question

Good morning! New member here. So happy to find this space. I won’t go on for too long but basically I am dealing with chronic facial pain (not trigeminal neuralgia but more neuropathy) that’s what orofacial pain specialist diagnosed for me. My ridiculous stress and fear of dental work has led...

What’s everyone’s go to method/thing they do when they feel their pain creeping back in ?

Hi everyone, I have a particular question, as i have read everything written regarding TMS, i practice somatic experiencing work and have healed myself from TMS many years ago. This past 3 months i am quite debilitated with it, this time not in the back but in the leg, not muscle pain by...

I deal with pelvic floor tightness and frequently urination i feel like my symptoms are worse when i am angry or dealing with anxiety does anyone have anytips for this

Please can I ask a question about lower back muscle spasms as I really and absolutely know I have TMS and have improved so much in so many areas of my symptoms, but the one my brain still likes to throw at me is lower back muscle spasms if I turn wrong or bend and twist or carry something wrong...

Hello all I’m sorry about all the long detail … but I believe the previous pelvic pain I had that is mostly gone most of the time was tms… 4 weeks ago I had to go to a wedding in a too tight of dress and “ sucked” in my tummy ( constant bad habit of mine) just cyz I worried about the tummy...

Just curious how many people felt their pain fade away over a period of time, how many people felt their pain shift areas before going away, or how many people felt it just disappear quickly. Just some backstory, I had back pain over a year from 2012-2013 until reading Sarno and having a book...

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...

Hi everyone, As my back was feeling so much better last week, I did what I was afraid to do for some time, i.e. went running. I don't run much usually, and only on even surfaces, but I'm an avid climber and hiker, so not a couch potato. This time I went running in a forest and there was a lot...

Hey guys so I'm on day 11 of the structural education program, doing well. My upper back pain began 18 months ago after waking up in a bad sleeping position. Have seen many docs, a few cervical MRI's that aren't significant and shouldn't be causing the pain. Due to no real structural issue, the...

Hi Everyone , I just wanted to get some feedback on 'structural abnormalities.' I understand that Sarno mentioned disc herniations, arthritis, ect. as normal aging of the spine. However, what is said about twisted pelvis, leg length discrepancies, single sided hip mobility issues, ect...

Hello, I am quite open minded but I still have some doubts about TMS that might prevent me from healing, can you please answer my question? As so many other people, my neck pain started with an injury. I cant help but think the cause of the pain is physiological because of the following...

For those of you who recovered from pain while typing/mousing, did you gradually increase the amount of typing you would do each day? Any tips?

Greetings to everyone on the TMS Forum! Before I mention my current issues, I would like to give a little insight on myself and my history with TMS. So I'm a 19 year old boy, and only a year and a half ago did I figure out that TMS existed and it was a condition I had. At the time, it...

Hi everyone! I used mindbody techniques years ago to end IC pain. It has resurfaced! I used a home dip stick and the first one showed nitrites so I took Macrobid. I started feeling better and then the antibiotic started making me feel sick so I stopped. The dip stick is showing leukocytes now...

Ive had issues with my wrists and thumb joints now for some time ive nearly accepting the tms problem as i see myself in most pages in dr sarnos books, now the question is doctor told me i had tendinitis/tendinopathy even though mri results on wrists came back normal, now my knees are playing...

there full body programs that are done 3 days per week. one of the purpose is because of recovery. if fatigued is part of tms, then can we actually do full body more times per week since the fatigue could be tms?

.... but would anybody be interested in speaking or writing on a one on one level - for the purpose of releasing some of our pent up anxiety? I ask this because, after seeing a therapist who supposedly specialized in TMS (I could tell I was her first patient EVER with TMS) it became clear to me...

I have a question about a relapse of pain. When i started hurting 2 months after I slipped & hurt my back, I went back to the basics of TMS that is not to fear the pain by continuing to live normally & to think about what was bothering me. Why did it not work & why did the pain persist...

I have recently discovered Dr. Sarno, and TMS. My awareness came about because I developed low back pain about 5 months ago that didn't resolve. I have really gotten into fitness again, (I'm 37), and began running and lifting weights regularly about a year ago. I've lost 100 pounds over the past...
