rsi

I tried doing some searches but found more posts about wrist pain for carpal tunnel. Is Knuckle pain also TMS? I've been at the computer all day working on semester projects for software programming classes and the knuckles in my left hand are hurting quite a bit, especially if I go to try to...

I’ve been meaning to add my TMS success story, because for me some of the changes took years, rather than weeks or months. I want to tell people who find things aren’t changing quickly that that doesn’t mean they won’t change! Back in 2008, I was in a bad way. I had RSI, with pain primarily in...

Hello All, I've come across an RSI story on YouTube which I thought I'd share with you:

Hi all, I'm going to try and keep this short, sweet and honest. I guess I'm looking for that quick miracle cure and I haven't even read the book completely....Guess I'm avoiding it because I don't want to believe in TMS way or maybe I doubt it will work. What I do know is that I always seem to...

Optional Contact Information: mrpearl67@yahoo.com After 6 weeks of driving for Lyft RSI came out of the blue and sidelined me as of today. Any thoughts ? Suggestions ? I stopped driving, went on an anti inflammatory diet, started meditating, noticed when I am stressed, holding tension...

Hi there, I've been struggling with RSI in my right forearm and hand for about a year now after a lifetime of heavy un-ergonomic laptop use. It's gotten better and worse over this period... I try to be more ergonomic, and it eases... then I slack off and it flares up again, with each flare up...

Hello everyone I was diagnosed with de quervain's syndrome about a week after I went back to work after taking some time off due to my "RSI". This diagnosis happened roughly in late April and no physio- was working so I got a cortisone shot and it seemed to help up until about a month ago. I...

Introduction I am a 32 year old (at time of writing) software developer. From roughly summer 2015 to summer 2016 I suffered with what I referred to at the time as RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). Throughout that year at various times I benefited greatly from reading others' similar experiences...

I didn't see this posted on the success stories wiki yet, so I want to post this here because this is how I was introduced and got the most help with regards to my own RSI years ago. https://web.archive.org/web/20080213092323/http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~thibaux/rsi_is_tms.htm (Romain Thibaux)

Hello everyone I'm new here and wanted to see people's input to help me sort things out. First my story- I'm a musician. Have not performed for almost a year. First diagnosed in August with golfers elbow and cubital tunnel (left hand) then in o October my right hands completely gave out...

I did the cluster writing exercise today which are aimed to give us an understanding and insight into current stresses. I ended up with quite a few circles stemming out of my chosen subject of “retirement”. I am 63 and was forced to take early retirement two years ago due to the severe RSI I was...

I just completed the stress scale for day 12. When adding up the scores for various so-called stress events over the last 12 months I came in at over 300 which denotes significant risk for physical symptoms. Then I just did a quick summation of stress scores forEach of the last three years and...

I had a lot of pain in both arms today and rather than focus on the physical pain and all the fears and anxieties that go with that, I really made an effort to focus on the psychological “What is going on for me emotionally?” At one stage, I had been thinking about a particular family member and...

Hi. Just starting TMS journey with crippling RSI in both arms for 4 yrs....nothing really helps pain. I seem to have often had pain conditions throughout my life which I now believe may have been TMS related. Ive ALWAYS felt guilty about having something wrong with me, believe its my fault...

Happy to report life is back to normal and I am 100% healed. The road to success was not an easy, but I want to encourage all my fellow TMSers to NOT GIVE UP. What I have learned from this journey has made me happier, wiser and more at peace with the challenges that come in life. In February...

Things are looking good! Even though I'm in the middle of a pain flare. My forearm (diagnosed tendonosis and RSI) was 99% pain free for the last 3-4 days... Earlier last week I had a another pain flare after taking a yoga twerking class. 100% fine during this class (the class was really fun). As...

After a 6 month battle with “tendinosis” I am now 95% with all activities no pain, and winning the battle. I couldn’t be happier. It took a while to accept TMS, but am so happy that I had to make a choice—to put faith and courage in myself and intuition, and let go of what the doctors have...

I am often asked what “my story” is. Everyone who has suffered from Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) or a Psychophysiologic Disorder (PPD) has a long, tortuous story to tell - that is, if they are lucking enough to have found a TMS-trained physician or therapist who has helped them step off the...

Hi all, This is my first post. I've been lingering and reading for the past week, you all seem to be a supportive and kind group so I feel safe that you'll understand my situation and frustrations. Just a brief introduction first. I am 39 yrs old, have had chronic neck and shoulder pain since...

Written by on October 15, 2008 Have you ever noticed that musicians are more likely to have repetitive stress injuries? Of course you have. But are you sure that the cause is actually overuse? What about headaches, back aches, neck aches, abdominal pain, fibromyalgia and TMJ pain? Do musicians...
