plantar fasciitis - pf

I’m 57 year old man who’s successfully treated my severe lower back pain (with two herniated discs) through Dr Sarno’s book and recommendations. I’m a believer in TMS. I recently developed a bad case of plantar fasciitis, which is keeping me from my usual exercise routine. I attributed it to...

Hi Forum Members, I hope this part of my success story is helpful for readers here, who might want details of my history. My story shows how deep one can go into fear, endless searching, money spending ---and still ultimately recover. Many people who come here have similar stories!! I was...

I thought I'd post this observation of my sister as proof of the power we give to TMS. Yearly, we gather at my parents home for their anniversary. My older sister, now 64, has had bouts of plantar fasciitis off and on for the last decade, supposedly from being flat-footed. Two years ago her...

Hi Folks, My name is Sarah, 38, British female. I discovered TMS last night, through the invariable Googling that I'm sure we've all done as we try to navigate our way to an answer to our problems. And here's mine... Almost a year ago, I was out walking one day (I worked as a dog-walker at the...

Hi All, I posted this awhile back but have new links to this, so I am posting again. Can be found at http://www.tmspainrelief.com/tis-the-season-for-pain/ ('Tis the Season for Pain? | TMS Pain Relief with Andy Bayliss) Andy B ‘Tis the Season for Pain? I don’t give Christmas presents any...

I want to encourage everyone to keep working their programs, inquiry, reading, etc! I could hardly walk, and was scheduled for nerve surgery. Other doctors thought I needed plantar fasciitis surgery. I was also diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. They were all wrong. Thank you Dr. Sarno! SEE...

Hi all, I'm new here! I can't even begin to express how happy I am to have found this forum after discovering Sarno's books last month. I've been suffering from TMS for years - my case is so classic that I suspected the pain was psychological even before I had even heard of TMS. I am an avid...

Hello, I'm inquiring for insight into my pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have every kind of pain. Muscle, joint (no swelling), tendon pain, burning pain, aching pain, and tender to touch pain. I also experience tingling and stinging pain all over the place along with muscle spasms...

I am getting ready this morning for outdoor weekend. Those preparations reminded me that on this same trip a year ago I had not rediscovered the TMS help. Because of experience many years ago with my back I was a quick and easy reconvert to a diagnosis of TMS. After several months of...

A little background before the episode given me by a dr. In 1999 I injured the arch of my right foot. My foot hurt for 5 1/2 mo. Went to my dr, told about inflamation, got orthotics, no good. Couldn't drive, or stand for long. The upside was I love to read! Ha! One day I apologized for...

I was trolling the old wetpaint wiki today and found the following great post. The first two posts really stood out to me, so I thought I would repost them here. It can always be hard to understand the role that being active can have on our symptoms. My general understand is that most structural...

Since discovering the work of Dr. John Sarno 8 months ago, my life has undergone a transformation that I had never dreamed was possible. My journey of chronic pain began when I was 15 years old. I developed chronic, crippling pain in my left foot that was diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. After...

Hi, My name is Lovisa and I'm from Sweden (If my english gets weird, it's because of that). I'm happy I've finally found information about TMS and registered on this forum. I've had pain in my feet for about 8 months now (Plantar fasciitis according to my GP and a physiotherapist) , and...

Good day readers. I'm new to this site but have been checking in for almost a year now since discovering Dr Sarno and the term 'TMS'. I've had TMS for over twenty years and am now almost completely pain free, all thanks Dr Sarno, Steve Ozanich’s book “The Great Pain Deception” and TMS wiki...

Introducing myself with my success story: Healthy active 40's backcountry skier, canoer, hiker, worked as wilderness ranger...then: 3 years worsening foot pain, in the arch of the foot. 14 doctors, blood platelet injections, 3 sets of orthodics, low dye taping, physical therapy, sports...

Hi Gang, I joined this group about a month or two ago when I stumbled upon Andy B's story online. (http://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/foot-pain-remarkable-recovery.1988/) I felt inspired and encouraged by this and even made a few contacts with people after commenting on his thread. The...

I've been encouraged to write my story, so here goes! My first bout of debilitating back pain occurred when I was about 13. My mother had a long history of back pain, including two failed spinal fusions. I saw orthopedists who diagnosed scoliosis, and I tried various girdle-like back braces...
