Sarno Soldier,
I pasted the below address for a TMS doctor in New Jersey where you said you lived in your archived posts. The link to the tarpityoga site didn't work because of the period at the end. If you drop the period it should work and give you the list of TMS doctors and therapists. I think New Jersey is not that big of a state so he shouldn't be that far away from you wherever you live. I traveled from SF to LA to see a TMS doctor and many others have traveled longer distances. I have also consulted with a TMS psycho-therapist by phone. If you really want to get well you will do whatever it takes to do so. Good luck.

| Interesting comment from Dr. Gwozdz' web site: "Just be careful not to try to cure yourself for too long a period of time before seeing a TMS doctor. On TMShelp.com, I have seen people with TMS get very frustrated because they tried to cure themselves by just reading a book when a little redirection from a TMS doctor would probably have made a big difference." |

Hi Fredarm57,
Good job! You found the quote I recall from Dr. Gwozdz's web site that struck my attention also. I have seen two TMS doctors who both told me my hip was arthritis and NOT TMS. I am leaving myself open to the possibility of needing to do something surgically in the future but am in no hurry. My situataion started with a big relationship breakup that exposed itself in the TMS physical symptom of a painful back. It was diagnosed by a quack-o-practor as a pinched nerve at L4/L5, (he also saw my left testicle in the x-ray and thought it was a tumor). Subsequently, I have been told by others that my back looked very GOOD on x-rays.
I speculate that my TMS back may have caused a "compensatory gait" change that has resulted in my hip issues, which appear as significant arthritis in x-rays and MRI's. I have a noticeable limp and am a step slow for competitive tennis purposes. My mantra is, "I've never had an injury I haven't been able to fix", so I keep playing through it. I'm off to a national tournament in Boise, Idaho. I have little hope of being competitve, but look forward to participating and a change of scenery. The worst that can happen is that I wear my hip down some more and there will be less for the surgeons to remove. I will continue approaching it from a TMS perspective, work on improving my footwork, losing some weight, until bone on bone. Although two TMS doctors have told me what I have is NOT TMS, I have played tennis with too many doctors to always believe their line calls. |

James (Sarno soldier), I just tuned into your condition. Pretty much a local boy in “Jersey”(south that is.)
I have a lot to share with you if your interested, been doin the Tms stuff for a while now, pretty much got a good grip over it. I have a wife and 3 children, with many stories to tell ,been through the ruff, but have come through.
So I would be willing to share with you how I broke my TMS pain cycle after 22 years of chronic pain.
I do have a lot on my plate, but not too much to help a brother in need.
So you will have to give me your email and if you are interested I will call you in the eve one night.
Hope you understand I do not have the time nor the ability to type large amounts info to cover much material via e-mail.
Take care
Kenny V
Always Hope For Recovery
