I would like to ask people here to comment about moving pain.
I have 3 areas of pain at the moment. When one is more intense then I don't seem to feel the other 2. For example
The last 2 days my neck has flared up so I haven't been feeling the burning 'down there' or my knee pain as much.
Then today the burning is dominant & the neck seems a bit better. I can feel the knee but not so much.
Some days the knee will be hurting more.
Is this the same for others or is it different?
Or do most people have 1 pain which goes away completely & is then replaced by another.
Or do some people feel pain in different parts all at the same time?
Oh and one more thing, how many people 'feel' that there pain is worse with weather changes ?
Would appreciate some feedback.
thx

I have had several different kinds of pain in my groin. One is a burning pain in my groin. The other is a sharp, squeezing pain in my upper groin, almost in my lower abdomen. Another is a tingling discomfort in my lower buttock that isn't as painful that I get from standing up for awhile. At one point my whole left leg was tingling and numb, but I haven't felt this in over a month.
Usually none of these pains happen at the same time, but I do experience groin pain and TMJ simultaneously every day. Another interesting thing I have noticed is that if I am feeling anxious, then all of my pain usually goes away.
You’ll fall down, you stumble, you land square on your face. And every time that happens, you get back on your feet. You get up just as fast as you can, no matter how many times you need to do it |

Mala,
Some days my groin hurts, some days my hip hurts, some days my upper back hurts, some days I feel a bit unstable, some days I feel tired. Some days it is only one location, some days it are more locations. Some pains are more dominant and stay around longer than others. It shifts and changes all the time, which I welcome because it convinces me it is TMS.
The weather influences my symptoms. The better the weather, the less symptoms I have. I think it has to do with your general mood.

If I recall correctly anxiety can be a symptom.... so it sounds logical. |

Mala, pain movement worked same for me, absolutely! It was actually one of the ways I knew it was just another TMS symptom. For instance, I would get a low back pain but notice my tension headache was gone. Or, my wrist would hurt and I'd notice my neck stiffness was reduced. Once I realized this, it was kind of comical and I'd laugh at it. I was never a low back pain sufferer, but always had upper back, shoulder, and neck pain as well as tension headaches. Then, when getting up from a chair I suddenly fell to the floor because my low back hurt so bad. I immediately assessed the rest of my body and noticed that my neck, shoulders, upper back, and head all felt GREAT. I started laughing again even though I couldn't get up. It didn't go away immediately, but two days later I was completely back to all of my activities.
As far as weather changes, my belief is that you probably associated them with pain at some point in the past and created a nocebo for yourself (i.e. when the weather is bad I will hurt). Besides the visual realization of weather changes (i.e. see clouds, etc), your body can feel barometric changes. I'm sure your unconscious mind can anticipate the weather change, up the ante on the pain, and reinforce the false belief that weather is the cause and thereby continue the distraction from what the real cause is. |

Hi Mala! I used to get 2 main areas, neck and lower back/sciatica. Don't think I had both the same time. I recently posted about arm weakness/atrophy, and I had this the last few days.
I don't usually seek treatment, but I went for tui na deep tissue massage , now I have big purple bruises all over. The arm is a little better. She did break up a lump on my foot from running. It was so painful, that I don't think I could recommend it to anyone. One interesting thing, she talked to me for 2 hours about all the injuries I have (mostly from sports) and when she worked on me, I did kind of re-live the injuries. I wondered after if the event is stored in the body, as Candace Pert said: "the body is the subconscious mind". |

Hi guys, thx for the comments. I think that when one area hurts we tend to tense up other areas without knowing & so the next day we feel it in that area & then we tense up another area & so on. Also have you noticed that a loud sound or stubbing your toe can temporarily halt the pain & then your mind goes back to the old pain & it starts again. It all to do with the workings of the Central nervous system.
Al, I know all too well about Tuina, its done all over HK. Very painful & can be quite effective. My take is that you should do whatever it takes to get relief . The longer you have pain, the longer it stays & the longer it takes to go away.
I feel that just becoz one has TMS one should mot stop treatments that promote a sense of well being. Pain needs to be dealt with soon. Anything that can reduce pain quickly is good for body & good for the mind. It actually makes it easy for people to think in a positive way when they are hurting less. It makes them less fearful. It also brings about a sensory change in the area which is good.
People often forget the Body in the treatment of mind body ailments.
Just my thoughts
