    It is normal. Don't be swayed by it - or even worse - scared by it. Your brain is disoriented by disappearance of usual stimulus (pain). When my hands go numb and tingly, I keep telling my brain that we are safe, that I am grateful for the pain and tension to go away. Sooner or later numbness and tingling subsides. Keep doing what you have been doing. Good luck!

    Where was the pain originally? My pain also tends to move around the body and doesn't stay in one area. It means that the brain hasn't abandoned TMS as a survival strategy, it is merely choosing another location in the body.
