Hi, my name is Lynn from Toronto, Canada. I have been reading these posts for a few years now, read all the popular books mentioned on this site along with Alan Gordon’s program etc etc.
It all stared over 5 years ago when I had a breast cancer scare, all was good but I still went through 4 surgeries in less than 2 years because I did preventative surgeries similar to Angelina Joli only I didn’t make the papers lol. After all the successfully surgeries were over, a few months after, I developed low back pain like a daunted wire across the very low back, which never went away, more fear set in thinking I had bone cancer, after months and months of bone scans, mri ultrasounds, etc etc all was normal. I also exhausted the system with physio, acupuncture, chiropractor, private trainer etc etc.
To make a long story shorter, nothing helped and my body stayed in a fear mode permanently.
I believe in TMS and I don’t think it’s structural even if the pain/discomfort is there all the time with varying degrees. At night it releases and I can sleep well, in the morning I don’t even have to move, the pain just comes,
Along with the low back, the top of buttocks - glutei are painful as if I had done exercise for hours. I also get a discomfort around the SI joint or sciatica but it never goes down my leg: the pain is regional. I am in pretty good shape, ran the NY marathon 10 years ago and was still running when all this started.
it’s discouraging and sometimes I doubt TMS,
