It's been ages since I've been around, probably only a few of you remember me. I used to have RSI back in 2006 and hung around for a while after. A year ago (ish) I sprained my ankle, and it didn't get treated properly. Even after treatment it seemed to take forever healing and got inflamed a lot. I was recommended physical therapy and did a bunch of that, then had a "relapse" with lot of fluid in the ankle joint, got an MRI which came back clear for structural injury. Then several weeks of rest, more PT...it seemed to be getting better a few months later, but again slowly. A few times I wondered to myself "Hm, could this be TMS?" I even came back here to do searches and see if inflammation and swelling could be TMS, since I never had swelling before. But I was always doubtful because there was some scar tissue in my ankle and it was a little weak, and I did have a real injury that can take a while to heal. Finally in the last week I kept thinking it was ridiculous that it was still hurting because the patterns were just getting more and more random. How could I go on a two mile walk and have hardly any pain, then hurt while sitting at the computer? Oops, that's a classic TMS sign, huh? Well, yeah. And I was also somewhat depressed for a few months. Another sign! So I finally started applying TMS thinking to the ankle and doing some journaling and lo and behold, I've seen a lot of improvement in the last week, and the light tingling that signals improved bloodflow for me. Also I started getting random pain in other places in my feet and knees. Hahaveryfunny. Not falling for that one, body. It's just been a little while so far, and I haven't got up the nerve to do anything I absolutely couldn't do before, so it's just a qualified success as yet. But I was excited enough that I wanted to come here and share it. I'm going to keep working toward getting back to normal. And my PT officially graduated me today (for the second time, heh) so I have that signal of confidence too. -- What were you expecting? [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
