Hi Everyone,
My pain started after I went for a deep tissue massage last year not knowing what it was all about.To clarify here,I had no back pain before until I went for this massage.I just wanted to go for a generic massage and this came up in the search result.I call it 'The horrific result' of my life.I took the wrong decision to go there.The Masseuse was very aggressive on my back and pressed close to my spine area and also stood on my SI joints. A day later I developed severe back spasm,tightness in my back that would pull my stomach muscles as well from the front,severe inflammation in back and SI joints.In the course of a month,I also developed pain in my neck,both shoulders,wrists,pain that would radiate down to my feet,pain in my right knee and pelvic pain. I became bed ridden ,was unable to walk ,sit or stand for the next 10 months.
My life changed after this event and I couldnt do even the routine tasks without pain.I was engulfed in pain day and night.
After having gone through MRI's ,Xray's and endless visits to orthopedic doctors and neurologists,took steroid injection in both SI joints,tried acupuncture,chiropractic help,physical therapy etc etc I havent found much relief in pain and still struggle with it everyday.
My work stopped,my family life has affected and my emotional state of being has been toppled because of the pain I experience daily.
I came across TMS website and I am reading Dr Sarno's book 'Healing back pain' and it has given me hope.I hope to continue being on this path and learning more from everyone who is here and have had similar experience of pain and have emerged out of it.
Your motivational stories show me light at the end of the tunnel and I thank EVERYONE of you for sharing your experiences here.

Love and Light!
