I am seeking an expert TMS consultant's advice regarding the muscle nodules in my back.

I'm a 27-year-old male named Achen. I used to work in finance and stock trading. For the past three years, I've been suffering from chronic shoulder and lower back pain. Last August, after an MRI, the doctor said my cervical lordosis was very bad, which made me highly vigilant. Since then, I've been doing cervical exercises and swimming frequently. However, during one swimming session, I caught a cold and had a fever due to getting chilled. After that, I developed severe lower back and back pain. Despite numerous hospital visits and tests, doctors found no significant issues. But my problems kept increasing: back pain, high heart rate, shortness of breath, and later, vision fatigue and anxiety symptoms. After a year of seeking treatment, a chief physician diagnosed me with "myofasciitis," a condition where the back muscles become hardened and nodular. The doctor believed that these lesions were the cause of my pain and complex symptoms. Since then, I've been to many doctors and received multiple needle-knife treatments, but none of them worked and some even worsened my condition. I'm now desperately wondering if the muscle nodules in my back are also typical symptoms of TMS. Have other members who have experienced TMS back pain had similar back issues?

The chiropractor who came to my house diagnosed that the muscles in my back were stiff and in a knotted state. Is this related to TMS? Or is it a specific structural problem?

Muscles knots, muscle tension “myofascial inflammation” are all hallmarks of TMS. It’s a common misconception that if you have a physical, anatomical or physiological change it isn’t TMS. The brain in perpetual fight or flight, the TMS brain is fully capable of creating muscle tension and the resulting pain. I have muscle knots throughout my cheek muscles (what the medical community refers to as TMJ), as well as some in my upper back/neck

evidence logs are so so Important. Does the pain shift or move, does it lessen when you’re doing something or out of the house, does it worsen when stressed Do baths help, do you not notice it when you first wake up, does the weather affect it? Etc. these are.

idk how much you are like me. But the absolute first step imo is to stop scanning your body, feeling the knots checking their size, firmness etc. I had a huge problem with my various symptoms of obsessively scanning my symptoms, trying to pinpoint the pain, all it did was make me neurotic, every symptom I’ve had gets better when I stop obsessively scanning for them. This is much easier said than done, especially in the early stage when we’re in the fear loop of thinking we’re broken and being terrified of the pain and what it means for the rest of our lives. You’ve been checked out by drs, they couldn’t help, a TMS/mindbody approach can definitely help you!

also I’m not an expert by any means so take what I say with a grain of salt and hopefully more experienced members will chime in.

 

I've had very similar back issues. I'm not a medical professional, I'm just some random internet person who's experienced TMS.

I do not have the noddules (I stopped sensing anything like that long ago, as the symptoms moved about my body), have lower back sensations and other symptoms. For myself, it's all TMS.
@JanAtheCPA has offered you the best advice.

If you need a professional's advice, Dr. Schecter in Los Angeles and Dr. Shubiner near Chicago take consultations. There are a very few other TMS specialists who will consult about physical "structural" things around the world. Both of the above doctors will sometimes offer consultations over the internet for a consultation fee.

 

It is the same thing based on my reading and witnessing limited others. Another random internet person no medical professional. Examine your job, your close relationships especially family/partners, what really pisses you off that you can't even think about.

 

Yes, my pain gets worse every rainy day. Besides, the masseur can find tender points on the nodules on my back. I wonder if your situation is similar to mine. I want to know if you have relieved your pain through TMS.
