Day 4

The most disheartening thing that a medical provider told me was that I may always have some symptoms (nerve pain), that it would be my "achilles" pain. No one one would tell me that I would have a complete recovery. F*** you very much, I thought to myself. I refused to believe that this was my new normal. So I continued to search the web looking for something hopeful and I found the TMS website.

 

Welcome to the Forum! So glad you have joined us her. This is a hopeful place, as many of us have totally recovered from TMS. Let us know how we can support you on your healing journey.

Best wishes......

 

Hi Watermelon,

Me either, and here I am skiing, after climbing a mountain, and after not getting the surgery that so many doctors told me I needed in order to hike again. You can do it too!

Watermelon,

I absolutely feel your pain! I always hated it when doctors told me or my clients "you will always have pain" because it just sets us up for failure and entering into that awful pain/disuse cycle. I understand that medical professionals don't want to give false hope but its just not right to say this. Glad you're here and working through it! I'm a month or so into TMS recovery and feeling awesome...started jogging and doing pilates again for the first time in months.

 

Andy,
It was your post on a tarsal tunnel blog that brought me to the TMS site. Thank you! Your injury sounds very similar to mine and the fact that you are pain free gave me hope!

 

wow that is great!

 

I am so happy to hear this. I wish you the best!
