Hi All! Thank God I found this thread! Need some mental reinforcement for TMS and tooth pain. I had an implant done last year and it was quite traumatic. Everything that could go wrong, did and I ended up with draining fistula fo about a year. Every time I have appointment with oral surgeon my...

Hi Lainey, I was diagnosed with this along with spinal stenosis and a bunch of bulging discs. I am so very athletic and for over a year I was ridden with worsening pain, tightness in my one hip and leg, tingling nerve pain going down both legs, waking me up at night. My PT told me to read...

I have also been diagnosed with SI joint dysfunction and lax joints. I had lots of back pain, tingling down my legs, numbness in one leg and both feet. I found a good PT who helped me with the SI joint stabilization and also wore SI belt for a few months. But I still had the issues with the...

Is there any way to put in a 'key word' to search for a topic such as OA? Or do I just have to keep looking around...

Hi Jake, When my back pain went away after reading Sarno's book, sure enough I started to get pain on the inside of my left ankle. I then read some information about how TMS can target feet so I decided that was the root cause. I also decided to go hiking despite the pain. But the next day it...

I think I'm having arthritis flare-ups due to this also. For 2 years I had no osteoarthritis (OA) pain. I thought it was gone forever. But, thinking back, that's when I also had GI problems and then the back pain issues started. I never related any of these to TMS until 5 months ago when my PT...

Hi eightball776! I can't even begin to imagine what you have been going through for so long...you must be so frustrated! I forgot what Day of the SEP you are on, but I'm doing Day 5. I just looked at a video from the TMS Recovery Program - Accepting the Pain (link on Day 5). I thought of you...

Hi eightball776! I too had a so called pinched nerve. I was reluctant to give in to the idea that this too could be TMS. So I decided to 'go fo it' and asume it was TMS - I figured it couldn't hurt to give TMS the benefit of the doubt, and if it worked it would certainly be better than the...

Can osteoarthritis joint pain be due to TMS?

I think the most disheartening diagnosis came when my GI doctor told me my problems eating were from IBS - and then told me to deal with it and come back in 6 months! By the end of 4 months I lost 30 lb. I then found an integrative medicine doctor who told gave me some tests and declared that...

Thanks Andy! I will take your advice and write down all these things. I've also thought of new stressors contributing to this syndrome, dating back to childhood. My Mom instilled a fear of illness in me and ever since then whenever I got sick, I immediately went to a doctor and thought of the...

I have had back pain on and off or years. It got so bad last year that I thought I would be disabled forever - with shooting nerve pains down my legs to feet, couldn't sleep, couldn't sit, etc. Then my PT had me read "Healing Back Pain" and within 2 weeks almost all symptoms disappeared! But...
