Hi everyone -- I wasn't able to find very much in here about pulled muscles, so I thought I'd start a new thread. I recently returned to playing soccer after a 7-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I went really hard my first game and ended up with a very very sore right leg - pretty...

Having had upper back pain and other upper back sensations for over two years this is my very simplistic take on this. I believe all this Pain in your back, feet, legs and arms etc is due to chronic/persistent muscle tension, driven by anxiety ( call it fear if you wish). You may not feel...

I am wondering if anyone wakes up with more muscle tension in the morning than when going to bed? It’s mostly in my calves, upper leg/hip and sometimes through my knee, and tends to be on my right side. And I think I sleep ok, not waking much and not aware of restlessness. I am still reading Dr...

So, I experienced some heavy tightness in my right biceps these last two days after going to an ortopedist to deal with "RSI" and after scheduling an ultrassound. The tightness stopped, but now I'm experiencing some pain from it whenever I use the arm in a specific position, or bend it, like if...

I'm 35 years old and I have upper back pain & ribs pain, anxiety and extreme fatigue for couple of months. More recently I developed severe neck pain and TMJ as well. I have noticed that 2 days after even extremely gentle exercise (lets say 15 minutes walk) I feel that my ribs are tight and I...

I’ve been doing well with my EMDR therapy and can feel progress with some lessening pain days. I have not returned to exercise (like short walks or anything) in many years, except for swimming about 3 times a week. Yesterday, I felt motivated to clean out some cluttered spaces in my home. I was...

Can traps and upper back tension become chronic. Lasting many months without release? I am using most of the mind body methods to relax my upper back muscles and have had good advice here from others, but just can't seem to break through this barrier to releasing the tension/ tightness and...

Hello, When I read the testimonials and the pain recovery program, I note that this concerns the muscular tensions with origin of fear, stress and anxiety. But nothing about emotions repressed by autonomous muscular tensions (which I suffer). Yet it's also an emotional disorder. I search the...

Has anyone felt this way? I have had upper back/scapula pain for months and recently it disappeared for two weeks.I hope that was because of my TMS work and not a coincidence? I have posted before and had some helpful and comforting replies. My pain has returned. I have also posted on the...

Hello everyone! I just started my own fight against TMS. Its my low back. I am conditional coach myself and i am trying to assure myself thats not mechanical but mental pain...but its hard,really hard. I could see myself on every Dr. Sarno's book page but its still hard on my own. I am from...

I've been having some bad muscle spasms coming back again recently. I'm ok with the other pains and a little more confident about not worrying about them, but with the spasms, you can feel them when you move, and if you started doing sharp movements or lifting weights while you are in the middle...

Just a quick update I went to my doctor and she has said for a 23 year old you've been investigated a lot and we cant find anything wrong. She said that my lower back pain (which was gone for about a week and a half ) is muscle tightness caused by anxiety and stress (being in constant fight or...

I have been on this forum since September dealing with back and leg pain and most recently vertigo. I have had some weeks when I felt like I was making progress and other times, like now, when I have prayed for God to please ease the pain somewhat or just call me home because I cannot stand it...

I've been super stressed the past few weeks and today it's really hitting me. I'm holding back on a lot of frustration. My stomach started hurting again, for the most part I've been able to stop it but I'm just curious if anyone else has these symptoms. #2 & 3 are what make me think they are...

Hi all, new member here. But, longtime believer and follower of TMS "treatment." Like many others, after years of consistent back trouble, lots of the usual medical treatments, fear of re-injury, etc., I was at my wit's end, found Dr. Sarno's book, and it worked and for the most part have been...

Has anybody else had muscle atrophy? I have severe muscle atrophy in my right quad, for the last year I have pretty much avoided using my right leg such as walking up stairs etc. I have just started some exercises to build my muscle back , will this take long to do?

How can I ever get this horrible pain in my pelvic floor, perineum area, to begin to loosen up from 10 years of guarding, contracting these muscles ?? They are clenched up like a knot and the pain is relentless. Dr Wise (Wise Anderson protocol) describes it as a "charley horse in the pelvis...

Hey! I have had AMAZING success healing years of Chronic arm pain and other issues through journaling and reflecting. I bruised, possibly cracked a rib in March. It took some time to heal and I got back to the gym recently. I was lifting weights and working out with really no restraints but...
