knee

Hi, Reading Sarno's books and practicing TMS theory since 2005. American living in Asia for 9 years. After weeks of pain I got an x ray-which I regret-showed minor to mild osteoarthritis of both knees. I stopped running in 1997 and have not engaged in any high impact activities since then so I...

One of my favorite TMS stories was about a clinical trial conducted by Dr. Bruce Moseley, who was making a ton of money performing knee surgeries for osteoarthritis but had some suspicions about their efficacy. After he proved that sham surgeries were as good as real ones, he quit the lucrative...

A common knee surgery might be unnecessary or even harmful - just like the findings for common back surgeries (corroborated by a number of our community members over the years). "MRI scans often reveal meniscal tears in healthy people with no symptoms." This will sound familiar to anyone who...

Hey guys! This is Jesse back again. I am completely out of pain! Praise God :D. Now let's talk what worked for me as I share with the rest of our TMS Peers. I got out of knee pain using Journalspeak with Nichole Sachs and Self-Compassion meditation, great that was to be expected. However, I...

My journey started 1 year ago, though I only found out about TMS very recently. I had just picked up running as a new hobby. It was a sort of replacement for weightlifting which I was unable to do because of a right shoulder injury (I won't get into that now...). After finishing a 4km run...

I got up from work one lunchtime with foot pain in my right foot. One week later my knee started hurting so I couldn't cycle. Eventually I required crutches. I had colour and temperature changes in my feet. This lasted 9 months until I discovered mind body syndrome, specifically a Howard...

Hi everyone, looking for some guidance on this one. I’ve known about TMS for 6 years now and healed my chronic pain and other random symptoms with this work. I’ve recently been getting more active and finally admitting to myself that I would like to be healthier and lose some weight as someone...

Hey guys. I was cured of severe chronic pain a few years ago via reading, testimonies and rehabilitation of TMS. It was great. Since then I had a few TMS flare ups that did resolve. If you read my thread history you will see that. However, now I have knee pain. I have never had knee pain. I...

hey all! I love reading success stories, so here's a quick one of mine. I used to be very quick to injure myself working out, to the point that I could almost never work-out. Once I discovered TMS I overcame this very quickly because it was mmma brain. Yesterday I was jumping rope - I'm...

Hi all, I'm new here - have read a lot of the threads (which have been very helpful and insightful) and thought I'd share my own story in search of some advice. I was introduced to the concept of pain & the brain about a year ago, but have only seriously started to delve into TMS about two...

Hi fellow persistant pain folks! just like you I have been experiencing persistent knee pain/weakness in just about every waking moment of my life with no structural or concrete disgnoses. on the other hand I did have some chiro adjustment early into treatment which I believe are at the root...

About 7 weeks ago, probably a week or two after I started working at my new job as a software developer, I started noticing that the inside of my right knee started hurting about a week into working. I thought this may have been related to me playing soccer one of those afternoons, so I ignored...

Guys, I feel like I'm gonna go crazy playing the symptom imperative whack-a-mole bangheada ! I posted before about vulvodynia/pelvic pain, which has gotten wayyyy better, only to be replaced with reflux/GERD (had it before, just became more prominent), which I can deal with, and now knee pain...

I have knee pain that started in the left, moved to the right and now is in both knees. My PT, chiro and ortho doc all seem stumped by the pain as my issues don't explain the lingering pain. I am trying to get my brain to accept that I have TMS (symptoms get worse with emotions and stress) but...

Context: (I have TMS currently for other reasons). I was at the beach and there was a tall pier very far out with murky water. I cannonballed in and immediately landed on the sand with only about 1.5m of water to break my fall. I felt fine after but two days later and my left inner knee is very...

Hello, has anyone struggled with their pain ‘spreading’ I’m not sure what else to call it. My initial pain started in the right side of my SI joint, then the same on my left side and now my right knee is agony. I have been diagnosed with an inflamed plica in my right knee back in November...

I was playing soccer with some of my friends on friday night. We played for about 2 hours however towards the end my right knee started hurting a lot and I left for home since running became painful. There was no contact it just started hurting randomly. 3 days later it still hurts and going up...

Hi everyone - I am really struggling with some knee pain that is being resistant to my TMS/Sarno treatment so far. For some context, I've eradicated chronic pain around other areas before (post-hip-surgery, then later related to overuse "injuries" in my foot & shin) so I'm familiar with the...

Came across this article and thought it may be interesting and worth reading for the TMS crowd: https://www.theguardian.com/global/2021/aug/22/how-digital-media-turned-us-all-into-dopamine-addicts-and-what-we-can-do-to-break-the-cycle (Constant craving: how digital media turned us all into...

I am struggling with doubt and just making heads or tales of what is happening. I have been running for two weeks and yesterday had a big flair in knee pain (bilateral) and more acutely at a surgery site in my right knee (feb. 2021) after 1.5 weeks of no pain. Then my right forearm is...
