I really appreciate all the time that everyone has put into helping me. I now have a better grasp of things. This morning I read a journal entry that I made the day before the pain started. I commented how stressed at work I was feeling, and how much I just wanted the stress to end. For about a month before the pain, I had a strong gut feeling that something "bad" was going to happen if I didn't stop the pace I was going at. Since I am relatively young, I ignored the feeling. Since then, I have someone working in my place, and fortunately I still have money to pay the bills. There still is work for me to do, but not nearly the amount that I was doing before the pain started.
I have decided that come Wednesday, I am going to work as if I never had the pain. I figure a week will be a sufficient amount of time to see if it is really TMS. I understand there is a short period when your body revs up the pain. If after a week the pain is still worse, maybe I am one of the exceptions to the rule and there really is something physically wrong.... Or does it sometimes takes longer than a week for our pain to start to get better?
By the way, I checked into Steve O's book-good stuff. Thanks for everything.
its the bottled up emotions-the re-actions we think about
and the reactions we do-you have the answers-
do everything steve says-and sarno says
and ace1 says-you have the tools
but just waiting will not heal you
you have some tms work to do |

I don't know if this will help you JA1928 but I too am struggling with "tennis elbow" & "golfers elbow". It's been hanging around for quite some time but I only have one bit of advice for you; keep on working it out. Don't stop moving your elbow. I know it's hard but you have to overcome your fear of pain. I've been pounding the hell out of it for over 6 months now & you know what? It hasn't gotten any worse. I'm lifting heavy weights in the gym & about 90% of the time, I can't even feel the pain. Once I stop lifting, the pain comes back (conditioning).
I hope this helps.
Keep the faith. |

Yep, USE IT OR LOSE IT! Docs only see you once a year or less, or never again, in new age assembly line medicine, helped along by a radiology report from India. They feel they have to put the fear of G-d into you like they're your mother and it's your first day riding alone on the school bus.
JA, don't count the days to recovery, there's a TMS name for that "CALLENDARING EFFECT", "HEALING COMES GRADUALLY, VERY GRADUALLY..." SteveO. Sleep on it. |
