neck pain

I can't believe I haven't noticed this. Last night I couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning. I'm normally a great sleeper so suddenly I thought about the past and when I used to toss and turn it was always because of extreme neck pain caused from migraines. You see I always have a migraine...

I have TMS. I've had a really great week. After listening to all of Alan Gordon's audio clips, I realized that I need to increase my soothe to rage ratio and that I have spent a lifetime scaring myself. I have chronic shoulder pain, some neck pain and the muscles between my shoulder blades get...

I became aware of Dr. Sarno's only 3 days ago. I was trying to do some research on what might help my husband with his back and knee pain. I got Dr. Sarno's book on Saturday and read it in one sitting. The crazy part is, it describes me even better than my husband! I think anyone that knows me...

Hi everyone< Posted once here but little repsons maybe put my story in the wrong place. The title of my post is bit unusual for this website i guess but did use it anyway. because i am digging into to subject on the internet menopause (because some claim can cause muscle pain ) an tms...

Hi everyone, Two weeks ago I started swimming again after almost two years of not doing it. (In the meantime I took some Feldenkrais lessons, and there I learned I was doing too much, wanting to reach too far, stretch too long. Nobody told me that until I experienced some pain. That was a big...

Hello, Besides every day tension in my neck (especially side muscles), shoulder and jaw area I experience sudden spasm ( I believe it's a spasm) when one side of the neck gets very tight, including trapezious, jaw starts to click and right shoulder starts twitching ( well I feel a need to...

I have had neck and shoulder pain and headaches since high school, over 20 years, the lower back started a couple years ago and my heels/feet started hurting a year ago and I'm realizing I'm tender in most places. I've been to the chiropractor but find little relief and concluded it's more...

I am having a bad TMS day. Woke up feeling bad. I didn't sleep well and my body is telling me so. My neck, low back, and shoulder aches. Last night I went to bed with low back and right foot pain (think I twisted it wrong). It's so frustrating. I keep telling this pain that I know its...

Hi all, Well, I did it! After a two-year hiatus, I finally went back to karate last week. I am so happy about it... and proud too. I quit before learning about tms, thinking it was contributing to my neck pain. It is, after all, a contact sport. But even back then I knew the pressure I was...

I read Armchair's Linguists Success Story for DAY 11. The SEP asks if I see myself in the story. I do, and I have also seen some of the success of acknowledging I have TMS. Two weeks ago, I could barely sit at my desk, and definitely not with my legs crossed. The sciatic would kick in heavy...

I have been a very active and athletic person my whole life. I was a professional jockey for 9 years and rode at many well known racetracks. After that career I took up marathon running then ultra running. I've finished 4 Boston Marathons, three 50 mile endurance races and one 100 miler. I've...

I started reading 'Healing Back Pain' on Sunday and it's been very enlightening, but I gather it's going to be a long road. I've been having a number of chronic symptoms over the last 20-24 months. Upset stomach, nausea, permanent neck pains, lower back pains, shoulder pains, and recently...

Hello everyone! I thought I'd share my story before I go completely insane from all the pain. My name's Anna and I'm 27. I live in Poland. My problems started around February this year when I experienced severe panic attacks along with health anxiety issues. At first I thought I was going to die...

I saw this article about "text neck". Is this a real thing, or is this TMS? http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...coming-an-epidemic-and-could-wreck-your-spine

I was encouraged by my practitioner, Daniel Lyman, to finally post a success story here 'cos he felt that I was at a stage of my recovery that I could be called a 'success'. I think that in itself speaks volumes as to how far I've come along my TMS journey. My pain has not gone away 100% but I...

Hi Everyone, I'm currently working on an extended version of my recovery story but in the meantime I'd like to share my review for Healing Back Pain on Amazon.com. "26 years old and have suffered from chronic back/neck/shoulder/pelvic pain for 3.5 years. Probably saw 20ish doctors, physical...
