As I understand TMS has a huge profile, however I never heard whatever I experience is related to this. At least, I never met somebody with a similar problem.

I do have a shoulder and neck stiffness and tension,
without any cause, it's just coming and going. Sometimes, suddenly,
I can start feel and hear cracking/clicking in my shoulders, elbows
and ears. But most bothering thing is my mouth. I can start to feel
tension somewhere between my jaws along neck and even tongue, so I have to release it by opening a jaw or sometimes is enough by moving my head down. Recently it's attacking me every single day for a couple of hours...
My doctor opinion is DDD in my neck...

Have you ever heard about these symptoms?

Thanks,
Julia

Isn't that TMJ? Sarno talks about TMJ being a manifestation of TMS. The intermittent nature and no obvious cause smells of TMS.

It sure does sound like TMS, since the symptoms come and go. Especially true if they also move around.

Although I officially had RSI as my main TMS 'symptom', I also had an awful lot of tension and stiffness, mainly in my shoulders and neck - which, as you say, would come and go, often seemingly unconnected to what i was doing. I also found I had a very tight jaw. Quite frequently during the day I would notice that I was holding it very tense and would try to relax it, but it would keep coming back. I would wake up in the morning with my jaw very tight.

Your symptoms do sound very TMS-like. I know Sarno mainly talks about pain, but there are others here who have had more tension / stiffness than pain and I think it is the same thing.

If you do a search on TMJ I and others have recounted our success stories with it.

Love is the answer, whatever the question
