Hi! I'm back again. Cured pain in back, shoulder and forearms 1 year ago using TMS-techniques. 5 months ago a crashed my bike, broke my shoulder and had to go through surgery. Everything went well and 3 weeks ago my shoulder were more or less healed. I started going back to the gym and my...

Hi again, I had a lot of leg pain. Especially in my right leg. And the pain got even worse when the MRI showed that the herniation was more severe towards the right side of the spine. To be honest the honest the entire experience of going to an orthopedic doctor was very strange. It felt...

I fully understand where you are coming from. I was lucky to have people in my life that were really supportive in terms of me trying other types of treatment. They actually were the ones telling me that my stress were the root cause of pain, and I didn't believe them at first. Not having them...

Yeah, I agree with the poster above. Scapular winging isn't in any way painful. It just means that your scapular muscles are unbalanced or not strong enough. Which is fine as long as you're not trying to become better at handstands or olympic weight lifting (like me). Winging is in my experience...

Hi there, I have had quite a lot of pain, mostly lower back, but also from an umbilical hernia. Haven't done surgery on my back, went away from reading Sarnos books and lifting heavy weights. But I had my umbilical hernia repaired. It failed and the pain worsened after the surgery. I decided...

Hi there! I know what you are going through. I went through a severe back episode about 1,5 years ago. Lower back was killing me and pressing on the area was excruciating. I went to every type of doctor, physio, chiro etc. They had different ideas, said I had unbalanced hips, needed surgery...

Hi! I went through almost the exact same experience. Also a fit guy, had elbow pain in the right arm when doing pullups, mostly inside of right elbow. Took me roughly a year to get rid of. Read Sarnos books and understood how body-weight training was a bit too central to my sense of self worth...

Hi! I'm experiencing the exact same thing. For the the pain has mostly disappeared but the tension remains. Want to get back to exercising as prescribed by Sarno et.al. but find it really difficult!

Hi all, I diagnosed myself with TMS a couple of weeks ago. Read two books by Sarno. Followed the educational program etc. I felt my pain going away, especially all resting pain. However, my muscles are still extremely tense, making it difficult to move. Also, after walking or doing some...

Hi! I have just started my TMS-journey. Even though we're both new, it's comforting to see that I recognize all of your feelings/emotions. I used to do all kinds of crazy exercise and sports. Sure, not all of it was good for me and I think that I challenged my body more than it could handle...

Hi all, This is my first post here, as well as the beginning of my TMS journey. My pain started pretty much 1 year ago today. It was the beginning of lockdown and I was working from home. Due to the lack of social interaction I decided to focus more on my fitness goals. More time at the gym...
