    Swelling after wrist immobilization

    I cured myself of Tms symptoms 2 yrs ago, so I thoroughly believe in the mind body connection. Those issues never had a structural cause and in retrospect were textbook TMS—unexplained pain that migrates randomly. However now I’m dealing with 2 real injuries: I wrecked my right wrist while...

    Stuck about how to move forward after climbing accident

    Hi gazelle—sorry to bring up such an old thread but I think there’s a lot of similarities between us. I too have cured myself of Tms symptoms 2 yrs ago, so I thoroughly believe in the mind body connection. I also wrecked my right wrist while climbing in Indian creek 5 months ago ( tfcc tear) and...

    No more arm pain

    Most of my techniques are covered in earlier threads, which I wrote while I was going through it all. What I remember working was reading The Mindbody Prescription in 1.5 days and already noticing change. I made a list of evidence to repudiate a structural cause, and the main themes were that...

    No more arm pain

    I've been super busy not thinking of my arms all the time, but I shouldve written this months ago. At it's worst, I had pain on the inside and outside of both elbows, tingling pinkies on both hands, a sore neck that would cramp up whenever I didn't lay down or stand, and on occasion bilateral...

    My introduction to TMS, dealing with arm pain

    I'd also like to add that in spite of the advice to withhold from PT exercises, I'm actually doing them and I think they're helpful. I'm using the flexbar (a possibly gimicky tool for tennis elbow) and I'm stretching daily to ease the pain in my elbows and biceps. I'm also just being more...

    My introduction to TMS, dealing with arm pain

    I feel like a wizard. While TMS pain sucks and at times it feels unfair, I'm watching my mind unravel my physical pain and it's soooo cool! I first learned about TMS 2 weeks ago from an RSI blog post and I'm happy to say with full-out honesty it's 90% better. There are a couple of things that...

    My introduction to TMS, dealing with arm pain

    Hi Jan, thanks for the encouragement. I've seen on other people's posts that the SEP or Alan's program have been really helpful. Two questions regarding those programs: 1. Should I follow the SEP or Alan's program? 2. Do people typically read only 1 day's worth of information, or can you...

    My introduction to TMS, dealing with arm pain

    Over the last 3 months, I've been dealing with a ridiculous amount of pain that I have never experienced before. It all started when I was doing handstands on an elbow with a partially torn ligament (I'm not patient and I have an obsession with staying active). On the third day of doing...
