Hello TMS family, After discovering/reading all of Sarno's books in Jan '19 and bingeing the videos, I'm 1000% sure TMS is what I've been dealing with for the past nearly 17 years. Part of recovery is to share and be heard, so I thank you in advance for reading this. (Adding a complete history...

Hello, I am a 30 year old man and have dealt w TMS for 3.5 years. I have seen a TMS doctor various times, all of which he told me that I have TMS. I for some reason still struggle deeply with the disorder. I have spoken personally w Steve Ozanich, who also has told me I fit all the...

I’m 35 and I live in Perth, Australia. I had Knee pain, neck pain, Wrist pain and stomach ache for years but all are gone now. Reading other people’s stories and experiences helped me a lot in overcoming the pain and that’s why I’m writing my story. I’m writing it now that I’m 99% pain free. My...

Hi all, This forum is amazing. I'm a new member but have been browsing for awhile! I'm a 25-year-old female and classic TMS personality. I discovered Dr. Sarno and this theory last year while suffering from sudden onset and debilitating RSI in my hands; my work in digital marketing is 100% at...

Hi supporters! I don’t know how much background to give, except that one of these days I’ll post some success stories on here. I’ve seen TMS do some crazy things in my life, and it never ceases to amaze me. Just this week, i had an MRI to rule out some crazy neuro symptoms I had been having for...

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...

All, I have recently freed myself from more than 18 months of intense knee pain that had left me immobilized for some time. Dr. Sarno's books and Alan Gordon's great program (thank you Alan and team!) were the key to my progress. I have written a blog with my story of the long, confusing...

Hi - I've posted on this forum before regarding my lower back pain (TMS, resolved completely) and plantar facsitis (also TMS, resolved completely). I am now suffering from knee pain after a kind of confusing set of events that are making me very confused as to if it's a real physical thing or...

If any of you are in the Chicago area and have TMS, you're probably familiar with Dr. John Stracks... he's an excellent TMS physician who's been at Northwestern for many years and just left to start his own practice. He's actually MY doctor, and he's the one who introduced me to TMS concepts...

On my 34th day of SEP for hip pain, and have been battling a bad back spasm and now I can hardly stand due to my right knee. It started about about 5 days ago after walking a bit further than usual and now I can't walk at all. This is a totally new symptom and am wondering if it is overuse or...

Hello All, I'm back to my TMS protocol to get rid of some pain. I took a year and a half off of training for any events (mostly triathlons) due to life kinda taking over. The last event was back in Sept 2015 which was a half ironman. But I feel like I need to train for something as I've not...

I am a registered nurse, in my sixties, retired. I have practiced in various health care settings for 40 years. My professional experiences taught me a lot about health, illness, disease, birth, death. I thought that I understood at a basic level, pretty much what there was to know about stress...

Hello Everyone, Searching in the web... I think I found the "DR. Sarno for Knee issues", specially for patello-femoral pain. I am going to summarize below some of his theory, and would encourage you to watch his conference on youtube: Scott F. Dye on Why Your Knee Pain Diagnosis Stinks (And...

Hello everyone, I am struggling with my knee and my autonomy is getting more and more limited, to the point I can’t walk or stay standing for a very limited time without pain and inflammation. After 10 months of the first outburst, the pain is becoming more and more debilitating. The diagnosis...

I became aware of Dr. Sarno's only 3 days ago. I was trying to do some research on what might help my husband with his back and knee pain. I got Dr. Sarno's book on Saturday and read it in one sitting. The crazy part is, it describes me even better than my husband! I think anyone that knows me...

My question is on pain moving around. I've had new symptoms over the last week - knee, wrist and elbow. All old injuries! However, my back and leg pain have continued whilst the new symptoms have come and gone (none of the symptoms at the same time though). Anyone experienced this? My story...

After working the program for a month now, when I came to today's Question to Ponder asking about new symptoms after working through other issues, I seems to me that there might be some of this happening. My problem has primarily been sciatica in my right leg since last year around this time...
