back pain

Hi everyone, I have come a long way in my recovery, I remember how bad things used to be and wonder how I got through them. After all the pain symptoms I overcame, I still have this nagging back pain after work. I'm working part time, 5 hour days. Nothing strenuous, just indoors office work...

I don't know if anyone who doesn't have back pain will understand how happy I am to find this forum. I'm 25 years old and have been suffering from severe lower back pain for the past 4 years. It was diagnosed as a herniated disc. I've tried everything. Steroid shots, acupuncture, acupressure...

I became aware of Dr. Sarno's only 3 days ago. I was trying to do some research on what might help my husband with his back and knee pain. I got Dr. Sarno's book on Saturday and read it in one sitting. The crazy part is, it describes me even better than my husband! I think anyone that knows me...

My question is on pain moving around. I've had new symptoms over the last week - knee, wrist and elbow. All old injuries! However, my back and leg pain have continued whilst the new symptoms have come and gone (none of the symptoms at the same time though). Anyone experienced this? My story...

I was very active ( both physically and socially) 27 year guy who loves to walk/Jog/ weight lifting in gym and sports ( specially cricket). I didn't know what is a back pain. Stress and anger are unknown buddies for me. But one day i started feeling mild low back pain. Obviously like every one i...

I have been trying the TMS approach for a while now after few years of chronic back pain, but not yet pain free. Anyhow, the other day I bent to lift something - twisted and sprained a muscle in my low back. Not a medical diagnosis, just my guess at what happened. On various occasion over the...

I'll try to make it quick (first post)... My name is Daniel. I started having joint issues in knees, hips, shoulders, elbows and ankles about 8 years ago (21 y/o). Eventually developed back and sacrum pain which then turned into burning stinging pain down legs and in sacrum. Developed an...

Dear friends, I keep on being astonish how much the behaviour of our parents influence us. It seems like their patterns of behaving has imprented into me and I carry it all the life with me. If I now see situations that hurt me in my adulthood I see the roots of my behaviour in my childhood, in...

I am having a bad TMS day. Woke up feeling bad. I didn't sleep well and my body is telling me so. My neck, low back, and shoulder aches. Last night I went to bed with low back and right foot pain (think I twisted it wrong). It's so frustrating. I keep telling this pain that I know its...

So my usual pain is gone. I have none of that. I've had a cold for a week and throughout this duration, my back pain moved from my SI joints/glutes to higher up and actually kinda radiates to my stomach. I think it's TMS but just wondering if the moving pain is a sign my brain has caught on...

Question about - Meditation, Mindfulness, Guided Imagery, Self-Hypnosis, Breathing, etc. I have tried some online Guided Meditation, and do find some helpful at relaxing or quieting the mind. Wanted to get others thoughts on what works? After listening multiple times - I sometimes just get...

I read Armchair's Linguists Success Story for DAY 11. The SEP asks if I see myself in the story. I do, and I have also seen some of the success of acknowledging I have TMS. Two weeks ago, I could barely sit at my desk, and definitely not with my legs crossed. The sciatic would kick in heavy...

I'll try to keep this short. Haven't been on this forum for a while.those who know me remember a desperate person who was searching for answers and trying to understand this Tension Syndrome. As I continue on this Tms journey,I can say that I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. To...

My story begins with a bike ride. On July 15th, 2012 I was on a one-hundred mile bike ride when an abnormal pressure manifested in my right leg. The sensation wasn’t particularly painful, so I didn’t think much of it. One week later, I went on another bike ride; however, this time the pressure...

I broke and displaced five transverse processes (L1-4 and T12) and had two inguinal hernias that opened further from the fall and required surgery. I was bleeding internally and had a lot of soft tissue damage and had very poor care at the hospital, which included waiting in the ER for four...

My general practitioner agreed that I should see a physician in our area that specializes in treating patients with TMS. She said she believes TMS is real but it is very difficult to cure. I was discouraged by that. I respect this doctor and she is aware of the back pain and other symptoms I...

Hi All I haven't posted in a while and I thought I better share a bit about my last 5 months since my last acute tms hit. What happened is I acknowledged my back pain as tms. Then I stopped thinking about tms, hit the gym 2-3 times a week, journalled a couple of times a week, started to learn...

A nice September day in 2010: A 35 year old squash playing fit me bounding around life happily...casually discussed some painless and bloodless hemorrhoid development with a very senior surgeon (who happened to be a friend of the family)...ended up getting convinced to undergo a "minor"...

After reading this article I think TMS is perhaps not a repressed emotion, but the stress>pain linkage is an emotion itself. To me, that's a better way to describe it--since experts can't really agree on what an emotion actually is anyway. I feel sad, I cry. I feel angry, I rage. I feel happy...
