numbness

I developed TMS pain in my upper back 10 years ago, 6 months after my sister killed herself. Five years ago, a year after my partner was diagnosed with kidney failure, I developed chronic fatigue and Long Covid symptoms (congestion, cough, heart palpitations, dizziness). He got a transplant and...

About 20 years ago, I experienced severe neck pain. My primary doctor advised against surgery, explaining that it often causes more problems than it solves. However, a neurosurgeon I consulted strongly recommended surgery, saying, “Even if the pain improves, the numbness won’t.” I chose to...

Hello everyone, I'm quite familiar with TMS yet I find myself with another dilemma.. 15 years ago I had a horrendous sciatic pain in my left leg that lasted 2 weeks and then disappeared. It left behind residual numbness in my foot and toes that went away eventually, or was so minimal I never...

Hello! I would like to share my story, so you can help me tell if it can be TMS. I had spinal cord injury 3 years ago in my thoracic-lumbar region,(this is not typical in TMS Group, thats why I am creating this post), and had different wild syndroms as numbness, weakness, pain in my back...

Hey everyone, I’m a 24-year-old . In 2022, I was diagnosed with L4/L5 Grade 1 isthmic spondylolisthesis and sciatica. I also have a congenital L5-S1 fusion. My father has the same condition but is asymptomatic. However, mine is considered unstable (moves in flexion-extension but doesn’t change...

Hi. I came across TMS some years ago (it changed my life!) and have used Sarno's theories to get rid of medically diagnosed "RSI" and a mystery knee injury that had left me unable to lift my knee to horizontal when sitting (knee is now fine). So I'm familiar with the principles, understand that...

So I’m a little unsure of how or what to start with. So I’m going to try and lay out as easily as possible. 2022 I was working out at home doing squats with a barbell on my back (70kg) or so… loaded the weight on my back and both hands went numb, finished my reps and sensation came back to...

Hello, I am new to learning about TMS and was wondering if this is something I should be concerned about. Background I am a 22 year old male. Definitely do not have great genetics but after about 2 years of consistently working out and eating healthyish I developed a pretty decent physique...

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...

Hello, I have had pain on the right side of my lower half of my body, stemming from an injury to a testicle two years ago. Since then I have had pain that has moved around the lower right half of my body, including hamstring, pubic area and anterior thigh. The doctors were not able to find...

Hi All: New here and just beginning this TMS process after reading John Sarno’s books. I had a baby 7 months ago, and 3 weeks after delivery experienced excruciating painful sciatica and even foot drop. MRI showed herniated disc at l5-S1 with impingement of S1 nerve root. I’d known about...

Hello Everyone~ I am writing to you today because I feel a little bit at my ‘wits end’ with some very persistent TMS discomforts and symptoms… and I need a little helpful boost of advice and encouragement~ I have had very successful recovery from classic TMS problems like lower back pain...

Hi everyone, I am longtime lurker and now first time poster! I am here to share my recovery journey to offer hope, encouragement and assistance to those with particularly challenging TMS. As someone who is very affected by symptom influence, please be careful reading below. I have had TMS my...

Hello! I am pretty new to TMS. I have had lower back pain for about 2.5 months. I’ve seen GPS, chiros, an orthopedist (even had a nice trip to the ER, that was fun) and no one seems to find anything. I had an MRI that the orthopedist said was “perfect” and there was nothing to even improve upon...

Hi! For those who deal with LBP, sciatica, leg and foot issues, have there been people who had numbness in the foot in association with all of the above? I didn't have foot issues until a particularly bad episode/flare-up in December which I now see as perhaps a bit of an extinction burst...

Hey! I'm a 19 year old male, about 5-6 months ago had an injury while doing a backflip on a trampoline which led to acute pain in my lower back. A CT scan showed very small bulges in my discs, so small that 2 doctors couldnt see anything. Eventually I started feeling numbness in my leg and pain...

Hi all, I am a 29 year old male, otherwise very healthy. Around 2 years ago, I started to notice an electric shock down my arm (ulnar nerve) when performing an overhead press movement at the gym. I went to the doctor who recommended a physio who assisted me with this and it was resolved. The...
