Hello, I'm a professional cellist age 29. I feel confused about if RSI and TOS and impingements can actually happen from overuse? Or is it always TMS? Surely it makes sense one can get injured if you have to play cello for hours every day? I have been pretty much off work for 6 months due to...

In this long video interview (below) Dr. Paul Hansma shares a detailed personal story of overcoming 5 years of chronic shoulder pain and 15 years of osteoarthritis symptoms through mind-body understanding, which I've summarised... How it started His pain began with a gardening overuse injury...

https://www.tomoliver.net/posts/tms (This can't be real, can it?) I wrote this article on my blog describing how I got over my TMS caused RSI / hand pain. It contains a few ups and downs and hopefully conveys how emotional the journey has been for me. As I explained in the article, reading the...

I have to tell this AMAZING thing that just happened to me! After more than a year, my claw-like, locked up hands just OPENED! I can freely wiggle my fingers. I can also open my hands flat for the first time in over a year. And I can open and close my hands, which I couldn’t do very well -or at...

Hi there, I'm a 26 year old female and I've had chronic pain issues for the last seven years, starting in my knees and at this point, over the years, I’ve had pain in at least 12 different parts of my body that I can easily remember. The biggest issue at the moment is my wrist pain which has...

What does it take to get rid of TMS? A lot. Time. Changes in habits. Changes in attitudes. More time. MENTAL BATTLE! Battling day in and day out against a little voice that says you’ll never have a life again. Picking yourself up when things feel hopeless and pushing yourself to do one small...

I struggled with chronic hand/wrist neuro pain for 1.5 years. I posted my story here - Sharp pain in my wrist after playing excessive guitar one evening. - Opening doors, picking up the lightest items, washing my hair, was painful. - I eventually had symptoms of muscle tightness, burning...

Hi all, Hope you are well! It has been a while! As a quick summary, around 6 years ago I developed Carpal Tunnel/RSI in my right wrist from playing far too many PC games with admittedly shocking ergonomics. I went to the doctor after pushing through the pain (at this point it burnt quite...

For Dutch people :-) Ik heb er eindelijk de tijd voor gevonden om op YouTube te delen hoe ik herstelde van rugpijn en RSI. Jaren terug heeft een soortgelijk succesverhaal me enorm geholpen, ik geef het graag door!

Hi all, I've made a number of posts here in the past few years regarding hand pain - unfortunately it is nearly 3 years now that I've had these issues. For the past year or so I've tried to ignore the pain by carrying out my normal activities (work, gaming, driving, etc.) but it has now become...

Here is the most amazing vindication of Dr. Sarno's observation of TMS epidemics. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/10/carpal-tunnel-syndrome-prevalence/675803/?utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share (Whatever Happened to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?) No...

Hi there! A few years ago I healed my knee tendonitis and plantar fasciitis successfully following the tms approach, I got a few other ailments after that that went away as well, but a few weeks ago I developed a new pain that I can't seem to get rid of: I got a 1 year old child which likes to...

About 7 weeks ago, probably a week or two after I started working at my new job as a software developer, I started noticing that the inside of my right knee started hurting about a week into working. I thought this may have been related to me playing soccer one of those afternoons, so I ignored...

Hi, My story starts 10 years when I was 19 years old. I was a junior in college studying computer science. I just landed my first internship and I was ready to give it my all and excel at my internship. I didn't just want to be average, I wanted to be one of the best programmers in the world. I...

Hi, I posted here a while ago about these problems, I had the covid vaccine in 2021 unfortunately got pericarditis, luckily it was mild and went away quickly with no lasting problems but I was in and out of different hospitals because of the pain for months. It traumatized me, I already have a...

Hi all, Apologies in advance for the length. I have occasionally frequented this forum, particularly when I was at my worst. I don't know if this forum is nearly as active as it used to be some years ago, but figured I'd post here anyway just for others like myself who might sift through this...

Hey guys, figured since I’d posted before about my wrist/hand/forearm pain, that I’d come back an update on my TMS journey. So for what must have been around 4 months, I had pretty much constant RSI pain. One weekend, I literally just decided I’d had enough, the pain didn’t make enough sense...

I'm happy to be posting this thread, as my second ever thread created on this forum. My first thread covered my story before I fully committed to TMS. To avoid repeating myself, here is that thread https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/new-to-tms-trying-to-work-out-if-my-rsi-is-tms.26114/ (New...

I’m a software engineer living in London. From Dec 2020 to Dec 2021 I had horrible chronic pain in my hands. I was terrified and scared and had some really bad lows. I was very lucky to have a supportive job, friends, family and partner I'm SO grateful for them. But here is how I cured it. I...
