    Another surgery for chronic knee pain was proven to be useless

    One of my favorite TMS stories was about a clinical trial conducted by Dr. Bruce Moseley, who was making a ton of money performing knee surgeries for osteoarthritis but had some suspicions about their efficacy.

    Knee surgery for meniscus tears shown to be ineffective or downright harmful

    A common knee surgery might be unnecessary or even harmful - just like the findings for common back surgeries (corroborated by a number of our community members over the years). "MRI scans often reveal meniscal tears in healthy people with no symptoms." This will sound familiar to anyone who...

    Post surgery ramp up of TMS

    Hey all. I received an artificial disc replacement about a year ago in my neck. I learned about TMS before that time, but kept going back and forth about if the neck pain and arm pain was truly TMS. I got the surgery, but I was undecided up until the literal point of them putting anesthesia in...
