The doctor is having my husband get an Xray tomorrow morning as she said it looked like it could be a fracture. But he didn't do anything to cause even a stress fracture. He did mountain bike on Sunday when it was just starting to get a bit bad. And then it go much worse from Tuesday to...

Hello, I have been off and on this website over the years as a runner and triathlete suffering with TMS. My husband has also dealt with TMS. Right now he is experiencing some very strange wrist pain that radiates from his thumb up through his forearm. It started out of the blue a few days ago...

That sounds like a great plan Dexy! Best wishes to you!

You were also much younger back in 1978 :-) My Ironman coach is the happiest person you'll ever meet who has the best life and a super supportive environment. She was a Pro triathlete winning many Ironmans pushing her body to the limits. But she too had several stress fractures and many running...

Hi Dexy, sorry you are dealing with running issues. Very frustrating and I can totally understand! I ended up taking couple weeks off from running and my IT band issues went away back in 2013. They might have been TMS but I was also dealing with a chronic off and on shin problem which later...

It's been over 2 months since my Ironman and I am still having trouble with tingling/pins and needles/soreness in my left arm and hand. It all started after that super wavy and choppy Ironman swim But I still believe it's TMS. I did take the two past weeks off from swimming and no change. I...

Thanks Walt! I appreciate your post. I did that program a few years ago and found it helpful. I was actually looking for it the other day, so I'm glad you posted the link. Maybe I should go through it again. Cheers, Joyce

Hello, I'm a runner/triathlete who has battled TMS off and on for 15+ years. I discovered Dr Sarno back around 2001. I've had many many different TMS symptoms mostly disguised as "running injuries". I've used Dr Sarno's books and have had various consultations with TMS doctors throughout the...

I pretty much have no choice. This is my worst sports injury ever. I am on crutches and just moving my leg/hip around in bed is painful. Hopefully my bone heals quickly!

Thanks Tennis Tom for your response. The only thing that has made my hip worse is running due to the impact and full weight on my hip. Swimming is easy on the hip and cycling was fine too. I got a email response back from another TMS doc I've also seen in the past. And she believes that stress...

Hello - I am the runner/triathlete who is always struggling with some sort of TMS. I've paid for 8 marathons and have only been able to run 4 of them the last 4 years. I recently had to drop out of my second half ironman triathlon due to severe right hip pain a couple weekends ago. I had an MRI...

Oh I'm so sorry you have a confirmed labral tear. That must be so frustrating. When I had left hip issues 6 months ago the MRI didn't show a stress fracture or tear but it was concluded that a tear was possible. I had my MRI results sent to Dr. Schubiner (TMS doc) and talked with him about it...
