hip pain

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'...

It seems from this NYT article that Tom Petty's death by accidental drug overdose had a lot to do with the chronic pain he was experiencing as a result of extreme pressure he was placing on himself to perform during his recent grueling 40-city last tour...

Hi! My name is Kerry and unfortunately I am only 17 and I have already been through the worst of TMS. I am a serious dancer (I dance around 20 hours a week) and I switched studios this year to get more serious training, which I believe caused me stress and repressed emotions because it was so...

I have used this forum on and off in the past as I have worked on recovering from my hip, sacrum, leg, and back pain but I have never written a success story. The help that Dr. Sarno has given me (and my husband who has cured his upper back pain) has been immeasurable. I was very active as a...

Happy New Year! I finished reading Dr Sarno's MindBody Prescription book 11 days ago and am 5 days into the Structured Education Program. I feel very close to fully believing TMS is the cause of my right groin pain (tightness/pinching) and deep right buttock pain (worst while sitting!). I...

My story begins with a bike ride. On July 15th, 2012 I was on a one-hundred mile bike ride when an abnormal pressure manifested in my right leg. The sensation wasn’t particularly painful, so I didn’t think much of it. One week later, I went on another bike ride; however, this time the pressure...

Around November 2014 my right hip area started hurting a fair amount. I don’t know what caused it, though I did remember feeling a slight muscle tweak as I was bounding up the stairs. After a while, I was limping about painfully. I remember doing a food run for our Christmas get-together, having...

I went to the doctor about a year ago to talk about my sore shoulders, back and hip. The doctor told me I may have FM. I believe FM is just what you are diagnosed with when the doctors don't know what else to diagnose you with. I was told once by a wise old (older) person that "if you look for...

hi , i am wondering if tight hip flexors can really be TMS?

Hi, I find I only get hip pain after I wake up from sleeping. The first thing after waking up and feeling the pain is grabbing something like a tennis ball and massage my hip. Sometimes it gets rid of the pain or sometimes it reduces it from about 7/10 to 3/10. It seems if I were to accept...

I've been pretty busy with work and other things in my life these days, mostly away from SEP. But I didn't forget journaling when my symptoms are really bad particularly. While I was away from SEP, I kept using TMS healing techniques on my mind. I first tried to enjoy and be happy with my life...

I was encouraged by my practitioner, Daniel Lyman, to finally post a success story here 'cos he felt that I was at a stage of my recovery that I could be called a 'success'. I think that in itself speaks volumes as to how far I've come along my TMS journey. My pain has not gone away 100% but I...

I am a former patient of Dr. Sarno. At the time I attended his lectures in the late 1990's, he suggested as one part of my recovery that I read certain pages of "Healing Back Pain" for 30 days. I had been experiencing debilitating back spasms and after doing as he suggested, in these years...

Thanks to everyone on the TMS Wiki for their support, stories and encouragement. Here is my success story. For anyone who is skeptical, don't be, it works! After about 6 months of progressively worsening hip (buttock) pain, a friend gave me the Sarno books. I started reading them and they made...

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...
