Hello everyone, I wrote here before and wanted to share an update and hear if anyone relates. My main symptoms are anal/rectal sensations (pressure, discomfort, sometimes aching/burning). I’m not sure if the right diagnosis is levator ani syndrome, pelvic floor tension, TMS/mind-body, or...

Dear all, This is going to be a longer post. I am back now, had been away since 2020. And no, I haven’t found reliable relief yet. In 2020 I followed the route of finding a ‘nonTMS’ cause. In 2020 I had been diagnosed with chronic UTI by specialists. Took 18 months of antibiotics, accompanied by...

Hello everyone, I would like to share my story and ask for guidance from experienced members of the community: I am a 37 year old male and my symptoms started 1 year ago. I originally felt pain in my rectum and during sigmoidoscopy they discovered a healed fissure. (I live in Canada, so by the...

I won’t waste everybodies time with my story but it’s pelvic floor nerve pain and cannot sit for 9 months. Yes stress was high as was fear of needing a pelvic surgery. It was never ever mentioned but I found out a prolapse existed and became terrified I’d get one. I think I still am plus I do...

Hello everyone, I’m a new member here and I’m really hoping for your support. I first discovered TMS back in 2017 through the Panic Away program (now called DARE). Dr. Sarno’s books helped me immensely, along with the support I received from regular people on the Panic Away forum. At that...

I went through a lot the last few months. A job I didn’t get, which gave me rejection anxiety. I have a tms coach. We do hypnosis and internal family systems. It started around Easter. Sensations that were lessened from my last pelvic flare up in 2022. Tight pelvis, feels like my “protector” is...

I've been told the reason why I feel it hard to breathe when I inhale is because I have dyssynergia of breathing (APD/PFD). Basically, from what I understand, instead of my diaphragm moving directly down it's pushing on my abdominal wall and isn't relaxing. It's a horrid feeling and I can't...

TL;DR I had Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome starting at age 17 that lasted for about 4 years. I read Dr. John Sarno’s book The Mindbody Prescription, and had a functional cure within a few months time. Due to one lingering symptom which always kind of irked me, and the fact that I’m also an opioid...

Hi everyone. I believe this is my first post here. I have been experiencing my symptoms for 2.5 years now. I was completely healthy. I was 21 years old. Then, I decided to get a copper IUD for birth control, because taking pills daily was annoying and I didn't want to have to remember...

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right way to do this, but here goes :) Disclaimer: since discovering Sarno's work in August and also Steve Ozanich's and all the amazing content on here, I have become much more comfortable with spasms in my ribs, hip pain, even SI joint pain which plagued me...

Hello All, Hope you had a good Christmas! I'm back again after being symptom free for a long time. I've been practicing Stoicism which seems to have some crossovers with the Mindbody way of thinking which I think has helped. However, with this stressful period that is Christmas, I've had a...

Hello all, Ive been experiencing pelvic pain for just over a year. Ive been learning about TMS the last month and am certain I have it.Anyone that can relate or has got over the hump and willing to help with advice or programs that would help I would truly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Hey, you wonderful TMS Wiki types. I promised myself if I ever got better, I’d post a success story. And while life is too busy to lay it all out in the detail it deserves, I will get to that someday. But this site and this community have been hugely influential in my recovery and so I wanted...

So I am still confused about the cause of my pelvic pain and urinary urgency/frequency. I had a UTI earlier this year and it went untreated for 3 months (due to medical mismanagement). It is now about 3 months since the infection was cleared, I've had lingering symptoms but steady improvement...

So, I went through every single success story posted here (https://www.reddit.com/r/PelvicFloor/comments/185m1w2/every_success_story_in_this_group_summarized/) and I noticed a pattern that applied to my situation - in every situation where physical therapy, internal PT work and other physical...

I promised myself to come back to this Forum once I feel confident about my healing journey. I'm writing this right now with zero pain and believe me, I was having so many doubts about TMS and me being cured. Therefore I want to encourage you just like I've been encouraged by all the success...

Hello all. Looking for some help & will try to make this brief. 30th May I had a massage & that very same night felt some sharp very painful electrical zaps in my groin/ lower back area. I took some painkillers & then the zaps happened suddenly again a few days later. I noticed my right...
