hey all!
I love reading success stories, so here's a quick one of mine.
I used to be very quick to injure myself working out, to the point that I could almost never work-out.
Once I discovered TMS I overcame this very quickly because it was mmma brain.
Yesterday I was jumping rope - I'm practicing jumping on one foot - when I suddenly felt some dull pain in my knee. I stopped, but then the pain got really sharp. I kind of freaked out at first, but after a quick assessment of what happened, I could really not see how the pain could go from dull to sharp without me doing anything with it.
It was dull, then I stopped doing anything and after that it got stabbing. It was very illogical.
So once I figured that out, I started doing some things with it that hurt. bending it and putting pressure on it hurt very much. But then I realised the pain had moved location! After that I did a spinning workout, putting full force on it, because it really couldn't convince me anymore. Once I got of the bike the pain was gone.
I am still so thankful that I am one of the lucky ones that has discovered TMS. When one of these things happens I'm always baffled by what my brain can cook up, how real the symptoms seem and how quickly they disappear. Five years ago this knee thing would have stopped my in my tracks and would have me down and depressed because of my broken body. Now I know it's just my very creative brain that apparently really hates exercise.
