I haven't written in this post for a long time, but I wanted to give an update for those who are in pain and struggling. Around June of 2015, I had started to possibly accept TMS. I still had my doubts and did one last round through the medical system. You know just to be sure. The last...

I felt this burning sensation in my lower legs. I described it as a sunburn on the inside of my skin. It was mostly in my legs. They did the punch biopsy in my legs because that is where my symptoms were. I tended to feel better when I stood up. When I laid down on my side I would get a...

I feel an overwhelming need to post my story somewhere. I guess I will put it here. Let me know if there is a better location. If you or a loved one suffer from pain and no one seems to give a clear reason to the madness I would suggest Mind Body Treatment. I have struggled with lower leg...

Winter. For quite some time I thought I had SFN as well. I had all of the symptoms, but I could never get a positive diagnosis. I even had the punch test performed. Interestingly, mine would change when I was standing up vs. lying down as well. As I've worked through the medical system and...

Ok. I saw this http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Breaking_the_Pain_Cycle,_by_Alan_Gordon,_LCSW Perhaps it is the Extinction Burst thing. I'm going to try real hard and think psychologically. It seems to help, but I think today is going to just be a little harder than others.

My two primary symptoms are burning in my feet/lower legs and low back pain. Yesterday was memorial day I was very active with my wife in the yard. Doing various stuff. I also decided to try and run two miles very very slowly. We're talking 15 minute/mile pace and my oldest went with me. He...
