I have had back, neck and shoulder pain for 38 years and after reading books by Dr. Sarno and The Great Pain Deception by Steven Ray Ozanich have realized that I have TMS. After coming to this realization and putting into practice some of the techniques I have learned from these books, I have made a lot of progress and the pain is much better. However, I am still struggling with how to discharge anger and stress that bring on pain.
