    Numbness and weakness along the sciatic nerve

    Hello everyone, I'm quite familiar with TMS yet I find myself with another dilemma.. 15 years ago I had a horrendous sciatic pain in my left leg that lasted 2 weeks and then disappeared. It left behind residual numbness in my foot and toes that went away eventually, or was so minimal I never...

    Facing my fears!

    I ‘m going to put my money where my mouth is: I’m leaving my house tomorrow for the first time in months. :eek: I’m going to one of my son’s houses where I haven’t been since this TMS came, over a year ago. All 3 of my children, their spouses, and my grandchildren will be there. Yikes! A lot...

    Exercise update! (From housebound to freedom!)

    I’m going to use this thread to update my progress on my exercise. I’m on Week 3 of my bed yoga. I’m averaging about four times a week, 15 min. each. At first I wanted to do more, but that’s all that ended up happening reasonably. Every day I’m feeling more limber and definitely stronger...

    A victory today

    A great surprise happened for me today! One of my worst triggers is when I spend time with my adult kids. Today was Mother’s Day and 2 of my kids and one daughter-in-law came over. Another of my triggers is walking (in my walker, or otherwise) in front of people. I lock up and get almost like...

    Can't clench a fist. Hand weakness.

    Hi everyone... I am a long-term TMSer. I suffered a lot until I read the books. The symptoms continued after reading the books, but the understanding of the symptoms allowed me to live a normal life. Last year the pain moved to my ankle and I had difficulty walking. I even got blisters because...

    Newbie here, need advice on whether to discontinue physical strengthening with noted disuse atrophy

    I have been diagnosed with tendonitis of the forearm. My two main symptoms are general weakness of the forearm, and pain in the forearm. I believe TMS is the cause of the pain, but the weakness is clearly a physical matter. I have visible disuse atrophy at the tendon cluster just below the...
