tension

I found TMS literature almost 10 years ago when I turned 30. Started with Dr Sarnos Healing Back Pain, and have read many others(SteveO,Gordon,etc). It's been a while since I've had pain that has been consuming. Perhaps around 6 weeks ago I started getting tension headaches and neck pain. I had...

Hello everyone, I wrote here before and wanted to share an update and hear if anyone relates. My main symptoms are anal/rectal sensations (pressure, discomfort, sometimes aching/burning). I’m not sure if the right diagnosis is levator ani syndrome, pelvic floor tension, TMS/mind-body, or...

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking for an easier way to manage hyper-vigilance (threat scanning), anxiety (worry loops), and physical tension (shoulders up, etc.). After experimenting with mind-body approaches, I came up with this simple technique that works for me during normal daily...

I know I have TMS but I'm out of ideas - anyone offer words of wisdom? My shoulder are always jacked up and of course it's now an unconscious process. This tension is causing pain in both arms that takes the form of pain, tingling, muscle fatigue and it also effects my shoulders and upper back...

Hi everyone, I know I’ve already posted about this in the past how my husband is a trigger of one of some of my symptoms. But I feel stuck and need help :( the most annoying symptom that bothers me the most happens when I’m around my husband. My body goes into a braving pattern around him...

Hello everyone, It's been a rough few years with my health. It seems that ever since I got married back in October 2021, my health has declined and have been suffering with TMS symptoms. It wasn't until my husband and I moved out of our moldy apartment that I started noticing how my body was...

when you fixed your crooked body due to chronic muscle tension, do you think it was more important to do stuff that makes you feel safe or releasing the repressed emotions you had? which was more important in your opinion? I have a lot of trauma from child hood including umbilical cord issues...

Good afternoon, everybody. First of all, I wanted to say that I am happy to come across this website and forum. I feel like it has already given me a lot of good advice and encouragement. The reason for this post is to share my story and to ask for members' input. I have some lingering doubts...

My TMS symptoms include of Muscle tension which is literally everywhere, along with a bunch of other symptoms that I believe I've listed before all of it which other the one developed in the last year. 2 days ago I started to notice some slight trembling and I first almost described it as...

I have been plagued with numerous TMS symptoms and have successfully worked my way through them. Now I'm dealing with "tension" in both sides of my groin. It's like a deep ache feeling. I've never experienced this symptom. In the past during stressful events I can feel myself holding tension in...

Hi, guys. I come here again. This is my last post. https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/how-to-cure-butt-tension.24163/#post-125550 (How to cure butt tension?) I want to discuss it again. I got lower back pain ten years ago, and I suffered it for almost two years until I read Dr.Sarno's...

Even if I feel pretty relaxed before bed, my muscles tense up at night (especially my jaw and pelvic floor). Even if I take valium right before bed, I still end up waking up tense in the morning. When I'm awake there are things I can do to deal with it but I'm not sure what to do about something...

Hi! I hope you're all having a good day so far. My symptoms are connected with tension and trigger points (which I guess are physical symptoms), but the cause of it is probably more psychological than I have thought in the past few years. I have some questions regarding tension: 1. Should you...

Hi Guys, I'm not new to TMS and have recovered successfully from: - Eye Strain - Gerd - Achilles Tendonitis - Back Pain - Testicular pain - Mole pain I have been going through a pretty stressful time recently and my latest frustrating symptom appears to be eyestrain which seems to link...

Background: I've had headaches most of my life, and remember them becoming a bit more consistent/intense around age 25 (I'm currently 35). I had a deviated septum and a lot of sinus issues and thought those might be a cause. Around age 31 my headaches were probably 1-1.5x weekly and quite...

Bonjour à tous, Je tiens déjà à m'excuser pour mon mauvais anglais (je suis français :), je me présente je m'appelle Greg j'ai 40 ans et je souffre de céphalées de tension quotidiennes et de migraines fréquentes. J'ai suivi un parcours thérapeutique assez chaotique comme beaucoup d'entre vous...

I've had forearm pain for the past two years. Using mind body techniques Ive managed to get it to a manageable level, but it's still pretty limiting, e.g. pretty much don't play games anymore. I've been on vacation from my typing heavy job for the past 5 weeks, and the last week my arm is...

For a long time I have been dealing with Pelvic floor pain/tension which prevents me from enjoying sex. My theory on why I have this tension is because I am really concerned about my performance in bed. Constantly when I'm about to have sex I get worries in my head that I will cum fast and not...

I can't remember exactly when my journey of chronic pain started but it's probably around my mid 20s back in 2006-2007. It started with a left neck and left wrist pain which never went away. I probably spent a year of therapy and pain management but never took any medication for it. After a year...

I saw an interview with Dr. Sarno talking about how, at a certain point in his writings, he was now calling it Tension Myoneural Syndrome. I can find almost no information on this other naming/definition of the disease where it is considered a synonym. I can only infer that he wanted to change...
