back pain

This video is another short but terrific interview with another TMS believer: This fellow had nearly six years of chronic back pain and spent $20,000 a year on medical treatments and diagnoses. Then he discovered Dr. JohnSarno and Dr. David Schechter and after a week 50 percent of his pain...

Another short video on Mindbody healing: This video shows a woman named Debra who has back pain if she works in gardening in her yard, so she contents herself with indoor artwork framing pictures. The narrator talks about a study that shows how the brain can control pain. One way is through...

Dr. David Schechter posted a video success story we can all benefit from watching. In a short video, a man said he had suffered from years of back pain and an MRI showed he had degenerative back problems. He tried everything medical but nothing helped until he read Dr. Sarno's book Healing...

Below is an excellent short video interview with Dr. Sarno when he was 84 years old (he is in his early 90s now) in which he explains TMS and how it helps people heal from pain. The brain causes us to be in pain by reducing oxygen or blood to a part of the body when we repress an emotion that...

(after reading this back I felt this might be a little long winded but I don’t know of another way to tell it) My back pain suddenly happened one week before my 18th birthday in 2000. I was playing a rugby training match and with no one around me I turned, with the sharp pain that stuck my back...

Hi all, I visited this site a little while ago and someone recommended the book 'The Great Pain Deception by Steven Ray Ozanich' and I have to say, even though it is a fairly long book reading it has eased my back pain considerably. Finally understanding the correlation between unconscious...

Hi, all... One of the great things that we can do with our wonderful new forum is that we can post YouTube videos! I thought I'd start us off by posting a success story because those are always good, but I encourage others to post whatever videos they think others might find helpful. This...

Good day readers. I'm new to this site but have been checking in for almost a year now since discovering Dr Sarno and the term 'TMS'. I've had TMS for over twenty years and am now almost completely pain free, all thanks Dr Sarno, Steve Ozanich’s book “The Great Pain Deception” and TMS wiki...

Hi All, I am brand new to this or any forum on TMS. I have only read the books. I am looking for a little help with some struggles I am having with TMS. Long story short, I have struggled with back and hip pain for 10 years and had always thought my ailment to be physical in nature until...

This is my first post here. Just joined last night. I am a member at tmshelp.com forum for a couple years and post frequently over there. I have know about this forum but just didn't have the time to spend at both places. Don't want to be redundant. I saw quite a few members belong to both...

Pain becomes an addiction. A fix. I’m not talking about dull aches. They’re just annoying, an irritation. I’m talking about the heroin of pain. The hard stuff. The pain so bad you transcend and escape. The pain so bad you allow yourself the really strong painkillers saved for only these...

I had TMS once. And I thought I had it beaten. I was so confident in my success that I wrote a blog, describing how I freed myself from 2 years of chronic pain. I wanted to rid the world of chronic pain by directing sufferers to Dr Sarno’s books. But now, reading this forum, I feel a seed of...

Last night we attended a small Christmas party with a handful of couples. It was a lovely evening and of particular interest to me was my observations through the lens of TMS. Probably half, HALF, of the discussions revolved around health challenges. Who was having what surgery. What...

Hi Everyone, I'm currently working on an extended version of my recovery story but in the meantime I'd like to share my review for Healing Back Pain on Amazon.com. "26 years old and have suffered from chronic back/neck/shoulder/pelvic pain for 3.5 years. Probably saw 20ish doctors, physical...

Hi there- Just wanted to share my story in hopes others can benefit. I found this site very helpful when I was suffering so here goes, shortest version as possible: I am 48 yrs old and have had TMS since I was 13. Of course I didn't know this but now with the knowledge I have learned about TMS...

However, if you don't treat the underlying cause (TMS), it will just come back in another area.

TIGER WOODS, PAIN, AND TMS Golf phenomenon Tiger Woods hit a tee shot on the 13th hole of the Barclays golf championship yesterday, then collapsed to the ground in pain on his hands and knees after suffering a severe back muscle spasm. His shot went far left and into a water hazard. Spectators...

I've been encouraged to write my story, so here goes! My first bout of debilitating back pain occurred when I was about 13. My mother had a long history of back pain, including two failed spinal fusions. I saw orthopedists who diagnosed scoliosis, and I tried various girdle-like back braces...
