running

My journey started 1 year ago, though I only found out about TMS very recently. I had just picked up running as a new hobby. It was a sort of replacement for weightlifting which I was unable to do because of a right shoulder injury (I won't get into that now...). After finishing a 4km run...

I have solved a lot of problems after discovering Sarno and TMS etc. I have several threads here detailing my journey with hip pain, knee pain, and many other ailments that Sarno's methods have fixed. Discovering this treatment has changed my life. Recently I had another thread where I...

Welp TMS is back with a vengeance after my wedding day. Leaving today for our honeymoon in Italy. I have a hemorrhoid and had the worst acid reflux attack of my life last night. All you can do is laugh lol. I'm sure all the stress, anxiety, constant social interactions, alcohol, and sleep...

I've been meaning to do a general update since I got back from vacation but you know, life gets lifey especially after being away for 3 weeks and I've had some challenges where my priority was to post for support about those. BUT... This TMS stuff works. (Yeah duh right?) I really started to...

To set the scene: 4/30/25 I could barely walk yet again with a dystonia flare up/pain. I was so terrified of my 3 weeks Florida vacation with tons of walking at Disney and looking into purchasing a mobility scooter. 5/1/25 I said let's go all in on trying this TMS thing. About 2 weeks later my...

Hi all! I'm so excited to finally share my story. May it be a testament to myself that I will come back and read whenever I feel overwhelmed, and may it be inspiring to others. I have had a number of TMS symptoms, but I'm going to focus today on PF and achilles pain because when I was...

TL;DR is : I have a feeling like a Bruise on the ball of my foot since I began doing sprints in training... I was running in crappy shoes on pavement. Does this ring familiar with TMS or can that really happen? I am not/have never been much of a runner There used to be a "Running" subforum but...

Hi, I am new to this forum. I have been aware of TMS pain for about 3 years now. Many of my running problems disappeared when I i discovered TMS. Still I have episodes when pain is back after running. The last few days I have learned about this man Monte Hueftle who also is a runner. He has...

I followed Sarno’s advice and returned to full activity 8 weeks ago. Full activity meaning 60 mins of football a week (soccer) There’s been zero improvement in any of my old chronic symptoms but now I’ve got constant sore knees and ankle pain. I’m 35 and in fairly decent shape considering I’m...

Can anyone summarize for me what Steve Ozanich said about him returning to running (or anyone else's similar experience?). I do not have the book, and I have bought so many mind-body books now I don't want another one, but I want to say I heard something on here or somewhere that when he...

Veteran healer here, just wanting to share some encouragement (and truth!). I've been pain-free for several years and am loving living life and pushing my body to new limits. My interest in mind-body books led me to these two awesome books and I just had to share. If you're worried about running...

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my success story of chronic pain in the fourm of “cfs and fibromyalgia”. I want to say before I say anything else. You got this. You are winning by even knowing about this work and it’s not easy and we all know that. But trust me, life is beautiful after pain. To...

Hi, I’ve been hearing from a lot of people that intense exercise is key to recovery because it reduces stress and sends strong signals to the brain that nothing is wrong or broken in the body. However, I’ve also heard from some people that it took them way back in the process. People say it’s...

Hi I've been recovering from pelvic pain using sarno's approach. I began running, sitting, and lifting without pain, and my symptoms were diminishing. I became so excited after going ten months without being able to exercise, that I began running every day. Monday I did a short but very steep...

After reading “Heeling Back Pain” last week I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I finally knew what was causing my Pelvic and abdominal pain issues and I felt like I had hope. I felt great all week and begun resuming exercising again. My game plan entailed doing Alan Gordon’s...

The last challenge for me was running. I was now totally pain free except when I ran. As soon as I set off my back would tense, the pain would seize hold around my glutes and would stop me dead within minutes. I knew that I would then be hobbling for a week. I had to clear this last barrier...

I'm relapsing with this TMS and it's so unbelievably frustrating. I've got left glute, lower back, and sciatica type pain. I'm so frustrated that I want to run through it. I just want to say "Ef it" and go for a job like usual. My question: is this the right thing to do? I'm afraid I'll make...

Hi there. This year I successfully used TMS journalling to heal from neck pain on one occasion and low back pain on another. I'm thinking should I do the same for frequent colds ( I have had 5 colds plus 1 influenza this year) ? Also I have been battling overactive bladder, medically, with...

As I sat in the sun today I noticed a blister on the sole of my left foot, right at the ball of the left foot. It came from being very active recently, being outdoors a lot, running, hiking, walking in the woods - really soaking up the summer. This blister, it made me chuckle. I have been...

Hello, my question is very specific to those that have had meniscus tear surgery and continue to run. I am a 51 year old runner and completed my first half-marathon last fall with hopes to reach a full this fall. I had a meniscus tear "repaired" in November 2014. Anterior left side. I...
