Hi I am new to this forum and the TMS concept and I feel grateful that I have found this place to see some light. I entered a dark loop about 2 months ago. I am in my late 30s and have a family with 2 kids(10 and 6) and a good job. Due to the pandemic, I've been working from home with kids...

Hi Everyone I’ve posted on the forum before about my urination, tension and rushing symptoms. I’m gonna go into my issues my in depth here with the hope of getting some guidance. 10 years ago following an earthquake I developed chronic stress and anxiety. I was worrying all the time about...

Hi, I have soooo much tension in my face, head, neck and shoulders from years of stress and anxiety. I also tense my pelvic floor, if I bring my mind to it I can "drop" or release the muscle, but as soon as I move my attention or get anxious the muscle tense and that contributes to my main...

Hi all. Looking for some insight. I’m fairly new to the forum but not TMS. Let me start by saying I have suffered from health anxiety since I was in my teens and have every single personality trait associated with those prone to TMS. I had a shoulder injury about 10 years ago while pitching...

Hi everyone, I am from China and new here. About seven years ago after I graduated from college, I was stressful to find a job. One day after playing basketball, I felt uncomfortable with my right butt muscle. I went to see doctor but it didn't work. Then it turned into lower back pain. I...

The more I understand the mind body connection, the more I realize there's actually nothing to get rid of. I've spent 13 years trying to get rid of anxiety and 9 years trying to get rid of neck tension/pain (and all of the issues that developed in between). After my last post yesterday, I...

I just got hit with a bout of lower back pain after being TMS free for a long time and what I have been doing is listening to Sarno's books on a regular basis. I came across this passage from The Mindbody Prescription and it jumped out at me and thought it might help someone else. What stands...

Having had upper back pain and other upper back sensations for over two years this is my very simplistic take on this. I believe all this Pain in your back, feet, legs and arms etc is due to chronic/persistent muscle tension, driven by anxiety ( call it fear if you wish). You may not feel...

I am wondering if anyone wakes up with more muscle tension in the morning than when going to bed? It’s mostly in my calves, upper leg/hip and sometimes through my knee, and tends to be on my right side. And I think I sleep ok, not waking much and not aware of restlessness. I am still reading Dr...

Can traps and upper back tension become chronic. Lasting many months without release? I am using most of the mind body methods to relax my upper back muscles and have had good advice here from others, but just can't seem to break through this barrier to releasing the tension/ tightness and...

Hello, When I read the testimonials and the pain recovery program, I note that this concerns the muscular tensions with origin of fear, stress and anxiety. But nothing about emotions repressed by autonomous muscular tensions (which I suffer). Yet it's also an emotional disorder. I search the...

Has anyone felt this way? I have had upper back/scapula pain for months and recently it disappeared for two weeks.I hope that was because of my TMS work and not a coincidence? I have posted before and had some helpful and comforting replies. My pain has returned. I have also posted on the...

Hi All, I just got off the the phone with someone who is succeeding in dealing with long-term TMS symptoms --digestive in this case, and I want to put to words some things which are subtle and synergistic in the path to wellness, as we use Dr. Sarno's approach. Long-time folks here will...

I've heard the metaphor that TMS is like a boiling pot thats got too my pressure and boils over. If we are to look at our emotions, but we have so much pressure that its now become unbearable mentally, so the body creates pain, then how are we to look at what is unbearable emotionally(likely a...
