I am totally convinced as of today that my pain is only from TMS. I think that I am also obsessed with my pain and it might go away if I just stop worrying about it. Whether I think psychologically or not, I think I must realize that the pain does not have to come only when I am stressed. I woke up today without the nagging irritation that I always get. I commute 45 minutes to work and it did not bother me at all. I am now sitting at work and it is radiating a little, but I know what it is. There will be difficult times ahead, but I just need to realize that if this was physical, it would not hurt in these strange patterns. Since I have been in pain, I have never really limited myself from any activities accept the most strenous. I still throw a football, and take out the garbage, and run, and other things. I don't lift weights or walk on treadmills or do pushups. This will be very difficult to get back into. |
