terrible I am sure my tests would have found it. But in a way I am ill in the sense I am making my life a battle with...

Hi I know gluten isnt an issue as was diagnosed as coeliac a few years ago but yes it does cause a lot of different symptoms. This new pain has rocked me. I felt i was getting towards being healed. Seeing a physio was good in that he told me i had no structural problems but since i have...

Hi all I joined a few months ago and got a lot of help and support with pain in my back and hip and I seemed to have a lot of relief and started to improve. A couple of months ago the pain returned and just to be careful i went to my doctor who sent me to see a physiotherapist who told me i...

Hi all Many thanks for all your support, it really helps. I have calmed down a lot the past couple of days and the pain has too. I have mixed feelings about the MRI but my instinct is to have it as I honestly believe it will show there isn't too much wrong and I feel that will spur me on. I am...
