    Bye-Bye knee pain, hello old painfree me!

    Hi! I usually never post stuff on the Internet, but as this wiki played such an important role in my own recovery, I feel like I should tell my story here. Maybe there is a person out there who needs to hear exactly what I have to talk about, and if it helps just one person, it’s worth doing...

    How to find the root cause/trigger of your pain when it's there all the time?

    Hello TMSWiki, I discovered TMS/Sarno just about a year ago and unfortunately am not seeing any pain relief so far.

    Latest TMS Understanding of Knee "Meniscus" Pain

    Can someone please tell me the latest thinking on whether "Torn Meniscus" knee pain is TMS? It has all the hallmarks of TMS: doctors don't really know the mechanism by which "torn"meniscuses cause pain; meniscus surgery doesn't beat placebo and "torn" meniscus frequently resolves itself...

    Knee pain after tripping- overreacting?

    Hi supporters! I don’t know how much background to give, except that one of these days I’ll post some success stories on here. I’ve seen TMS do some crazy things in my life, and it never ceases to amaze me. Just this week, i had an MRI to rule out some crazy neuro symptoms I had been having for...
