I would like to introduce my friend to mind body syndromes by reading one of the books. I started reading Healing Back Pain b/c my pain was in my lower back. However, my friend's pain is usually in her feet. Is there a book that focuses more on foot pain and TMS that you would recommend...

I've had X-rays , blood test, but not an MRI. Still OK to follow the program or do I need to rule that out?

Back pain that comes and goes is TMS right? If there was something structurally wrong with my back it wouldn't come and go throughout the day. It wouldn't move from the left side to the right and then to the entire lower back. Right?

BTW, I've had X-Rays, kidney ultrasound, blood work, and went to a chiro (3x week) for two months. Everything came back fine. Chiro mentioned slight curve. My regular physician has always felt it was muscle pain and therefore never felt that I needed an MRI. I have been diagnosed by Dr...

Thank you everyone for your responses. It's funny how when I'm not in pain I don't think about it, but the second I start to feel a twinge everything just goes to sh*t! I've been talking to my pain and have been trying to do it with force, but I think there's a part of me that doesn't believe...

How does one go about finding a TMS therapist in their area? I live close to the Illinois/WI border. Thank you.

I don't have any answers to your questions bc I'm in the exact same situation as you. Except my pain is in my back and it's not debilitating. It comes and goes and I do believe my anxiety makes it worse. I just wanted you to have comfort in the fact that you are not alone. Hugs!

Hello! I'm a newbie to this site and was wondering if you could tell me if it sounds like I have TMS. I have found a doctor that specializes in TMS about an hour away, but I'm anxious to get started now. Please bare with me, my story is lengthy. If I recall my chronic pain started last...
