back pain

Hello, I'm a 42-year-old Frenchman, sorry for my sometimes imperfect English. For years I've suffered from various pains, and it was only a few days ago, thanks to a professor, that I realized I was suffering from a nervous system issue, and not Lyme disease, which I'd suspected for the past...

In 1984, while working at a library, I happened upon Dr. Sarno's book, and I was spellbound. I, like my mother, was debilitated by back spasms, and still am. I am a true believer in TMS, and I know trauma, big or small, can rear its ugly head in the form of pain, and is a great reminder that it...

Hey guys, I am a 29yr old male who has been familiar with Sarno's work since late 2020 and have cured myself of many TMS symptoms in the past. I'm working through the latest symptom right now (dry eyes) but have been remarkable progress there too which I'll talk about -- I know that I will beat...

My Success Story! Hi everyone, I wanted to share my story in the hope that it will inspire others . My journey began with two minor muscular injuries at the gym, one in my upper back and the other in my groin/high hamstring. Looking back, I understand that whilst these injuries would have...

I'm a 27-year-old male named Achen. I used to work in finance and stock trading. For the past three years, I've been suffering from chronic shoulder and lower back pain. Last August, after an MRI, the doctor said my cervical lordosis was very bad, which made me highly vigilant. Since then, I've...

Hello, Adding to the repository of inspirational stories and my lessons learnt in the past few years. I suffered from a dull low back pain starting 2010 which time and again flared up. Sometimes it would be an acute pain on either side of the low back, at times making it difficult to move. I...

So, this was an interesting doctor’s visit for me and I thought this may help others or bring comfort somehow in regards to back pain and the notion that muscle tension “is the root” back pain. Spoiler alert, it’s not always. I went to my doctor’s office for a follow-up after a car accident I...

The back pain I endured for three decades seemed to be a natural result of my profession as a geologist working summers in the most remote and rugged parts of the Arctic wilderness. Carrying 100-pound-plus backpacks of rocks up and down steep, unstable talus slopes, in freezing rain, with high...

Hey guys, Kevin here. (26M) My horrible back pain is almost gone now which is amazing. Growing up, I dealt with migraines, especially when I was like 15. My doctor just chalked it up to puberty, and I guess that might have been true, as it went from like once every week or two to more like every...

Hey guys, my name is Patrik. Im 31 yo from Germany. I apologize in advance for my english, which isnt going to be perfect. I found out about this forum and im seeking for confirmation whether you think i have TMS or not, at this point i believe i match 95% of the common pattern for TMS, but let...

Success story I wrote for the journal speak group I was in. This is my success story from hypermobile CTD and fibro dx after 5+ years of TMS work. I know how important success stories were for me when I started. Mindbody work has saved my life and I have become obsessed with taking my body to...

Hi there, I'm a 26 year old female and I've had chronic pain issues for the last seven years, starting in my knees and at this point, over the years, I’ve had pain in at least 12 different parts of my body that I can easily remember. The biggest issue at the moment is my wrist pain which has...

Hi all. I had to come back here after years of just feeling great and living my best life. I still am but my back pain has returned the last week. The difference though when I used to have this I would feel doomed but now I know it will go away, but I’m very impatient . I tweaked my back at...

I just watched this presentation by Dr. Not in Hadler on back pain. He is the author of “Stabbed in The Back” and 15 other books, 200 medical papers, and more. very interesting, informative, and engaging.

I wanted to thank this community for the guidance and support when I needed it the most. I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t learned about Dr. Sarno and TMS. I’m going to apologize in advance if this is long. My chronic pain symptoms are gone so I figured I’d stop putting off my story. I...

I am a health care worker who healed from over 15 hears of chronic hip and back pain. My recovery was not linear, but marked by many peaks and valleys. I initially developed bilateral hip pain after a fall while skating outside. I just assumed it would eventually go away, but it lingered for a...

I have been experiencing groin pain (penis, urethra, scrotum, etc.) since February. I have undergone every form of imaging & testing (Pelvic MRI, ultrasound, urinalysis, bloodwork) with nearly unremarkable results (only mild inflammation of L5). I have undergone 8 sessions of Pelvic Floor...
