Hi! I have had some good success with TMS over the years. Most recent issue is my knee has been swollen and extremely painful for 3 months. It also "catches" on itself and has been really hard to ignore. Just to satisfy my curiosity I had an MRI last week. The film shows cartilage wearing under...

I have light swelling in one of the affected hands. I've seen some posts about it but I'm trying to see if I can get a general sense of how common swelling is as a symptom in TMS

Hi Everyone, I started having neck pain in July of 2014 on the left side. It started with subtle popping noises when I moved my neck and then became full blown pain. I've read a couple of Dr. Sarno's books and Steve Ozanich's wonderful book. My MRI states: "At C3-C4 there is minimal disc...

Hi, I have been struggling with my left foot since August. I am, or was, a very active, fit 70 year old. The initial problem was a very painful tendon inflammation caused by my flat feet. I saw a podiatrist; received multiple shots of cortisone; had an MRI that indicated no surgery was...

I got a google alert for an article summarizing year end results of studies on arthritis that I'm supplying a link to for those bored with the holidaze partying and shopping. I scanned it quickly and it sounds like nothing new under the sun from the medical/industrial/pharmacal/snake-oyl...

A couple years ago, I was diagnosed with TMS after struggling for years with fibromyalgia as well as numbness, weakness, and tingling sensations throughout my body that I feared were from MS. Once I received the diagnosis (as well as a clear brain scan), the symptoms went away. Shortly after...

Hello, my name is Tim Hutton and I look forward to participating in this forum. Though I experienced significant and bewildering TMS pain (though I knew nothing of TMS) since my early 30’s, the major turning point which out of desperation led me to digging deeply into other possibilities and...

A PAIN IN THE KNEE If you’re having knee pain, from arthritis or osteoarthritis or any other kind of itis, the faculty of the Harvard Medical School says there are many treatments short of surgical replacement. Sure. We all know knee pain, like back pain, is a prime example of pain caused by...

Does running cause knee arthritis? Years ago when I saw a chiropractor for a back injury (falling on some icy concrete stairs – Ouch!), long before I knew about TMS, one of the things he told me was if I was a runner or jogger (which I wasn’t and still am not), do not run on hard surfaces...

I have a good friend with Rhematoid Arthritis who is suffering a lot with pain and I can see his mental outlook is not good. Does anyone know of any stories/people with TMS and Rheumatoid Arthritis? I can't remember anything in my reading/research.

I'll be brief with my background. I first was examined by Dr. Sarno back in the late 70's for serious back pain. I was in my early 20's at the time and was told I would need surgery to repair a degenerated disc (sounds funny now as to how someone in their 20's could have that bad of a case of...

Hi, all. During the chat today I mentioned that although I am very open to the TMS diagnosis, I still struggle with doubt because it's been hard to find others with my symptoms. Several people said they had had similar symptoms. However, searching around I just read somewhere that Dr. Schubiner...
