swelling

To solidify my reading I’m going to reflect - spending 15 minutes to half an hour to get TMS trained. yesterdays post “What you’re truly celebrating is that you’re changing your habits, and building a sense of empowerment”. Positive reinforcement for efforts and dopamine rewards for doing...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum because I have only just recently discovered TMS. I've decided to post because I've not stumbled upon anyone who's mentioned IT Band Syndrome and would like to know if there's someone who's battled something similar. I'm pretty sure my pain is TMS - traumatic...

Hi all! Just wanted to know if TMS is capable of causing swelling. I have been having pain on top of my foot where the tongue of the shoe is. I thought I tied my shoes too tight. But I also noticed that when I bend my foot one way, it's more painful and swollen compared to the other foot. I can...

Hi all, I am a student taking part in a non-paid research project with the goal of creating an easy-to-use online experience for a specialist hand and wrist clinic. I was looking for people who have had a condition, injury, or trauma on their hand or wrist. If you could share your experiences...

Does anyone know the connection with SI joints?

Hello, I have been off and on this website over the years as a runner and triathlete suffering with TMS. My husband has also dealt with TMS. Right now he is experiencing some very strange wrist pain that radiates from his thumb up through his forearm. It started out of the blue a few days ago...

Hello again, Can TMS cause swelling of a body part and if so, how does this happen? Thanks again.

I cannot believe I am writing in the success stories section of this forum. I never thought I was going to get better and I have. When I was using the program I read this subforum diligently, hoping I would find something that would keep me going or that would give me more ideas on how to...

Thank you to everyone for the support I've been getting so far. So I recently starting going back to work and it has been extremely difficult with my pain. I constantly try to reinforce that I am healthy, I am strong and perfectly capable to be working again. It hasn't been that easy.. the more...

Hi! I have had some good success with TMS over the years. Most recent issue is my knee has been swollen and extremely painful for 3 months. It also "catches" on itself and has been really hard to ignore. Just to satisfy my curiosity I had an MRI last week. The film shows cartilage wearing under...

I have light swelling in one of the affected hands. I've seen some posts about it but I'm trying to see if I can get a general sense of how common swelling is as a symptom in TMS

Hi, I have been struggling with my left foot since August. I am, or was, a very active, fit 70 year old. The initial problem was a very painful tendon inflammation caused by my flat feet. I saw a podiatrist; received multiple shots of cortisone; had an MRI that indicated no surgery was...

A couple years ago, I was diagnosed with TMS after struggling for years with fibromyalgia as well as numbness, weakness, and tingling sensations throughout my body that I feared were from MS. Once I received the diagnosis (as well as a clear brain scan), the symptoms went away. Shortly after...

Hi, all and thanks in advance. First, some background. OK so I am a TMS serial victim going back decades. From mystery Achilles tendon pain to chronic sinus infections to gout – oh and back pain. Over the years I have kicked all of these through my TMS work, but my body then throws me a new...

Hello, my name is Tim Hutton and I look forward to participating in this forum. Though I experienced significant and bewildering TMS pain (though I knew nothing of TMS) since my early 30’s, the major turning point which out of desperation led me to digging deeply into other possibilities and...

Since discovering the work of Dr. John Sarno 8 months ago, my life has undergone a transformation that I had never dreamed was possible. My journey of chronic pain began when I was 15 years old. I developed chronic, crippling pain in my left foot that was diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. After...

Hi everyone ,I posted recently regarding my RSD/CRPS in feet but I have also been dealing with severe tendonitis on the sides of the achilles tendons. Pockets of swelling are visible and on MRI. I also have bone marrow edema in all my toes from this freaking disease. After using a wheelchair...

My journey is a roundabout one back to believing Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome is TMS. After years of vary degrees of severity with this condition I did Dr. Schubiner's program in 2011. I felt better and as I was finishing the program I began taking a muscle relaxer...

Just curious if anyone has had experience with this, in relation to TMS. I've been having trouble with episodes of my glands swelling (particularly my salivary glands and those in my neck, but sometimes all over) and becoming tender. Sometimes it becomes difficult to swollow and my mouth becomes...

I'll be brief with my background. I first was examined by Dr. Sarno back in the late 70's for serious back pain. I was in my early 20's at the time and was told I would need surgery to repair a degenerated disc (sounds funny now as to how someone in their 20's could have that bad of a case of...
