I started this program because I had excruciating sciatic nerve pain all the way down my leg after having serious back pain for months (and on an off for years). I was seeing a Chiro that recommended I see another doctor that would probably recommend cortisone shots. That got my attention, and here I am on Day 33.
I now have no doubt that I have TMS because I stopped seeing the chiro and massage therapist. I stopped stretching, and I have been running and walking, and this weekend I dance for 4 hours straight in GIANT high heels. If there was something structurally wrong with my body, then I would be crippled right now. I now totally get why Dr. Sarno says to STOP stretching and STOP all physical rehab. If I was doing any rehab, I could have some doubt that it is the rehab that is making me feel better and not the deep emotional digging that is healing my body and mind. I had to STOP all therapy so that there is NO doubt what is helping. I feel great. My leg pain is so slight that I have to really pay attention to see if it actually hurts. I just had a sign of relief. I can do this. Again. I am so so grateful for this community. I think I am going to cry now!!!!! So happy.
