I just wanted to write about how I have been facing tms lately. I don't sleep with a pillow between my knees anymore, I don't try to make my pillow the "perfect" height, I don't massage my neck every night, I don't avoid shoes that seemed to bother my ankle, I carry my daughter on my hip more often and have been running along side her(she just figured out how to run), I don't try to sit and stand with correct posture at all times, I don't avoid sleeping on my right side because of back tenderness, I do push-ups without fear of shoulder injury, I don't tell everyone about where I hurt, I journal uncensored, and I go for long walks. My symptoms haven't worsened and I see improvements. I definitely feel more confident.
Has anyone been watching the olympics and wondered if any of their injuries are tms? I guess I have tms on the brain! |

being a professional ice skater I can tell you that the reason there are more injuries in our sport is because the degree of difficulty is much higher. When I was competing way back in the 60's and 70's, we didn't do triples and there were far fewer injuries. we were still under the same amount of pressure though. The amount of torque and having to complete 3 revolutions as opposed to 2 is a tremendous amount of force coming down on the hips and legs.
not saying you can't develop TMS but injuries are a real problem now. Now I think golf and it's inherent back problems could be more along the TMS lines but then again hard to say.

I remember reading an article on prolotherapy for healing ligaments and joints and they stated that injuries usually recur over and over again, of course, until you get prolotherapy. It just doesn't seem right that our bodies would be so weak. I like Sarno's theory that we really do heal completely, it's only our conditioning and fear of reinjury makes us hurt. I still find it hard to confidently go about certain activities because of this fear. I'm sure this is normal. I am slowly growing bolder, though. |

I started wondering about too that when I heard about Michelle Kwan withdrawing. The news articles reported that she'd suffered a number of other injuries recently -- that got me thinking about TMS. While I wouldn't presume to say whether a particular athlete's injury is TMS, I think that in general, they must be under a lot of pressure -- it's a perfect setting for TMS. I think Sarno wrote something about how the incidence of injuries has increased for athletes. He says it's hard to believe that athletes have become more physically incompetent over time -- more likely, they're facing increased pressure to perform that's manifesting itself as TMS. (I think this was in MBP, but I couldn't be sure.) |

Well done!

I haven't been watching, but whenever I hear of sportspeople with recurring injuries on the news I certainly think of it.
