Your MRI will show degeneration considering you're over 40. I believe at that age over 80-90% will show something. I've had 3 mris over the years and believe they are important to rule out fractures, tumours or any other very rare disease that can cause pain. Sarno would want to see one before...

Thanks for your reply Eric, It has helped clear some things up in my mind. So a few months back I did a 30 day journalling and reading tms program that I purchased online. It had a dvd to watch, a book to read and a 30 day journalling book. The hard part was running out of stuff to write about...

Eric "If we put doubt in the equation -it just takes us longer to heal. ' I have copied the comment above because despite believing I suffer from tms and doing quite a lot of mental work I am continuing to get worse. I cannot think of anything else that would be getting in my way of beating...

Hi guys, I've been treating my chronic pain as tms for a while now and have had some success but about 6 weeks ago had a bad spasm and have remained in much pain and restricted mobility since. While my confidence and basic understanding of tms is quite good I still had some doubts that were...

Well I had basically come good and had improved a great deal from where i was a month ago. On Saturday morning I went for about a 5km walk and ran some of the way too. I felt good afterwards and then went surfing with no pain at all while doing this. I was pain free for hours after all this...

Thanks so much for the insightful post Dr Sapico! I have had a better day today and have started putting some of your ideas into practice already. I'll let you know my progress as I continue. It's wonderful to be able to come here on a bad day and get such positive and helpful info so thanks again!

Hi Mate, I live in the Northern beaches and have all my life. Iv'e got some family up in Newcastle and go up there quite a bit, It's a great spot. Apparently there is a TMS doc in Sydney now but he doesn't exactly advertise as one. On the other TMS forum TMSHelp.com another Australian told me...

Hi Crimslock, Like you when i was going down the physical route the doctors couldn't find anything with all their tests to point the pain at. My chronic back pain also began after some anxiety i was experiencing cleared up. I stopped being anxious through exercise and healthy living and out...

Thanks for the replies everyone they're much appreciated! I normally just have 24/7 dull chronic pain and i can handle that. I push my body physically and when this recent spasm happened i was drying myself off with a towel after just swimming 5 km's. A month on and the spasm has slightly...

Thanks to both of you for the replies. I took your advice Forest and asked myself if i have any doubt and i must admit prior to speaking to my TMS doctor i was probably at 80% belief from reading the books and the doctor told me 99% belief is not enough and the pain will continue unless 100%...

Hi, Bit lost at the moment and looking for some words of advice/Encouragement. Iv'e been at the TMS work for about 6 months and have seen some improvement for my chronic back pain however it has now increased dramatically despite me knowing the pain is not from a structural issue. The pain...

Does Moseley actually have a treatment plan that is suggested for patients? Doesn't seem like he recommends anything that resembles a TMS approach to healing with the exception of resuming normal activity. Obviously this type of research is critical to unravel what happens with chronic pain but...

I think the back and forth doubt your experiencing is perfectly normal. People need to remember Sarno himself openly states there are times when a disc is clearly the source of pain and needs surgery. But Sarno himself is able to be the judge of that during an examination. Imagine how many...
