Hi there, Last week while standing still (taking a break from the dishes) all of a sudden it hit me: a very sudden and very painfull pain in my lower back, above my buttocks on the left side. I have never felt something like this before. I literally couldn't walk anymore. I went to bed in the...

Hello everyone, for over a year now, I have been dealing with TMS/MBS/biopsychosocial pain model. I have had lower back pain for almost three years and neurological pain (electric shocks, tingling, sensory disturbances) in both legs below the knees for 1.5 years. Like many others, I am...

I've been pain-free from my lower back for almost 5 years now and always promised myself that I'd give back to the community that helped heal me, so here it is. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Hopefully, someone else who is suffering can see themselves in my journey...

Hello! I have successfully leaped out of the cycle of depression and have started my journey to a pain-free life thanks to Dr. Sarno and this forum. Thank you! Currently reading his book and have a question about a specific type of sharp pain. (I have many different types of pain going on, this...

Met with an Orthopedic Surgeon and had x-rays of my back. He said my spine looked great for a 43 year old, no sign of compression or herniations. If anything he said I might have some small irregularities of my SI joints which is where my paid resides. he said my back lipomas are normal and...

Hi, Ever since I got the diagnosis when I was 18 (34 years old now), I have lived through my pain. There are good days and bad. Mostly, my day goes pain free, but that's only because of my fear of resuming the physical activities I really want to do : Basketball , lifting weights, running...

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...

Hi All, I am new here and only discovered TMS a couple of weeks ago. I have been struggling with lower back pain for over 3 years.

I am 33 years old and have had chronic back pain that started 9 years ago when learning to drum and everything went downhill from there. For the last year and a half I have had extreme chronic back pain that took away my quality of life & had me go on disability for 3.5 months this last summer...

I am currently suffering from lower back pain/ache. It started constantly aching 12 weeks ago but I estimate it was 8 weeks coming gradually before it became constant. I have never suffered with back pain before (40 year old male) and it has really thrown me. The reason I think it may be tms...

To those who have healed or currently have pelvic pain. Do any of you also have lower back pain ? .this seems to be my most consistant (when I wake up my back is stiff) and I had foot pain (plantar fasciitis) before the back pain started. The back pain started after a fall on my tailbone and...

This is my third bout of acute TMS (lower back) in about as many decades and I'm a total believer in Sarno's theories but, damn, using a heating pad to help relax my locked-up muscles sounds like heaven right now. I don't know if this question is tongue-in-cheek or not ... would using a heating...
