sciatica - low back butt and leg pain

Hi! About a year ago I started getting intense pain in my right arm. My doctor and many neurosurgeons and neurologists and spine doctors attributed it to my bulging disc in my neck. I was an active gym goer. I stopped working my upper body because it reminded me of the pain. I cried almost every...

Hello I’d been suffering from sciatic pain for about eight months. A couple of weeks ago it worsened. And then in the last 36 hours or so I’ve basically been on my back. I can’t take more than a few steps before I fall over in pain. Debilitating pain in the butt and legs. Tried to go to doctor...

Hi all, I do apologise for the long post. I don’t know where to start from, so I will tell you my back problem story. I’m currently 39 male, generally in good health, rarely go to the doctors. I was diagnosed with herniated disc level L5/S1 and Sciatica when I was 25. For the next 7 years I had...

I’ve been reading this forum for months and finally decided to sign up so I can make this post. I really hope I get some answers. Here’s my story summarized the best I can. Please scroll down to the last paragraph for my main question if you don’t want to read my short story. 7 years ago: I...

Aloha all, Here is a video that I created outlining some of my journey and healing TMS. My brother and I both had similar experiences. The doctors gave me many medical names to what I was experiencing and even diagnosed my brother with an autoimmune condition called AS. We both healed. I write...

Hello! I posted a few weeks ago about my struggle with LBP and severe right hip pain/sciatica. The upper hip pain is the worst - mostly during the night until I can't lie down anymore and get up and have 2-3 hours of excruciating pain in the morning before I stand and walk properly; it's...

Hello! I am a 48yo female, fit and active (or I used to be active when I didn't hurt), and no stranger to low back pain (always on the right side) and TMS. I have 5 books about TMS which I have read and reread over the last 15-20 years. About 20 years ago I "cured" some severe lower right...

My TMS recovery story is long and complicated, but I wanted to share it because I've recovered from more forms of TMS than most people ever experience! It started in my mid-twenties with TMJ pain as well as back and neck pain, and going to the chiropractor and doing PT helped sometimes. Then...

I haven't been here in a while. I previously had sciatic, back pain, piriformis syndrome, etc and struggled with it for years. It finally went away last year and the shoulder started acting up. Well, that finally resolved and I've been doing really well for the last 4 months. Until Sunday. I'm...

I am having trouble navigating this site. I have come here several times looking for support and help with tms and pelvic bladder and sciatic pain. I google the above and it directs me to this site which I usually give up because I can not search specifically. I have read two books by Steven...

Hi there folks, I am suffering from my second flair up of sciatica in the last 6 months. It was pretty bad first time around. I was diagnosed with a slipped disc /herniated disc after an MRI scan. Spent a few weeks lying on my belly and attending physio. I have started to look into Dr Sarno...

Hello There I have joined the forum as I have been searching for a possible answer for my brother who has had 3 years now of miserable pain which started off from a back injury in his lower back from Golf which has now spread throughout his back, neck, fingers, burning etc. I am keen to...

This is my first time posting here. I figured since I’m bored at work I can spare a few minutes to hopefully give others some confidence. First off my name is Dan. I am 33 years old and have suffered from various weird pains for most of my childhood into my 20’s. My personality traits growing...

Last year at this time, I had a freak accident during a medical procedure where my sacral nerve was pulled internally. The pain was horrific, my life flashed before my eyes and I knew that what just happened was serious. That turned in to the most painful summer of my life. I had to get an MRI...

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...

For a dozen years or more, I've struggled with pain. Pain in my back, pain in my hips from bursitis after many years of working on my feet, but more recently, pain that has disrupted my life to the point of thinking I would not be able to work anymore. I've consulted my physician many times, had...

I wrote this poem in Dec 2017 as my recovery started quickly progressing (I’ve never written any poetry before this) and have only showed 3 people in that time :/ I feels nice to have summed up that period of my life, and to give me some closure :) :) Injury, followed by loss, confusion my ego...
