leg pain

I almost hate to report this, for fear of jinxing myself. lol. But it’s been 2 1/2 years since my hands and arms cramped up as a final symptom on a pile of them that added up to a very stressed out nervous system. My whole body is loosening very slowly, and mostly only noticeable to me. I can...

Hi, everyone— My saga continues. I’m in the doing phase of healing—not just the writing and reading phase. As most of you know, these past 7 days I really upped my game. (Unfortunately, so did my TMS.) But I was prepared for that happening. I did a nice guided meditation yesterday that brought...

What does it take to get rid of TMS? A lot. Time. Changes in habits. Changes in attitudes. More time. MENTAL BATTLE! Battling day in and day out against a little voice that says you’ll never have a life again. Picking yourself up when things feel hopeless and pushing yourself to do one small...

I wanted to thank this community for the guidance and support when I needed it the most. I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t learned about Dr. Sarno and TMS. I’m going to apologize in advance if this is long. My chronic pain symptoms are gone so I figured I’d stop putting off my story. I...

They all say: “getting on with your life” is one of the best ways to heal from TMS. This is really hard for those of us who really got hit hard with a lot of symptoms. One of the most troubling is not being able to walk unassisted. And,not having full access to your hands. I have both of these...

Hi! I’m a big fan of journaling. I’m literally learning more about myself from journaling than I ever thought possible. Anyway, a technique I found on the wiki by @AndrewMillerMFT looked interesting and I tried it. It was Really good! Per Andrew’s instructions, I come to find out (in my...

A great surprise happened for me today! One of my worst triggers is when I spend time with my adult kids. Today was Mother’s Day and 2 of my kids and one daughter-in-law came over. Another of my triggers is walking (in my walker, or otherwise) in front of people. I lock up and get almost like...

I resumed full activity 8 weeks ago ie playing football for 60 mins per week. All my original usual symptoms remain the same, maybe a bit worse but now I have knee pain, lower leg pain, extra glute pain Would you give up running and sports? I’m 35. I don’t feel like it’s good advice this...

Hi everyone- It's been quite a while since I posted anything here. I have a long history with mind-body issues, from childhood asthma and allergies to 30 years of back pain, IBS, carpal tunnel, foot pain, tinnitus, neck pain...and on and on. All of these things have been with me at some point...

Never mind

Hi all, I am new to this forum, buy have been reading this for about 5 years now. That’s because I have been struggling with all sorts of different TMS issues for about 10 years, since 2012. I was always hesitant to join in for various reasons, but now I am at a complete dead end and am...

Hello everyone! I have been able to successfully heal from chronic pelvic pain, back pain, and plantar fasciitis, as well as many other common TMS symptoms. I have become inspired to share my story, and also help to educate people about TMS, and other topics that I feel are intimately...

Hi everyone! My name is Maryanne. I recently learned about TMS after downloading the curable app and a lightbulb went off for me. I don't want to self-disgnose and am fortunate enough to live in the Midwest, so I made an appointment with Dr. John Stracks for next month to see if I should try a...

It started with what seemed like sciatica in my right leg in the fall of 2018. Excruciating pain when walking. I couldn't even put on socks, because I couldn't bend my leg to put my right ankle on my left knee. Went to my PCP because I thought it might be a blood clot. I didn't have any other...

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...

Hi all, long story but I've been dealing with a lot of physical symptoms for a long time. Started with stress based neck and shoulder pain in the past but has become more clever over the years. A few months ago I was in a meeting and my hand started shaking. I freaked out and began googling...

Hello TMSWiki, I discovered TMS/Sarno just about a year ago and unfortunately am not seeing any pain relief so far. Most of the cases I've read involve the person having flare-ups of their symptoms, then working to find out what events were going on at the time, and that provides an answer to...

I had an accident when lifting a palm tree two years ago. I couldn't move for almost 1 week. After I went to see the chirpractor for almost 3 months. It got better but never really went away. I realized that I started living with the pain and it held me back drastically. I didn't go out as I...

Three years ago, I started experiencing chronic shoulder pain, and had to stop pursuing my favourite hobby - rock climbing. The more I tried to heal it (through physiotherapy and rest initially), the worse it got. I had a costly MRI which revealed something called a HAGL lesion - a ligament in...

Hello I didn’t think I’d need to post again once I started to feel improvement but I’m seeking encouragement/advice on if this is normal. I feel truly the source of my pain over the last couple years is TMS.. I want my life back and feel devoted to this program. I had over a week of feeling...
