I know most of you talk about RSI and hip and pelvic pain a lot. i can not relate to any of that but what i can relate to is buttock pain. thats all i get then it effects my leg! are there any other tmsers with buttock pain just so i can relate to u and maybe speak to u individually just so i can vent to u as u can do to me.
i dont suffer from anything else but buttock and leg pain anyone can relate? any success? |

Jena,
I had the pain everyday for a year plus, when the fear left of "scoliosis" and all kinda scary words, the pain lost its power and stayed a while, traveling around to scare me until it gave up.
namaste! |

If you think it is extremely scary then you have not overcome the fear. Keep telling yourself - it is NOT scary at all - you need to start laughing at the pain. I even started to challeng it and say things like "is that the best you can do?!! come on - give me a little more pain!!" then I immediately switch to what is bothering me - always keep thinking psycholigically - it takes time but the brain will eventually give up |

Thank u suz for the success story! i actually overcame the fear of exercising but the crazy thing is i truly do know where the pain is coming from... but once i lay flat on my back and i move my legs a certain way theres no stopping this pain and if it actually goes out..it can be at least a week! i also got rid of my sciatic pain 100% but not buttock pain =( its so hard to explain the pain that i get i physically am unable to even move my legs!
its extremely scary and dont get me wrong it has been a lot better but not completely... im just going to continue jorunaling and reading over and over Sarnos books.
Again thank u suz for your input and encouragement.
im not giving up. |

I don't know. I actually feel that the success came from overcoming the fear. I think that is the hardest thing. I also liked hearing over and over again from the psychologist how this was all my brain. At the beginning, when I started to talk about things, the pain got really bad. I also had to look at what i didn't want to face.
I guess it did help. Finally overcoming the fear of exercise really ended the pain |

Suz - What a wonderful success story! Were the 4 months of psychotherapy essential to your success? |

I had 12 years of sciatic pain - absolutely unbelievable. Now - NOTHING. I saw so many doctors/chiropractors. The TMS 'cure' worked when I overcame the fear. I didn't care if I got the pain or not. I just laughed at it as I knew in my heart of hearts that Sarno was right and the pain was simply a distraction. I did this by reading, journalling - seeing a sarno psychologist for 4 months and then finally getting the courage up to run - the very last thing I was too scared to do. I did a little bit each day and when the pain came, I laughed and kept going.
I have no pain now - absolutely no pain. Sarno is right. His theory works |

thank u again for the responces! special one it will go away but i know how u feel about buttock pain ill tell u that much. its horrible absolutly the most painful thing i have ever experienced but i understand your question about since u know its tms why doesnt it go away? and i feel the same way. i know 100% there is nothing seriously wrong with my back and i know i shouldnt be in pain but the pain doesnt really subside even though i know where its coming from. i still have to study tms but one day i know for sure we'll be able to stop it when it comes. its just hard.
and joli i feel a lot better that u have had the same experience and are so much better now. how long have you been pain free? |

I, too, have buttock pain. It comes and goes. Yesterday was uncomfortable on my left side and today it is fine. I had a rough day emotionally yesterday and it must have triggered the pain. I was then mad at my body for being in pain when all day I was trying to tell my brain that it couldn't trick me because I knew that my emotions were causing it. This confuses me! When I know why I have the pain, and it is tms, why is it still there? Is my brain just trying to see if I'll be consistent? Some of my tms pains come on at night when I am turning over in bed. I alway pop and crack alot in my pelvis, neck and back. Usually it is not painful. But sometimes it is, for example, this morning I turned over and my tailbone "popped" and then there was a pain in the butt muscle. I thought, "great. another day of not being able to bend over comfortably." I slept a bit more and when I got up it was gone. I just don't get it. I don't know what to expect. I am glad it was gone, but it seems that I am always in suspense. Yesterday my left knee was hurting, not from my car, but from the stressful day of emotion, I believe. I thought it would be sore today, too. It's not. But my upper back, elbow and thumb are sore. I guess it is almost funny. The left hip pain has been the longest one for me, going on 10 years. I have been to four different chiropractors, physical therapy, had an x-ray (normal), and taken ibuprofen and tylenol. It is still here. Yet since I learned about tms, it did recede for about a month solid and now it comes and goes. It's funny...the most it ever hurt was when I was trying to do special excercises and see the doctor, etc...I went into the office and said, "I thought that while I'm here for my thyroid test, I'd like to take care of this pain in my hip." I thought it was that simple. It wasn't. Now I know that tms is the only way out.

yes i have been also about85% better but im still working up to the 100%. i have the exact same problem with conditioning!
i dont know if its something with the muscle and nerves in the butt because they are very much conditioned. my sciatica went away 100%.
its more stubborn buttock pain i feel and it hurts a lot more! |

Buttocks and leg pain - those are my primary TMS symptoms....About 85% better since I got serious about Sarno. Back into most activities but still have conditioning problems with a few activities....Tried nearly every possible type of medical quackery before Sarno to no avail - over the last 20 years. |
