    Does TMS healing of one symptom suggest that other symptoms are also TMS?

    Hi again, In my last posts I depicted my story, including the various symptoms I have since about a year: RSI of my right hand, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, anxiety (and particularly health anxiety), mood swings, upper back pain, chest, and shoulders pain and especially tightness of...

    RSI gone for the most part but dry eyes are here?

    Hey all, for the most part, my joint pains have disappeared but now my eyes are really causing me to be anxious. They are dry, itchy, gritty, and everything else associated with the common dry eyes (besides redness). I also now seem to have a lack of eye mucus and the little I have appear...

    Discouraged, and afraid.

    I’lol try and keep this short, I posted a little over a week ago about some issues with my thumb. Well I’ve returned to doing what I love which is streaming and it involved my thumb. I’ve been having thumb pain again for weeks and it hurts every morning and throughout the day. I have pain in my...

    My complete recovery from RSI, or, how I learned to stop worrying and love my hands

    So my story begins in 2012, when I was in the last few months of my PhD. My studies were not going well, and I'd just had a year of sh*t piled on me (Mum got diagnosed with a terminal illness, my long term partner and I broke up, and I had a cancer scare and had to have surgery). So I was, to...

    Carpal Tunnel TMS doubts

    Been going through RSI for a year. One doc diagnosed as carpal tunnel... Other doc says possibility it isn't. Been doing PT, rolfing, stretches, acupuncture, self trigger point massage and I'm a little better but still having symptoms. It's a roller coaster. I think I'm getting better but then...

    trying to determine whether or not chronic and mysterious RSI problems are TMS?

    Hello, I have had chronic and mysterious repetitive stress injuries for more than four years from computer usage and similar fine motor activity. The primary injury is in my hands. I have seen many doctors for the problem, and they have ruled out a large range of physical disorders, but they...

    Hand and arm pain strategies ("rsi")

    Hi, everyone. I've had RSI (or TMS, rather) in my hands and arms for 3 years now, and I've had the same depressing struggles like everyone else, which I'm not going to get into, but it's been quite a ride.

    I'm not sure what to believe

    I've had pain in my wrists for almost 7 years now. When it first started, I wasn't massively surprised - I was a kid playing PC games for something ridiculous like 10 hours a day, without many breaks, pretty much every day. I think I first noticed it when I was playing some new Call of Duty...

    Full RSI Recovery - a story typed from a laptop on the couch

    So excited to be sharing my RSI success story! I have been a heavy laptop user my whole life, with atrocious, basically non-existent ergonomics. Part of me always expected that I would end up with computer-related aches and pains (as my mom is full of these kinds of ailments). So it wasn't...

    Musician with arm pain and/or RSI

    My name is Gilbert (27) and I am musician, cellist. For 3 years I have problems in both arms, especially in my right arm. This pain came when I started my master and it's focused in the forearm, near the elbow but not at the articulation itself. After any activity, not just with my cello (also...

    Is RSI always TMS? Using TMS as Excuse to Be Lazy with Ergonomics

    Hi there --- does everyone here feel that RSI is always purely TMS? And nothing else? When I first started getting RSI in my right hand and forearm about a year and a half ago (I've been a very heavy non-ergonomic laptop user for most of my life, and pain seems to be from mousing and scrolling...
