Post Concussion and Whiplash TMS

Hello everyone

I had two consequtive injuries skiing and horse riding in January and March this year.

Since then I’ve had persistent head and neck nerve pain, significant investigations including MRI of my whole upper body all to no structural findings and have since learned a lot about TMS/MBS. I had an injection to the Greater Occipital Nerve which quelled symptoms for about 10 days.

Some of the biggest clues I have that it’s central sensitisation/TMS/MBS
- I have severe anxiety and fear that I will be like this forever
- when I had a cold it went away
- the conclusive MRI and CT scanning
- it got progressively better then progressively worse

My biggest doubts and hurdles
- fear I’ll never be the same
- fear that nerve pain cannot be TMS as can’t find examples of success
- fear that concussion cannot be TMS as can’t find examples of success
- I have a lot of neck grinding and crunching and trying to convince my brain that the sounds are harmless is one of my biggest challenges to prove it’s TMS
- months of reading stories about people who never healed from whiplash (assuming they never found the causes being TMS)

thanks for listening.

 

I’d like to connect with anyone that’s on the same journey as me if there’s anyone out there!
