BTW perhaps some of your pain by your head is from the TMJ that you have. I know it jumps but maybe the initial pain was related to the TMJ and your anxiety caused it to spring up on the other side. Sometimes I view it in this way for myself.

Thank you for all of your inputs! It does help to know that it still is probably all related to TMS. As far as anxiety, I was diagnosed as having Anxiety disorder, and yes I tend to jump to worst case scenarios. Most of my stress lies in anxiety. I do take something for it and have in the past...

Thank you Adam!. To a degree I am a perfectionist But most of my stressors are not from that. The reason I'm second guessing, is that in my past dealings with TMS. I listened to some of Dr Sarno's past speeches, and I was convinced that my symptoms were TMS and I fought hard not to give in to...

Polydactylkat Thank you for your input. Unfortunately there have been many stressors. I am aware of them and in the past I was able to get pain free from all the physical manifestations. But this time it hasn't seemed to work and that gives me more anxiety. It's just a negative loop. And I'm...

Thank you again for your encouragement! Having Anxiety disorder doesn't help either!

Thank you for your responses! What I meant when I said shifting pain, was that the pain never went away and then came back in a different area. What I experienced was that it didn't go away but shifted to a slightly different area or maybe even a different muscle near the original area. Thanks...

Thank you for your responses. I'm not familiar with the Structural Education Program. I did just buy the book advertised here entitled Rewire your mind without willpower. Which "BloodMoon" I believe helps with what you mentioned. Interestingly I met a PT who had studied Dr Sarno's theory, and...

I forgot to also mention that I don't get a normal nights sleep. I wake up every 2 hours or so. I'm sure it's not helping the situation!

Hi everyone! I think I need some encouragement! I had some (mainly) pain in my left thigh when I walked. This started when My mother in law got sick in December of last year. I thought at the time must be a Dr. Sarno thing. So I shrugged it off and went about my business. But it didn't go away...

Thanks for all your responses. I wasn't able to get on and see the responses till today. One of the legs feels a little better . But still struggling with leg pain. Although deep down I know it's TMS. I also got checked out by a Dr. And Thank G-D could not find anything wrong except I am...

Thanks for answering. I'm doing everything but sluggishly. I did feel a little upbeat after I took a nap so there's a component of lack of sleep that needs to be addressed. For some reason the muscle pain was a little better as well. So I really feel that my mood plays a role. But I really deep...

I'm not new to TMS, and earlier on this year, I felt pain in my left leg (most of the time if any of these episodes happened it was the left as per Dr. Sarno). it wasn't intense but I was limping. Although I felt in was TMS, I was bothered that it didn't go away as quickly as I had in other...

Thank you all and thank you JanAtheCPA for the link! It's not that I haven't learned about the program before, as I said I have read Dr. Sarno's book and heard his lectures on this topic. Perhaps I need to review and the link will help with with that. Thank you all again!

Thank you all for your responses! "Bloodmoon", your post helped me understand that I shouldn't be pushing myself so hard. I guess baby steps for me means just trying to walk normally without limping, and saying to myself that no harm will come if you have some pain while walking, somewhat...
