I did get checked a few weeks ago. My reflexes are barely discernible and the pin wheel test I couldn't feel. So does mean i do or dont hace TMS. I've had these symptoms for a while, but they are so much worse now. And I have to get approval from workers comp to see a doc and they have not...

Thanks Lizzy. I’m in a bad place right now, very depressed. I need to find out what’s going on...

I’ve been conversing with Dr. Schubiner and he suggested I see a neurologist to test reflexes and lack of feeling, and in his last post, after telling him my reflexes are absent and could not feel the pin prick, he said “I’m sorry, but you need to figure out what’s wrong,” which I took to mean...

What is an EMG? Is that same as discogram? I did have a nerve conduction study done, and it came back normal. Workers comp. denied the discogram.

Thank you so much for your response. I know that I'm having a hard time letting go of the physical aspect of things. I think because I did have one doctor tell me he saw something on my MRI that needed surgery, but my intuition is telling me that there is nothing wrong with my back. Do you think...

“Having lived with chronic pain, 24 hours a day seven days a week, and finding no solution with doctors, surgeons, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, etc., I have reached out for a solution, and that is how I found this forum. The idea of TMS makes so much sense to me, and I...
