I had a miraculous change with back pain after reading Dr Sarno’s book on Healing Back Pain 4 yrs ago. Over the past few months I now am dealing with debilitating neck pain. For some reason I didn’t realize that I may have the same issues with my neck as I did with my back. I did the journal...

Hey everyone! My name is Joey. I am 28 years young. For as long as I can remember (I can remember lol) (11 years) I’ve had pain in my neck. Specifically the left anterior side. (Scalene, SCM muscle). It started then, around the age of 17-18, as I graduated high school and began my college...

I am writing this post because first of all I feel like I owe it. It helps enormously to read success stories, and I benefited from reading others' stories. But unfortunately some people might disappear and just go on with their life after their problems go away. In my case I occasionally...

I'm feeling defeated today. Yesterday was a tough, highly uncomfortable day. I think I'm experiencing the symptom imperative really severe. My usual neck pain and transformed into many different pains over the last few weeks, the last week (and yesterday) was the peak of pain. My anxiety has...

Hello, I have read plenty of forums on this website, but this is my first posting. I have decided to share my story as it has forever changed my life, and I feel as if most medical professionals I came across were puzzled by my symptoms. One year ago, a week after I applied for physical therapy...

I don't like feeling this way, because I know it's my pain talking, but I feel like I just want to die and get this life over with it. This is my truth and I accept it. I've been a worrier my whole life. After a night of smoking weed (age 19), I developed panic disorder and my life took an awful...

Hi, About 1 year ago I would suffer from intense stiff neck sporadically, where I couldn’t move my head in either direction. The pain would usually go away after 1 or 2 days. I read Sarno’s book and started to heal and was 95% recovered for the last 9 months. Now, I have gotten stiff neck again...

So I have a question regarding pain and linking it to a structural issue. Does the fact you are able to provoke an audible crack in your neck/back in the area and same side of your pain indicate some kind of structural problem w a joint etc. Is it possible a joint is damaged or there is some...

Iv had chronic neck pain since a pretty serious car accident in 2015. About 4 mnths later the pain started in my neck and has been pretty consistent. I learned about TMS in 2017 and Iv been doing a lot better the last 3-6 mnths. Welll.. 10 days ago I was rear ended in my car. No damage to my car...

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...

My TMS recovery story is long and complicated, but I wanted to share it because I've recovered from more forms of TMS than most people ever experience! It started in my mid-twenties with TMJ pain as well as back and neck pain, and going to the chiropractor and doing PT helped sometimes. Then...

My TMS shows up as neck and shoulder pain. I used to lift weights, but stopped because it always seemed to aggravate my shoulders. Well, I got frustrated a few weeks ago when I couldn't even do one push up!! I hadn't realized how much strength I'd lost. So I decided to use these techniques to...

Hi everyone, I would like to talk to you a little bit about this period that I am living to understand what you think of the situation. I haven't been very well for a few weeks. During the month of March I started doing gym again; after about a month I started having problems. First a plantar...

I’m writing to see if it helps this symptom. About two months ago my neck began to ache when I stretched downward. Then it felt hot. Then headaches appeared alongside the pain. I am remembering old XRays that showed huge bone spurs from multiple whiplashes in the 1980’s. Then I feel anxious...

Hey guys. Alittle help with me very much appreciated. I’ve experienced a upper back and neck pain now for around 18 months. He can feel anything from burning to stiffness to throbbing to start being allsorts of different sensations. When the pain came on I was in a bad way. I was abusing...

Goodmorning everyone I'm sorry to say, but it's a difficult period, after about a month free from symptoms (or with very tolerable symptoms) here I am again looking for support, advice, looking for a safe place where I can compare the experiences of recent times . As I read for many of you...

I've been actively involved in the TMS Community for about a year and a half but had no yet posted my recovery story. A lot of twists and turns along with some moments of doubt along the way. In a nutshell, I have had TMS symptoms going back to probably when I was 8 or so - the first one I can...

Hi, I read Sarno's books + the great pain deception, reading a lot on the forum and listen to Nicole Sachs's podcasts. Still I sometimes think there i something physically wrong with me. My upper back, shoulders, neck are always feeling thight. It gives me chronic tension headaches, TMJ and...

Although my symptoms are about 95% better than they were when I started out on my healing journey 5 years ago I still have few days when I don't have low level symptoms. My doctor diagnosed me with the generic term "arthritis in the neck" 5 years ago based on x-ray and MRI. My question to this...
