back pain

Hey everyone, I am trying to accept the fact that I have TMS. However all the recovery stories I see and read, people say "I was so close to having surgery" or "I can't believe I almost had surgery" etc. However, I actually had surgery, a microdiscectomy on my L4 L5 disc in my lower spine. This...

The last challenge for me was running. I was now totally pain free except when I ran. As soon as I set off my back would tense, the pain would seize hold around my glutes and would stop me dead within minutes. I knew that I would then be hobbling for a week. I had to clear this last barrier...

Goodmorning everyone I'm sorry to say, but it's a difficult period, after about a month free from symptoms (or with very tolerable symptoms) here I am again looking for support, advice, looking for a safe place where I can compare the experiences of recent times . As I read for many of you...

I wrote this poem in Dec 2017 as my recovery started quickly progressing (I’ve never written any poetry before this) and have only showed 3 people in that time :/ I feels nice to have summed up that period of my life, and to give me some closure :) :) Injury, followed by loss, confusion my ego...

As you know physical treatments for TMS pain is not recommended. Yet, there are times when you may need some relief as you go through the healing process. I posted before about L-arginine and its pain-relieving effects. The advantage to taking L-arginine is that it is not a pharmaceutical...

There’s been lots of debate about the role TMS can play in creating and sustaining localized & systemic inflammation. This chicken vs. egg sort of conundrum is at the center of my case, and though I’m still processing it, a recent experience has definitely altered my perspective. Does the stress...

My whole story is too long to copy here, so you can read it on my blog below if you want. Here's the short of it: a year ago, after suffering from increasing back pain (sacroiliac joint pain and herniated disc, or so they told me) for several months, I became bedridden for 6 weeks, unable to...

Hi guys, I am a 24 year old male. In September 2017 I injured myself at the gym by doing heavy core work. It slowly got worse over time and in March 2018 the pain was so severe in my lower back that I had to quit my job. I was bedridden and depressed. I had an MRI which showed a fairly normal...

Dr. Sarno's book is life. I see myself on every page. If you haven't read it - give it a shot! It's really helping me so much!

I am 33 years old and have had chronic back pain that started 9 years ago when learning to drum and everything went downhill from there. For the last year and a half I have had extreme chronic back pain that took away my quality of life & had me go on disability for 3.5 months this last summer...

After 20 plus years of TMS and over five years of doing the work and not giving up, but giving in, I can finally say I am CURED! From nerve and muscle pain, IBS, balance issues, rib spasms, “carpal tunnel and other weird shoulder crap to pelvic and back pain and more, I have kicked TMS to the...

Im 26 and am a regular weight lifter. Nothing heavy or crazy, just try to stay in shape. In 2016 I developed pain in both knees. doctor said it was runners knee. I did PT and it didn't get rid of it but eventually after 6 months it went away. Last January in 2017, I developed lower back pain as...

I am currently suffering from lower back pain/ache. It started constantly aching 12 weeks ago but I estimate it was 8 weeks coming gradually before it became constant. I have never suffered with back pain before (40 year old male) and it has really thrown me. The reason I think it may be tms...

If you are reading this, you probably have read countless stories of people in pain. My story isn't any different. Years of mysterious pain. What started in my back, became headaches, hip/leg pain, heartburn, stomach issues, anxiety, sleep problems, MRI's, bulging discs, 'structural imbalances'...

I am eagerly waiting audiobooks for Steve O's The Great Pain Deception and Dr Schubiners book. While looking on Audible, I saw Steve had a book labeled "Back Pain Permanent Healing" Has anyone listened to this one? If I already have GPD is this worth it? I really like audiobooks because I can...

Has anyone else experienced this ? In February my back pain started out in the lower left area. As of a few weeks ago it has moved more to the middle region in the middle where my spine is or alittle bit to my upper back as well. I also haven't really done much tms work besides trying to...

To those who have healed or currently have pelvic pain. Do any of you also have lower back pain ? .this seems to be my most consistant (when I wake up my back is stiff) and I had foot pain (plantar fasciitis) before the back pain started. The back pain started after a fall on my tailbone and...

As members who are familiar with my posts know I suffer from anxiety and depression and suppressed anger and emotional stress. I am going through a lot of stress at the moment with anxiety and being suffering dental pain, headaches and occasional muscle cramp in my right calf of my leg. Anyway...
