back pain

If I had to pick one thing to change about my life? I would like to have read Dr Sarno’s Book about 30 years ago. I might have avoided a lot of unnecessary misery. Unfortunately there are no time machines, so there is not much I can do about this. Today I would like to have more friends...

Hi all! As some of you know, I've been on the forums for several months now and recovered from my own TMS back pain successfully. Of course this has been an eye-opening experience to say the least, as it has been for many of you as well. As a PT myself, i've been very moved by my discovery of...

So i had 3 months of back pain, sciatica. Since i got such good results off just reading a book i now am getting lazy, i've actually done nothing else but listen to audios at night. I heard you are suppose to use journal, i dont even know what to do next. I did have a little pain today...

I just finished up writing my story and thought I'd repost it here from my profile page. Thanks for reading! One spring day while I was in my mid-twenties I came down with back pain. After a few days I began to try treating it with stretching exercises my parents suggested. Finally, after about...

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone can relate to this. I have had a very strange upper back pain for a few weeks. It is intermittent, i feel it for maybe 3 or 4 seconds (fairly severe), deep, and burning, it feels like a nerve pain. It then goes away and returns every 5 or 10 minutes. It also...

Hey I read Sarno's book 3 months ago and am so amazed at the results. I've had 20 plus years of chronic lower back pain. Today I'm feeling pain free from what I used to get (spasms). This is the most I've played basketball and martial arts in a long time and I'm loving it. However, I've noticed...

Hi So, I came across the Healing Back Pain book in the first week of July - so 2 months ago and then came across the TMS wiki and feel like I've read everything, understand everything and still no relief. I mean I fit the profile, hard working perfectionist and pain started when I was working...

In this article from the Guardian, I see where the NHS in the UK no longer recommends acupuncture as an effective way to manage non-specific lower back pain and sciatica: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/mar/24/acupuncture-for-low-back-pain-no-longer-recommended-for-nhs-patients...

Hi! I really hope you could take some time to help and advise me! I'm a 25 year old man from The Netherlands, suffering from lower back pain for 2 years now (haven't played sports, danced et cetera). It started when my life was quite stressful. I couldn't walk normally and it was (is) awful...

Hi all. I've been familiar with TMS for awhile now as I've always been a somaticizer of sorts, the worst of mine being pelvic pain. Usually they were random things like headaches, itching, etc. and I was able to just sit with it and recognize it as TMS and within a few days it would usually go...

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...
