Hey all, I was told by my hand surgeon that my wrist will never be the same and that I may have pain for the rest of my life. 2 years ago I fell and broke both wrists and one had to be surgically repaired. I have had pain and weakness in the surgically repaired wrist. I refuse to believe his...

Hello, I had to have a wrist MRI to assess my distal radius problem and they found my median nerve highly inflamed and say I should have severe carpal tunnel pathology. And guess what I have had zero carpal tunnel symptoms. I think this shows you can have a severely pinched median nerve with...

I am pretty certain it is related. I had barely been able to move my left shoulder. My right shoulder is fine. I have been dealing with TMS for years without knowing what it was. Now that I know and have been working on it, I am gaining some more free rotation in my shoulder. Though there...

So very inspirational.

I was the exact same way not much of a care in the world and very happy and then bam, the health scare sent me over the edge. I had a lot more than just the body burning, I had tremors, jaw pain, insomnia, dyspepsia, allodynia, the whole nine yards. Then a wonderful chiropractor told me that...

Hello Jennifer yes I have been there. My full body burning came after I developed severe anxiety from a health scare. It lasted a few months until I was finally convinced it was a symptom of anxiety. Once I got the anxiety somewhat under control and stopped the fear loop cycle, it did get...

Thank you both so much. these are very helpful and comforting responses. Too often we just get in our own way.

For those of you who have had imaging that is not good, but is also not the cause of your pain, how do you rid your brain of those images and those words on your mri? Things like foraminal narrowing, severe osteoarthrosis, ligamentum flavum buckling, ostepphyte complex and degenerative discs...

I broke both my wrists a year and a half ago. One has a metal plate and screws. Both wrists were well healed and not causing me any issues until just the last week or so when my arm with the metal plate is painful and stiff. I assume this is TMS acting up, but why does it choose an old injury?

Yeah, they checked me out and said I was fine. But oh my goodness on the inflammation comment. I thought I was imagining the fact that I am retaining water but it must be related to my stress.

Hello, I want to see what thoughts are about a fainting episode I had before Christmas. This fainting episode happened in early December and I was up in the middle of the night with some severe gastrointestinal issues that caused me to faint on the floor, breaking my nose and injuring my neck...
