I thought I was starting to understand how my TMS works 5 months after learning about it. It moved a few times to different locations other than my low back and left side of my neck. About a month and a half ago, or so, it moved to my upper right hamstring. Whenever it moved in the past it only lasted a few days or a week maybe. It has been consistently there for a long time. I do not recall injuring it, but I do wonder if my stretching routine has caused it? My gut feeling is TMS, but it has been a long time and that is not the norm for me. If it is indeed TMS, how do I get rid of this persistent pain? I have some doubts and just need some fresh ideas. I sure am not giving up!

Just a couple quick questions...
1) Since the pain has been persistent, have you had it checked out to make sure it's not something more serious such as a tumor or something?
2) Did you experience any kind of physical trauma that could be a trigger for the pain?
TMS pain will stick if it can do a good job of distracting you. If it can cause you to worry about the pain, it won't go away. If you doubt it's TMS, it won't go away. According to SteveO's book...let it hurt, stop worrying about it, stop "trying" to heal, and get on with life. When you stop worrying about it and stop thinking about it and start being mindful of your emotions, situations, etc, that's when the pain will subside.
And I know what you mean! For some reason my left hamstring has been the most persistent target lately! But I've been doing good in reducing how I'm monitoring it...but when I do monitor it...it is more persistent...it's hard not to monitor it!
