Thanks Eric. I'm suffering from a lot of spinal pain. I was diagnosed by Dr. Schubiner as having TMS or mind body syndrome as he calls it, at a 2 hour visit at his office in July this year. I started his work book but can't get my self to do the release exercise as outlined in his workbook ...

Boy, (girls) I hear ya. I'm surrounded by new age advice givers but it's all about some new way to fix the structural problems. I can't tell you how many chiros, pts, osteopaths, hypnotists, etc-etc-etc I've been to on the advice of friends. No one has ever mentioned the possibility of an...

Last week my pain moved from my low and middle back to my lower legs and knees where i never have pain. Something fishy but reason for optimism.

Beach Girl- Ireally love your posts. 2 things I can tell you from personal experience. My pain started as low back pain and progressed to agonizing, lay in bed and cry neck pain. Xrays showed spinal stenosis and a neck that curved the wrong way. All the docs and chiros etc said "yeah a wonder...

Oh, I'm still writing. I'm just trying to find a way to save my gallbladder. Don't wan to start my new structured program (Schubiner) til I resolve this gallbladder thing once and for all>

Morcom- Thanx for your response. The gall stone issue is new. I've had painful and chronic low back and mid back pain, severe, for 34 years which I do think is TMS. The mid back pain has gotten crippling lately and just over the last week or so knocked me flat to where I had to take vicodin and...

Just walked in the door from an ultra sound at the hospital. I made the tech tell me what she saw(she was nice) Yep very large gall stone blocking one of the ducts. Kinda wedged in there. She also said it is common for people with this condition to experience upper back pain. You asked me why I...

Hah! Saw the Doc yesterday as the pain under my ribs in front on the right side has become very intense. She says sounds like a gall stone. Going for a scan today. So probably not psychologically induced. What a relief.

woke up this morning relatively OK in the back department but my front hurts like hell. Is this just TMS? or is my liver angry at the amount of pain pills I've been taking. Yesterday: 3 morphine time release, 6 vicodin spread out from middle of the night to 7 PM last evening. Now I'm scared- not...

thanx

Interesting you mention this now. This is what I'm going through now. Jogging really intensified my symptoms so I stopped and gained 35 #s. After learning all I could re" TMS I began to challenge my pain by jogging. Now I'm in terrible pain. It's add- the pain takes 2-3 days after the activity...

Thank you to all who answered. Tookpain meds last night and this morning. Unbearable pain that radiates form my midback around my ribs to my stomach. Olease visualize me pain free. I'm starting to go alittle nuts with the pain. Thanks again J
