exercise

Hi everyone, As my back was feeling so much better last week, I did what I was afraid to do for some time, i.e. went running. I don't run much usually, and only on even surfaces, but I'm an avid climber and hiker, so not a couch potato. This time I went running in a forest and there was a lot...

I hope its ok to post this here, if not apologies, I organise laughter yoga sessions on Wednesdays at 7PM and Sundays at 6PM and I thought people on here might be interested in joining as they are very good for mood and well-being. We do really fun playful exercises with the idea of "fake it...

For a while I have been wondering if I have chronic fatigue syndrome due to feeling constantly drowsy and tired, and not being able to exercise to the same extent without experiencing just an overall feeling of being unwell, along with dizziness and headaches. Thankfully cognitively I still...

Hi guys! I have a lot of pain and muscle tension after exercising, mostly on the head (tension headache), neck, shoulders and upper back. It started a fee years ago, I used to be very active (run, muay thai, weight lifting...), now just a simple pilates class will give me pain in this area. The...

Hi, I’ve been hearing from a lot of people that intense exercise is key to recovery because it reduces stress and sends strong signals to the brain that nothing is wrong or broken in the body. However, I’ve also heard from some people that it took them way back in the process. People say it’s...

I have been diagnosed with tendonitis of the forearm. My two main symptoms are general weakness of the forearm, and pain in the forearm. I believe TMS is the cause of the pain, but the weakness is clearly a physical matter. I have visible disuse atrophy at the tendon cluster just below the...

Hello again, Good news, the last EMG test results were fine. The technician said that probably I don't have any muscle disease. I'm still waiting for an official confirmation from my neurologist next month but it made me more certain in the TMS diagnosis. Just a reminder for those who didn't...

I’ve suffered from TMS for almost 5 years. After 3.5 years of intense buttock, leg and foot pain (which sometimes switches sides) I discovered TMS and I’ve been working through it, gradually progressing with ups and downs. I went through 4 surgeries and all the meds on the planet which did...

I walked over three miles this morning. One of my biggest symptoms is extreme tightness all over my body. I walked through all the tightness but now both knees are a little swollen. Please tell me this is tms normal.

I'm fairly new to the TMS concept and really trying to believe I have TMS. I started the day off walking over three miles today. I'm pretty religious about exercising; although, I haven't gotten back to my old exercises of yoga and cycling. During the walk, I was upbeat. Every time I felt a...

I'm 35 years old and I have upper back pain & ribs pain, anxiety and extreme fatigue for couple of months. More recently I developed severe neck pain and TMJ as well. I have noticed that 2 days after even extremely gentle exercise (lets say 15 minutes walk) I feel that my ribs are tight and I...

I've mentioned in other posts that one of my goals has been to resume exercising on my elliptical. I love to use an elliptical because the benefit is immediate. You can burn calories, exercise muscles, and get a cardio workout all at the same time. The last time I used it was 2014 -right before...

So about 2 weeks ago I decided to slowly start to get into weightlifting again (I stopped for 2-3 years mainly because I was lazy and didnt want to go) growing up it was a huge part of my life and I always enjoyed it as a hobby but for some reason I dont know why I ever stopped. Its definitely...

I am getting closer to full acceptance of my pain being TMS. As I get myself active again my only fear is an increased risk of an actual injury. Are Oxygen deprived muscles more tense/stiff, making me more likely to really pull/strain a muscle while exercising? If I feel like I pull something...

i’ve had severe TMS which causes my right foot and leg to be in extreme pain for over two years. I have tried everything like most and have had significant improvement with Dr. Sarno’s method which I discovered about 4 months ago. Unfortunately I still have some pain which comes and goes in my...

I've been reading @Steve Ozanich's book 'The Great Pain Deception' and found it quite alarming exactly what he had to go through physically/pain-wise to get better...and depressing too because I don't know how I could do anything like he forced himself to do despite the torturous pain it caused...

Past few days have been eye openers for me.i realised I was living in a lot of fear and anxiety. I used a punching bag to take out some emotions and I think it worked(any other better way?). My pain has reduced by about 40 percent and it is moving around. But what I constantly think is how 3...

so I have been doing the work for around 3 months now. My pain which began as upper back and chest pain moved into my lower back/ butt about 6 weeks ago. I have had some days that are better than others but most days are pretty bad. Sometimes it’s concentrated in my lower back and sometimes...

My neck (especially my trapezius) doesn't hurt anymore as it used to but it's still tight and gets spasms sometimes. I wonder if it's ok to exercise it even if it's having episodes? Thanks

Hi I have been returning to activity and exercise in spite of the pain in my left leg and buttock (feels like nerve pain, pins and needs, deep soreness in my hip) I have gone back to riding my horse, and completed a 4 day trail ride last week with minimal pain Last week I started a programme of...
