I have had several bouts of sciatica over the last 10 years--the worst lasting 2 years (before I found out about TMS). I totally believe my sciatica is emotionally based and have tried the TMS techniques, but have never really resolved it 100% without some other help. The 1st time after 2 years of tai chi, it faded. Another time I found a practitioner that does manipulations based entirely on underlying emotional aspects of pain and after several treatments it went away. I also seem to get rid of it when I am pregnant! :-) Most recently I have been under tremendous stress financially, emotionally, etc. My hus had a health scare that is still not diagnosed but we thought could be life-threatening. These stresses are still there. But I have been fine physically. Emotionally I have been in a total panic, but no sciatica. Then I went to an all day scrapbooking event and a woman mentioned in passing that sitting all day really kills her back. That suggestion was enough I guess, because the next day I felt a little tingling in my foot and even tho I tried to ignore it, within days my sciatica was raging. Total TMS! I KNOW!! Even tho I know it is emotionally based, I feel like I am losing the war in my head. I am totally gripped by the fear that nothing is going to work this time and I am going to live in pain the rest of my life. Because the stresses are ongoing too, I feel like I am doomed to sciatica. I have continued to exercise as usual, although I have reduced the incline in the treadmill to flat. I have gone back to the practitioner that helped several years ago and felt a lot better after the 1st session, but then have gotten no real physical relief after the other sessions, although emotionally I have felt better. I am anxious all the time and/or in a complete black hole of depression. I just don't understand what is different this time. It always seems that with the combination of TMS focus and other techniques (not physically based) I get better, but this time it is just dragging on. I am just tired of this sh-t. Why can't I get a hold of this? Help and thanks! [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
