so recently ive invested in laptop, everything i was writing before was done on my phone, but since its alot easier to look up stuff on the internet it maybe a big mistake.
I found a facebook - sacroiliac joint dysfunction group... basic my diagnosis... i put a post up to see if anone had read or had an success with dr sarnos work. Big big mistake, i got 22 comebacks of "please dont tell me its all in my head", "we have a structural issue" and lots of sarcasm to go with it. All i asked was had anyone read the book.. clearly i unleashed alot of pent up anger in this people that are clearly distressed with their pain. but then im in pain to and intially i thought wow, these people really need to open up to other possiblities as to were the pain might be actually be the cause of, but then as i read the post i got and more depressed, on it, were all my diagnosis, my experiences, my symptoms, and i thought "what if it really is physical?" there were people on the site who have been in pain for 20 odd years, i cant be like that!!
but what if si joint dysfucntion, where your si joint wont stay in place due to lax ligaments is a real thing, what if it isnt tms? i know no one can really answer these questions for me, but its really hard when theres so much more physical stuff written up on si joint dysfuntion than there is on tms. keeping the faith is difficult.
This to shall pass.... |

Darko, of course it serves me better to believe my pain is tms, but i guess something inside me wants the truth, not whats easier to hear, plus if it is "physical" then i would retry the prolotherapy again as it did help last time. i know i shouldnt even be thinking about it, but the impatient part of me wants a cure/fix right now... the only thing thats keeping on the tms path is sara and caroyln success stories as their very similar to mine... i wish they were mine. i feel like i am at a crossroads and i even stay on this route of tms or i go back to trying to figure it out physically... but physically i dont fancy my chances, i dont want to be one of those si joint fuses failed surgery people, i dont want surgery full stop but i cant live like this much longer, im finding it increasingly difficult to remain upbeat.

HB,
If your pain really is a physical issue, then we can predict for certainty what your future will look like.......PAIN! And pain that will need to be managed and will not go away......so it can't get any worse than it is right now.
However lets say it's emotional and you go down the Sarno road, what could your future look like?? Well you could be in pain as per above OR you could be pain free.
So if you break it down......you will never be worse off by believing it's emotional....and have the potential to being much better off. You're exposing yourself to potentially a fantastic reward for ZERO RISK.
WHY WOULD YOU NOT THINK IT'S EMOTIONAL THEN??
You're believing the toxic thoughts in your mind....it's not serving you to believe this is it?
I only listen to anything if it's going to serve me.....if not then I delete it

Google 'interstitial cystitis'. *SHUDDERS* Actually don't, because you might catch what I've "got" and you don't want that

With all your loose joints, have you ever thought of becoming a Yoga teacher? Sounds like it would be an advantage in that area.

Trying to convince some Internet disease group (whatever the supposed illness) that their pain might be psychosomatic is a waste of energy. All the more so when the person trying to do the convincing isn't sure herself.
By the way, just can't help myself. I just keep thinking you'd want to know. If I'm wrong, please accept my apologies. It's "this *too* shall pass."

p.s - i was told i have many hypermobile joints, wrists, fingers, knees etc... but that my si joint was loose and my pelvis was unstable. sometimes i feel like my upper body is just balancing ontop of my lower body, it does feel loose, but maybe because thats what ive been told it is... power of the nocebo and all that.
i was told it was the car accident that knocked my si joint out of whack, but i remember having pain on and off a month before that, with no injury before hand.
any advice, similaries to your story?! hb

sara, i used to have back pain for years ever since i was about 15 years old, this would come on if i walked more than about two hours constantly. but it was never as bad as now, it only effected me if i over walked. but when i got into fitness i started working my lower back and for about 2-3 years i didnt have any back pain whatsoever. -could walk for hours with no problem.
i was told my back pain was due to a slight scoliosis when i was 15.. which ive since been told since this si joint pain started that i dont have scoliosis at all. the fact that i had pain when i was younger has thrown me off abit, but then if i was hypermobile all along why did i have 2 3 years painfree completely?!
im really trying to stay on this tms path.. your personal story is whats keeping me going. how long would you say it took you to get to 85% better?

HB,
The internet is full of stories. I refuse to google any of my symptoms after learning the hard way. I am now trying to disregard everything I have read.
I have a couple of questions for you. Were you told you always had loose ligaments? Or were you told they were a result of your accident? Or something else?
