I fit the personality profile for TMS exactly. No wonder I’m literally disabled in undiagnosed moderate to severe pain in pelvic and legs now for 4 years.
Just start to address and face the feelings and thoughts you have around the stressors. that you’re willing to look at them instead of focusing on the physical
I got burnt out from work and right after that I got my second Covid infection which hit hard on my lungs and I had to visit the ER due to trouble breathing. My oxygen levels were fine so I got an inhaler and was sent home. I was terrified. This was almost two years ago and I’ve been in and out of the hospital several time due to different symptoms like numbness, pins and needles in my limbs and face, reflux problems, trouble sleeping etc. I easily get sick. I got pain in my lower back, shoulders and jaw. I’ve done about every medical exam known to man and they can’t find anything wrong with me. I’ve come to realize that the constant fear of being sick or that something’s wrong with me are the cause of my problems.
Mine was stress and my mind. Been in pain since I was a teen now it’s debilitating. Mine is in my neck head jaw shoulders. Which makes most task hard to complete. I am teaching myself to stay calm when this happens instead of getting frustrated and angry.
Yes keep relaxing settling your brain and nervous system. Sounds like a pattern since you were young. Express any emotions and relax mentally and physically into pains and tensions take care!
No doubt my so-called herniated disk started in 2001 shortly after the death of my mother. But it flared up again at the time my family doctor died in 2007 and I had a big romantic bust up. This time it followed the Covid lockdown when I was ruminating alone for a long time. Singular traumatic events, but also a long-term pattern of grieving. Seems that real events interact with long-term internalized emotional patterns. So, both.
Yes you are seeing the patterns of emotional expression in a physical way. So common. This seems to be how your body grieves. So let it grieve see if you can get in touch with that emotion more as emotion. We don’t want to stop a grieving process so we don’t really want to stop the pain if it’s grieve. Let it run its course.
@@thepainpt Going on a little too long for my taste! But as you suggest, best to follow the process and let it play itself out. Also, I notice that my latest episode of TMS started when I sold my late mother's house in the Bay Area and moved to Sonora. Always this heavy symbolic stuff that goes under the radar till it manifests as physical pain.
