I'm new to TMS, but not new to mind-body connection and how emotions can create physical manifestations. I use energy healing all the time for anything that ails. so, I have a question on how to apply the TMS criteria to compression fractures of the spine resulting from a fall from a 5' retaining wall. Added to this is osteoporosis and slow healing of the bone tissue. I'm wearing a clam shell brace to limit my movement. Doc didn't have me in it until follow-up x-rays 5 weeks after the fall revealed no progress in bone growth. He thinks I may need to wear it up to 6 months post-fall. I'm not supposed to lift anything over 5#, no bending, no torquing of body, no PT, only water walking in the pool.
I'd like to lose the brace and resume all regular physical activities.
I'm an avid gardener and am missing the season. Has anyone had any experience with applying TMS to an actual physical diagnosis? I might add that I have new muscle pain that showed up after the fall.
There isn't any compression on the nerves, however.
Thanks for any insight. |

Thanks for your input. I was hoping for a way out of the recovery period. I tend to be impatient and actually bull-headed. Want to ignore my body and get on with life.
I do have long history of back pain. Diagnosed with osteoarthritis,
fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, previous spinal compression fractures for unknown reasons (now suspect osteoporosis the culprit).
I fit the bill for TMS. So, will get over this phase and address the TMS
concurrently.

i agree with mala - TMS doesn't heal broken bones...listen to your doctor's advice! Now, if after you've followed that advice, after your doc has said that everything should now be fine, if then you're still getting back pain, then is the time to think about TMS. Not now....
hope you get better soon

You don't apply TMS in this situation. You listen to the doctor & follow his/her instructions for as long as needed. Yours is a real physical condition & your body will heal with time but the added osteoporosis may make recovery a bit slow. That's OK. Take whatever medication is needed especially for the osteo.
The muscle soreness could be anything. It may be due to the fall, the tissue surrounding the fractures or just stiffness. Ask the doctor for some pain relief if it gets too bad.
Hope you are better soon.
Good Luck & Good Health
