Hello
I have posted in the SEP forum previously. This will be a fairly long post, so please accept my sincere thanks in advance.
Background
Diagnosed with L5/S1 disc herniation through MRI
July 2015 could not walk more than 100 feet without severe pain for 6 weeks.
Start physical therapy in July 2015 and can walk in August 2015, but still burning pain down leg constant 6-7 on pain scale.
Have epidural steroid injection in Sept and Dec 2015 helps a bit but pain and burning continues.
Start with a chiropractor in November 2015 and spinal decompression makes things worse, so stop after 2 months.
Try 5 sessions of accupuncture no relief. Doing lots of core strengthening daily.
Jan 2016 until June 2016 begin seeing a psychologist and dealing with issues. Find out about Dr. Sarno and see Dr. Paul Gowzdz August 2016 TMS diagnosis confirmed!
I begin accepting TMS/MBS and pain dissappates at times, but is usually present. Sometimes only a 1-3 on pain scale or less.
Working the SEP now (since August), but still fairly obsessed with pain when it comes on which is often. In working with psychologist discover that I am very stressed about childhood, when I discuss it I just cry and cry this has happened 2-3 times.
Strange thing happens when I travel and visit my dad who now has stage 4 cancer and stay at my sister's house. I have gone 5-7 days with no pain at all recently! As soon as I return home the pain begins and ramps up again.
My psychologist tells me I am making very good progress, as I am getting in touch with my inner child. I also run one mile a day now.
So what gives?
I still have burning pain in my leg off and on most of the day and sometimes in my butt (piriformis syndrome).
I an trying to be patient and kind to myself and deal with my emotional turmoil and apply Sarno' s techniques and meditate twice a day as well.
So, I am really not sure what to do and when this will end, I think there's proof enough that it is TMS/MBS. How long can this go on?
Thanks for reading this, any advice or similar stories of those that gave overcome this would help!
Thanks!
