    Does having structural abnormalities then rule out TMS ?

    OK, but you got feedback/thoughts. You just didn't like them.

    Introduction/Tennis Elbow as TMS Manifestation?

    @Jayver17, it started like ulnar nerve pain in my upper arm, actually, and kind of shifted into my forearm. Wasn't getting better and it was before I learned about TMS so I had the MRI and they found the tear. It was only low grade and just freaked me out more when I learned later that it didn't...

    New ‘Unlearn your pain’

    I'm a little surprised about Buglio and Schubiner together for an interview. Buglio is so anti-emotional aspect. I like them both, though.

    Which book did you get? They're all good, just curious.

    Introduction/Tennis Elbow as TMS Manifestation?

    I had a low grade tear in my common extensor of my right arm on MRI, which presented like tennis elbow. Did all kinds of things for it, a tennis elbow rehab program, even sprung for this $500 device that was supposed to help. When I finally left it alone and just got back to doing my normal...

    New onset sciatica?

    Please be careful with the Gabapentin, especially if you have never taken it before. It can have some nasty side effects. I know it works for some people but hate that it's the go to these days.

    It's all fear.

    I'm not seeing the equivalency here..... Also I have to be on the computer all day for work. It's kind of the direction the world has taken.

    Therapist suggestion

    Fred used to post here, I don't think he does any longer.

    Gracias

    It's long, but read @JohnDellatto 's recovery story. He spent years at this. There's no set time on the finish line. Whenever I start to think I'm a hopeless case, I read it again.

    Another surgery for chronic knee pain was proven to be useless

    The tear itself is real. The associated symptoms, not always so much. The same was said of my torn hip labrum and my ortho said I should have surgery to repair it. Dug into it and similar to the above posted study, the outcomes didn't really persuade me to think it was going to be a good long...

    Oh hey, good to see you.

    Frequent Flares-medicine holding me back?

    I will not under any circumstances give up my stomach meds. Esophageal issues are very real for me, I have both acid and bile reflux. Maybe I would be okay using TMS practices if I tried to go off my meds, but GERD scares me too much with what it can do. Just saying this to let you know you're...

    Knee surgery for meniscus tears shown to be ineffective or downright harmful

    Yep, they saw it on my X-ray many years ago even before I became active and started running. Very very common. My fiance had surgery for it and I hate that he still stresses over it.

    Oops, I did it again?

    Yessssss. The half is my favorite distance. Congrats!
