Pain


I don’t want to feel it and I don’t want to talk or write about it anymore. Every day it is someplace else in my body. Lately I can hardly walk. Years ago I had a resolution of my TMS symptoms. They returned gradually and now with a vengeance. I have seen Dr,. Sarno. .read all his books, been a member of this forum for months and months.
I am exhausted, depressed, pissed off and so son and so on.
I have been in therapy. Met with my inner child. Cried my heart and soul out over my childhood. Recognized my triggers. I have journaled talked to my brain and anyone else willing to listen. Kept a positive attitude, ignored my pain and now I just don’t know what else to do.
I am ruined because I am sure TMS is the cause of my ongoing pain. Knowing about TMS assures me that nothing in traditional medicine can help. Not surgery ,pills, physical therapy , acupuncture . At least before a placebo could give me temporary relief, now I have none.

Hang in there. I'm gradually, slowly coming out of a six-month pain period. Last week had a breakdown with my wife, letting it all out. The next morning I told her that was the last she was gonna hear about my back. I haven't mentioned it since. What do you know, it's started to feel better... I just got obsessed with the pain. It was hard to watch TV or movies and see people move the way I couldn't move, just everyday crap. Totally ridiculous. I tried journaling but just ended up writing the same things over and over. Felt dopey and forced.

Tonight I'm going to my first yoga class and ignoring the pain.

How does a person get back to their lives if they are unable to walk without stumbling or looking crippled? The pain is so severe I have to fight not to scream or cry. Yes, I have cried and screamed..I try not to do that in public.
Up until about a week ago I was doing whatever it is I do and I am not a complainer..Most never knew I was in pain. Now because I am in such extreme pain everyone is asking me if I am ok, or do I need help, or why don't you sit down?

You are in an acute phase. They don't last. I would get some painkillers and ride it out.

Thanks Plantweed,
I needed to be reminded that this will pass.
Your encouragement is greatly appreciated.
