herniated disc

Hello all. On a recent MRI I have been diagnosed with the below herniations. Thoracic and cervical are new (6 months) but the lumbar ones have been around for awhile (years). I’ve been feeling mild pain in the neck and mid back for around 6 months. Pain in the low back for around 3 years...

Hello everyone! I just gained some trust in the diagnosis when i came around to this comment under a Dr. Schubiner Video on Youtube: „This view overlooks many studies. Over 70% of the nerve fibres in the body are designed to do one thing - register pain. If those nerve fibres or nerve routes...

I've been dealing with TMS in the form of sciatica and back pain for the past 7 years. It's the typical TMS story, getting a diagnosis of a herniated disc after dealing with unknown pain for months, going through dozens of doctors and treatments, and finding zero relief until reading Dr. Sarno's...

Hi folks, I've been writing this essay of my TMS experience in my head for a few weeks now and I just want to get it out there because I am so thankful and overjoyed at having recovered. I hope that others who find themselves in a similar situation or with a similar diagnosis can find this and...

Has anyone experienced little pain but arm/shoulder weakness that they ultimately attributed to TMS and if so did the strength return ? Thanks

I have been dealing with TMS for the past 25 years. Primarily sciatica L4-L5 & L5 S1. I had 2 failed back surgeries at 19 & w 20 before I discovered Sarno. I go years with no pain and then get flare ups. Anyway my son was wrestling (which he didn’t like but was giving it a try) and after a...

So I have a herniated disk in my back confirmed by mri. What is dr sarnos stance on this. Is the disk causing the pain or something else?

Long post here. But maybe it will inspire hope to not give up; even after decades of suffering. It's my success story which I wrote in 2005. In 2005 -- after 20+ years of asthma, hives, allergy, depression, anxiety, and more -- I got well. Journaling was the catalyst, and possibly the major...

My MRI shows large herniated disc and a pinched nerve causing numbness. A little history: My pain started after I did lunges in the gym and it lasted for over a year. MRI showed disc herniation, which caused sciatica. About few months ago I had a massive back spasm and after the pain subsided...

Hey MindBody people, I put together a list of research studies showing that the following are NOT the cause of back pain: Herniated discs Disc bulges Degenerative Disc Disease Stenosis In the list, you'll also find studies showing that the following are NOT effective for chronic pain in the...

Hello my friends. I have cervical disc herniations, kyphosis and scoliosis. My main problem is left neck/shoulder pain, brain fog and dizziness/vertigo. When I went to physiotherapy with Neck MRI, they found some herniated discs with minimum pinched nerves. And they said pinched nerves are the...

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...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this chiropractic patient's 4 disk bulges/herniations don't seem to bother him as much as the tension in his muscles and tendons that are creating his posture and pain problems. You'll notice that the standard leg raise test doesn't seem to make him hurt: Seems to...

My story with tms begins many years ago, I've had migraines since my teenage years, then I had irritable bowl syndrome during my late twenties and it capitulated with sciatica pain in my early thirties. My sciatica pain began two years ago, while I was doing crossfit, and at that time I...

I was successful in following the recovery programs on this site, after reading Healing Back Pain and The Divided Mind. In 2011 I injured my back and over the course of a year it became chronically worse. I tried Chiro, physio, pills, traction, acupuncture, massage. My life was revolved around...

Hi everyone I am new here so let me start off by talking about where this all started. I am a 26 year old male. When I was 20 I was diagnosed with acid reflux and given medication to stop it. I accepted the diagnoses and moved on never having an issue. I have always suffered with headaches and...

Hi everyone! Let me first saw how happy I have to have found an active community discussing TMS. I am at the beginning stages of recovery and I am trying to remain hopeful that I will soon be pain free. My back pain has been prominent for about a year. I went through the usual Doctor...
