Perhaps someone has experienced this. After finally understanding TMS and knowing it is the reason for my back issues as I have successfully defeated it, I have only experienced again on two occasions. On both occasions, I took on a new job and within a couple of weeks of starting, all my back pain came back. I am not sure why as my most recent job move is a good one where I am actually using my education properly. The last time I tried a new job (on a interim basis), I developed severe back pain and then went back to my old job where after a few weeks, my back pain went away. I thought that by taking on a new job that I was really happy to do, I would not experience these problems again but I am. It is not as bad as last time but my symptoms are hanging on. I refuse to let it stop me from running or working out but I just cant shake the symtoms. It has been about 8 weeks of back and hip pain. The pain moves around sometimes from side to side and from my back into my hip. Any thoughts. |

Thanks for the input folks. I think that where I work (with inmates) the change of job and more confrontational inmates has created a huge amount of anxiety (tingling in my back) and unconscious fears. Right now my anxiety levels are so high (flight or fight) I don't think I had chance dealing with the change (whether it is perceived as good or bad). I think that the change in jobs itself was enough to bring back the pain. Last time this happened, I went back to old job, started taking effexor (37.5 mgs) and after about 6-8 weeks, I felt better and better. I really don't want to go back on the medication because it is just masking the issue. I have made a conscious decision to go back to my old job (it is also a good job) because I feel more in control and it is more suited for my unconscious fears right now. The only problem is that I have to wait until April 1 to go back. I have a golf trip planned for end of January but I am going to go without any fear of pain. I don't think it is quitting on the new job. I just see it as "not the right time" to make a change of this nature. I want to thank everyone for their encouraging remarks and support. I didn't know what to expect. It has given me confidence that everything will be alright if I just keep applying the principles of the program. Just so you know, I watched a hockey game last night about a player from Nashville Predators who missed 2 years of NHL hockey because of back pain. He indicated that despite 2 operations, it was the psychological therapy that has hoped the most. I am not sure if he is aware of TMS but I would put all my money on this diagnosis. Thanks again and god bless. |

I always find starting a new job rather stressful, even if it's a "good" job. You're with strangers who don't know you, and you're under pressure to make a good impression on them, because first impressions count for a lot, and are very hard to remove, once made.

Sorry I have nothing to add, I just occasionally read discussions that might help my continuing mission to stay complaint free, and I also have minor relapses sometimes where this makes good sense:

Do you remember where you read this? Then I can reread the chapter. I have (read) "The Divided Mind" and "The Mindbody Prescription".

I agree with Marsha. Sarno tells that the events of life trigger the sub-conscious mind. We will never know it. And because job changing is not often enough for the sub-conscious to learn that "New" is "Good" - it resulted in a rage of fear.
I think in this case you had no hope of control over TMS. However the pain will leave and never come back. Until next job LOL - unless your brain has learned it is safe.
You'll be fine

Change good and bad can cause a relapse. Work the program. Focus on you brain not the pain.
You will be fine.
