Been watching this forum for a couple of weeks and thought I would post my mini success story. History chronic rsi for 9 years(from guitar) I'm 28 now pelvic pain syndrome chronic sciatica for 4 months (diagnosed bulging disc)
I developed chronic sciatica while overseas on a 3 month trip and had to come home early because the pain wa unbearable with the amount of walking you need to do for sight-seeing and general living. I've had chronic rsi for 9 years and been on disability for the last 2 years.
The next day after reading sarno's book the sciatica was gone and I started to journal in handwriting, which is amazing for me as I haven't been able to write or type for years. 15 pages later I felt a lot less burdened by the past
The day after that I started using my hands even though it hurt and telling myself to give emotion instead of pain. When I do this I instantly get a really strong shiver up my spine and feel a bit like crying or getting angry or whatever emotion is there at the time.
I's now two weeks since and I'm doing more than I have for years. Today I did 20 pushups/situps/ lifted weights and ran up and down a mountain (I haven't been able to even jog for 3 years from pelvic pain syndrome)
I'm still getting pain from my hands but it's shifting around and I don't fear it anymore. In fact the lack of fear and freedom involved is just amazing.
Whats working for me
Knowledge that I'm not doing permanent damage Journalling when I get pain to work out the cause behind it Knowledge and proof that the pain isn't from a physical cause Instantly changing pain into emotion Dominantly using the body part that hurts the most Reading other success stories which prove the method works for some
Thanks for the tip Interesting day today TMS in right hand back with a vengence but it made a mistake. I've done the same workout with my left hand and have no pain therefore confirming once again it is TMS. Another thing I struggled with a bit is the line is getting blurred a bit between muscle soreness from exercise and symptoms of TMS.
