Leo, I have left leg sciatica, never had an MRI because I've got some hardware in me from an old fracture. But was told probably a combo of piriformis pain and some disc issues. Started back in January, still lingering now after 4.5 months. Tried chiropractor, massage etc, temporary relief but...

As I've waded into TMS it's become clear I've had other issues commonly associated with TMS, but it was only a bout of sciatica that led me here. I'm sure most of us here have similar pain or symptom history. I recall plenty of acne breakouts at stressful times through high school and college...

I've been working on TMS for a few weeks now. Read Sarnos' Healing Back Pain 6 weeks ago, really started doing more research in the last 3 weeks. I'm caught a bit on when an issue is sufficiently 'handled' and when to keep focusing on it. What I mean by that is I know I have some the identifying...

I can't answer your question regarding whether it's good to rip yourself apart, but I think it shows where you may have a problem. I also think that's probably a common scenario with the TMS personalities, but again I'm no expert. I've noticed personally I have plenty of similar instances, where...

MelG what was the reasoning behind all the supposed scar tissue? Did you have an actual accident of some sort where you sustained significant damage like an auto accident or something of that nature? If not that sounds rather suspicious. There are some success story videos where others mention...

I'm facing the same thing...seems sciatic nerve stuff is real common in TMS. For those of you that don't have X-ray or MRI don't be afraid, I had X-ray done as I've got a physical job and have taken some nasty falls, showed good disc spacing, healthy curve under flexuon and extension etc. That...

I'm new here too with similar problems so hopefully the experts chime in, but I'd say if it feels good do it. What I mean by that is I exercised and stretched in the evenings before I had nerve pains attributed to piriformis syndrome, and continue to do so. I can't see myself not doing my...

Thanks Steve! I've watched plenty of videos of you being interviewed by different folks on YouTube and could sit through them even when this stuff was at its worst. That really put the bug in my mind there was a mental component to this. And I've read Sarno book as well, the chapter on herniated...

I've been dealing with left leg sciatic nerve pain for 3 months now. I'll keep the background info short, but it started mid January. Had a little stiffness in low back after the holidays and returning to work but figured it was nothing. I should note I'm a logger by trade, pretty physical job...

Awesome thread, don't want to hijack but I've been dealing with same stuff. Also had x-rays and was told same thing. Disc spacing was excellent, under flexion and extension everything flexed as it should, and doc saw no need for further investigation. Never had pain so bad I couldn't go about my...
