I realized today that our bodies are imperfect, and we should embrace that we will eventually die. If you zoom in to something, of course you will eventually find something wrong. It is a trade-off and it is about how you want to live your perfectly imperfect life. I easily jump to conclusions...

Thank you. So glad you are getting better. As long as I am convinced it is benign, I won't worry about it.

Thank you. Good to know it can get better. Lucky for you, in 2 months! Some people take years, decades... I just don't understand how TMS can cause physical inflammation, soreness to the touch, etc. Could someone explain this to me? Then maybe I can believe it is caused by stress...

Great, glad you are better.

Yeah, I am a perfectionist, anxiety, depression, OCD, so it makes sense I will become hypersensitive to pain and worry about it, or that my repressed emotions will cause it. Balls started hurting 3 months ago, right during a very stressful time in my life, getting first job out of school...
