I successfully "cured" Tms back pain about 3 years ago and then shoulder and upper back pain 2 years ago. I have had small flare ups that lasted a day or two, but not anything of any significance. A week ago playing volleyball, I fell and knowing that I jammed my wrist and shoulder, I went to a chiropractor. Since he adjusted my back and neck, I have had increasing pain in my shoulder and some in my arm (very much like I had two years ago). I am starting a new job in three weeks and I wonder if all the stress from that is causing the TMS to flare up again. I am a little scared, I have to admit, and angry at myself for letting a chiropractor adjust my neck (I never liked the idea of hearing it pop. I think that I am also just worrying and letting the TMS weasel its way back to causing problems.
Any suggestions??
Also, has anyone seen the TMS Dr. in Somerset, NJ? |

Since you went to the chiropractor you're thinking physical. That's a sure fire way to allow TMS to set back in.
Now I suspect that the chiropractic adjustment was a trigger for TMS. Clearly starting a new job is a huge source of stress and needs to be explored.
Sounds like you got off the TMS track. TMS is a life-long change in the way of thinking about pain. You fell into old traps, thinking physical and going to the chiropractor. Time to get back on the wagon. |

| I think that you are right. Today, is weird, though. The arm pain is minimal, the neck pain is almost gone, but my mid back feels like someone beat me with a baseball bat. Does this sound like shifting symptoms to anyone else? Hopefully, that means that I am on my way to defeating this flare up. I think that I will go for a walk tonight. |
