I just got a google alert for the article below about the "business of out patient surgery". In regards to my hip, which may or may not be TMS, these are the surgical advances I would wait for. In the near future many surgeries for REAL stuff will be as routine as dentistry.
I realize this is contrary to TMS--but some things like fractures are structural. I post this because it shows hope that procedures will be less invasively traumatic with less chance of dying in a hospital from complications such as pneumonia and infection.
Hip replacement is not something I am entertaining in the near future. A little "nip/tuck", arthroscopically, maybe. They call it a medical "PRACTICE", I'm waiting for the docs to stop "practicing" and start "doing".

If it's from TMS pain, then it's just doing it's job as a psychological defense mechanism, a protective device from having to experience emotional pain, that your primitive unconscious mind fears will be worse than the physical.
Look at the Rahe-Holmes list in my sig below and find the "dis-ease" life events that built up your TMS reservoir of rage to overflowing.
Read your Sarno or read some of the excerpts in my sig.
Memorize Dr. Sarno's 12 Daily Reminders and make it your mantra.
Hope that helps, all who have come here have been in your shoes.

Oh there is no doubt that it's from TMS pain. The only "structural abnormalities" I have are some slight degeneration at the base of my spine (normal according to Sarno) and my hips are a bit off kilter.
I have definitely been reading the 12 daily reminders and have kind of created my own mantra even. I'll check out the stuff in your sig now, thanks. I have indeed been writing in a journal too. |
