Ok, so here's the story last december I had a minor car crash... a week later I started getting lower back pain, although as I've been thinking back as part of the tms process I remember having a few days before the crash where I even had to sit down as I didn't feel I could stand anymore, this was also at a stressful time in my life... fell out with a friend, got pushed out my job, family problems etc....
So now I've been told I have a hypermobile sacroiliac joint, and that I have gereralised hypermobility in most of my joints... I can basically move my joints further than other non hypermobile people.
I believe I have the tms personality, and It unlocks the key to a lot of things in my past if it were tms... I used to have multiple food allergies before the back pain, 8 years I couldn't eat wheat or dairy,,, now suddenly I can no problem... almost like the back pain has taken its place!
So now I'm kinda stuck, all of sudden I was fine and then I'm told that I'm hypermobile and I have an si joint which won't support my pelvis...
I'm really scared and I would love to hear if people have been through this or something similar, and if they think its tms... its the hypermobility throwing me off....

Hi Healingback, I replied to you also but maybe you missed it so I'll repost it for you just in case, hope this helps:
This is the TMS Help FORUM, therefore, not knowing you at all, the answer is you should have stuck with the first osteo who suggested investigating your emotions. He sounds like a wise doctor who understands the mindbody. Go back to your first osteo, or seek out some second and third opinions on "hypermobility". It sounds like hog-wash to me, but I don't know you so maybe yours is the very rare case. There's no way you can be properly dx'ed over the internet, but you asked for TMS opinions so that's what I'm offering up.
I've done a lot of sports and bodywork and never heard of "hyper-mobility" being a problem. Some people's joints are tighter and some people's are looser. You're 27, if this was a congenital "problem" it would have probably manifested itself early in childhood. Your osteo put a powerful NOCEBO into your mindbody by conjuring up "hypermobility" as the problem. If anything, hypermobility is a sought after trait, witness all the Yoga and Pilates in the last few decades.
Prolotherapy is qauckery, injecting sugar water into your joints. Any benefits would be placebo.
If the SI joint belt you mentioned is like the ones you see on a lot of workers, studies have shown they do nothing. Read Dr. Sarno and you will learn the back is STRONG!
As I mentioned in a previous reply, whip-lash exists in Finland but not in neighboring Lithuania because in the later country there is no monetary court rewards for it, so no one gets whiplash.
Keep reading Dr. Sarno, the answers to all your questions are in the books, videos and Audiobooks.

Hey thanks for replying. .. you were the only one so far and I was starting to think that my problem was so unusual that no one wanted to comment as to whether it was a issue. Can I ask. How old you wife is now? Can she do things like put her
hands flat on the floor with her legs straight? I have heard alot of horror stories about the pain hypermobility people have to Hi through and since I have this back problem I'm scared I'm gonna be like them. |
