Thank you. I guess I just feel lost. I’ve read on google that some hamstring injuries create fibrosis and scar tissue if not treated extremely tenderly during the healing process (I did not tend to my injury well at all) and that this tissue can only be removed through surgery. (I tried all the massage, injection, physical therapy stuff.)
Sweetheart, Googling your symptoms is quite possibly the worst thing to do. Google is a fear-mongering, catastrophising demon that deals in generics and a purely physical belief based system. It’s the complete opposite of TMS healing. It’s understandable but shows that you don’t yet get what TMS is and how it creates the mayhem it does, and that’s ok. This is a learning process.
I didn’t tend to my Achilles injury at all. I kept dancing on it for hours a week, week in and week out for months.
I also didn’t tend to my emotional state and the awful things that were happening at the time. My partner was incredibly ill and in the years to come would be diagnosed with Parkinson’s. His dad had died after suffering from Alzheimer’s. My grandmother died. My favourite aunt died. We were repossessed and had to move out and find a new place to live in the week before Christmas. And the girl I idolised and who inspired me to become a dancer humiliated me on stage and then in the car journey home took the piss out of me to the point where I shut down and could barely speak for a week.
That’s a lot of stress.
Oh yes, and my best friend (at the time), told me I should “get a grip”.
I stopped dancing completely within weeks. I couldn’t walk at all. I could barely even stand. I didn’t know about TMS back then but looking back, how could it not be?
You need to look at your own circumstances and see what kind of stress is playing out.
Can TMS work really soften the body to make this sort of tissue release? I feel it rub on the muscles and twinge the nerves when I do certain movements and it’s stiff there and weaker. - it’s very frustrating.
My hunch is to just plow forward anyway - I know movement can’t hurt me. I’m just angry it’s there to begin with and that I had this injury that has left such residual issue.
I don’t want surgery, but if fibrosis is there, maybe it needs to be removed?
TMS is tension. End of.
So yes, it does soften the body. And the mind. And the heart.
Lots of people on this forum have had surgery which hasn’t worked. Only you can make that call. I’d suggest working to remove any psychological knots and emotional scar tissue first.
