God bless you!! Been dealing with sciatica and buldging disc and I had an mri that showed my buldge is not touching any nerves yet I’m having nerve symptoms!!! I’m 30 years old with anxiety and have battled depression. You have helped me more than any doctor. I can’t wait to practice your approach and get to feeling better. Thank you so much
The stretches and movement and yoga I like because it’s relaxing. It’s a way to deal with stress in my life. This thought process allows me to create new neural pathways around movement.
If TMS you mean Too Much Stress - much of our chronic health issues are stress induced. Stress changes the body in many ways and can result in many types of symptoms.
I just came across your channel. TH-cam algorithm suggested your video. You make the most sense out of all the stuff I've looked up. I was working 3 jobs, being a dad to 3 young kids and covid made my wife loose her job. I took a sudafed PE and caused a panic attack for 3 hours. After that, aches and pains started happening all over my body talked to my primary doctor and was diagnosed with anxiety. She said anxiety causes physical pain to me and the pain causes anxiety. So it's a revolving door of misery. I've seen a cardiologist, neurologist, gastroenterologist, obstetrician, and therapist. I've had a few things that physical therapy has helped but the chronic pain that comes and goes all around my body. With no apparent reason. Thank you very much. I didn't know TMS was a thing, was never mentioned by my care team. I have a game plan now after struggling for 6 months. But I'm sure I've had symptoms a lot longer, the mental switch just was not turned on back then.
Unfortunately, this stuff is not taught in medical school. I believe you are on the right path. If you'd like a summary of my suggestions to end the pain, it's in this video here: th-cam.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/w-d-xo.html
I feel compelled to suggest that you try a energy cord removal meditation. Not a cord cutting, a cord removal!!! There are a few on You Tube. I created my own meditation, calling on the pure white light of my Creator and St. Michael to assist. During this lying down meditation my left shoulder popped loudly on its own while I was in my meditation. I am glad to explain more if you would like and I truly believe that this could help you.
Why do we see some people who seem like their life is turned upside down who drink, smoke, do drugs, eat unhealthy, have obvious emotional pain they are covering up, yet they dont manifest these types of symptoms? How come they are able to get to work and do exercise etc? I eat healthy, drink enough water, get enough sleep, am completely sober, I try to get some form of low impact physical movement, take vitamins and supplements and have been in therapy for 4 years and still experience challenging symptoms. They keep moving around in like 2month-1 year increments. Im glad for what I am learning along the process, but it doesnt seem fair or logical.
Nothing about life and health is "fair" or logical. TMS is driven by perceived danger. Many of the folks you describe just don't care. There is no fear. They eat, drink, do drugs and are not worried about anything. Those of us that have fear are often the ones with TMS. Our upbringing also has a lot to do with it. The good news is that we can get well and teach our brain safety. But it's not about perfect nutrition and exercise. It's about teaching the brain we are safe.
@@PainFreeYou I appreciate your reply. Thank you. I think its natural we all get frustrated along the way sometimes. I will keep doing my best each day and focus on the process rather than the results. I've seen gains and will continue to see gains.

A good diet is good because the body needs decent nutrients. However, I've seen so many people try to use diets to fix their pain and it didn't work. Why? Because a poor diet may not have been the cause of the pain in the first place. This thing called TMS is real and is the cause of a vast majority of chronic pain.
Hi Dan. Fantastic video, thank you. I believe that TMS could well be causing my chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) / Prostatitis... I have no signs of anything physically wrong at all. After multiple scans MRI and CT scans, no infections found, physiotherapy etc. I'm told that it could be caused by stress. I get tender and painful muscles in my buttocks and hamstrings and urinary type pain and pain in my prostate area/pelvic floor as well. Sometimes pain in my calf muscles and arms too. Have you ever known anyone with Prostatitis/ Pelvic pain symptoms caused by TMS? Thank you for your time.
These symptoms are very common to TMS. To know for sure, take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest. Any score over 29 is TMS and you CAN eliminate the symptoms.

I am 20 years old.I have symptoms like Frequent urination, I can’t get full erections like I feel pleasure there but when it’s about to get erect it goes down unless I stimulate it with my hands. When I ejaculate a few comes out even I haven’t done that for 3 days and I used to ejaculate too much. I have pain in urethra like pressure. I have constipation too. I got a test for UTI a week later after symptoms showed up and negative no infection. Before my symptoms showed I experienced a moment of happiness then It turned to sadness, because the girl I was in love with talked to me and I felt happy but I remember what she did in the past and it made me get sad and cold and have chills. The next days after that my symptoms appear.
Hey Dan! I came across the subject today and did some research. I have a question...Often TmS is desribed in manifesting as mainly back/shoulder pain.

Did you ever heard about people with similar diagnosis finding relief through TMS Praxis? An advice would be nice :) Sorry for any english mistakes...;) Greetings from Berlin🌞Kirstin
TMS can include virtually any type of symptom or pain anywhere in the body. The perception of danger is what causes pain. Fear and attention keep it persistent. Take a deep dive into this work.

Thnx for this dan, i have had history of psychological stuff and had back pain started after withdrawal from meds as i was living in extreme stress, it moved to neck and then shoulder A year ago I started to have chest pain which they found out is from reflux I changed my diet and it got better but then it came back with such intensity that crushing chest pains everyday from which i got scared even on meds, what approach could be helpful while eating or in general towards this
Hi Dan I recently learnt about TMS and I think I’m going through it. Most of what you explained about TMS it made sense on what I was going through. Whenever I think about the symptom, the feeling I am feeling physically I am feeling it. Im distracted from everything else including my emotions right now as I am writing this I’m in pain (it’s going back and fourth since I’m focusing writing this) I also notice when I’m happy (around family, friends etc.) I don’t feel it. I am a overthinker and stress out a lot. This pain came about a few days before school began so I was stressing about it a lot. I also try to repress my emotions a lot, I don’t like dumping/venting out all my trauma onto someone so I keep it inside, I hate feeling sadness so I try to ignore all my emotions Do you believe this could be TMS? Thank you
Yes, the "when I'm happy around family, friends, I don't feel it is a classic proof of TMS. So, YES - your brain is creating this pain. That means the brain can eliminate it. Perceived Danger explains it all: th-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/w-d-xo.html Recovery from Fear is the way forward: th-cam.com/video/VSmTe8zPXh0/w-d-xo.html
I believe that as long as it helps or heals then we do not have to worry about the labels because there is a large gray area and so much we are yet to discover. Maybe some people have a little bit of TMS and a little bit of injury related issues but they are both playing off one another. I believe this is what I have. My 20+ year old injury, has, I believe, emotional trauma locked into my cell memory and is manifesting in a TMS kind of way. We can make up our own labels if we so choose, the main goal is to get rid of the discomfort. I love the TMS CONCEPT and learning about it has helped me but it is very similar to psycho somatic pain, which predates the idea. Love your video!!!! Nice conversational tone and warm demeanor. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF ANYONE IS AWARE OF A SUMMARY OF DR. Sarno's book on TMS.
Thank you for your kind comments. I have a video explaining my concepts on TMS. I call it Perceived Danger Pain. th-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/w-d-xo.html Hope you enjoy it.
I also have to ask-once we believe we are safe, do we carefully reintroduce old habits, or resume to life completely? I have such a restricted life now that I eat the same few things every day, walk in a lot of the same places, don't work, don't drive, don't see anybody, don't go anywhere in public, can't visit my parents 1000 miles away, etc. And I fear that certain foods could set me back because of things people have told me about benzo withdrawal (which I have been in, or perhaps "believed" I am still in). It seems very painfully slow to try to reintroduce every little thing, but I also worry about the idea of setbacks from taking on too much. Wondering how careful I should be with something like this? Thank you, Dan.
Getting back to life can be done gradually or a bit quicker. Fear determines how fast you go. Why? Because it's ALL founded on fear. This video explains Perceived Danger: th-cam.com/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/w-d-xo.html This video maps out the recovery: th-cam.com/video/VSmTe8zPXh0/w-d-xo.html This video shows many ways of teaching safety: th-cam.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/w-d-xo.html And this video shows a way to resume activities. It also applies to foods: th-cam.com/video/mRowJmW4uk0/w-d-xo.html
Extremely helpful. Saving my life, man. Thank you so much. I haven't seen anybody or done anything at all in over 500 days, and have felt suffocated and unable to breath every minute of it. I think I've found my way out.
I experienced a work injury 1.5 years ago and since then I've been in mild pain about 30% of the day it also shifts around low back and hips. Mri revealed i have a herniation at L5S1. Does it sound like a tms case?
The best way to determine if YOUR situation is TMS is to go through the links and recommendations in the description of this or any of my videos. Once you know it's TMS - you can proceed and get well.
Those are medical labels given incorrectly to people with TMS/Perceived Danger Pain. Watch my fast start playlist for a deep dive into what's going on and what to do about it: th-cam.com/play/PLRJmnkn2kTTIl4frNvmpenr49xcTmVl2H.html
Hello Dan. I've been mostly stuck in the house for about 600 days except for going around my neighborhood due to terrible air hunger from what I thought was "benzo withdrawal" because they say it lasts so long. I have gotten better about believing it is TMS and starting to push myself and noticing a crazy change in my mindset from not believing I'm helpless. However, once I've started to believe it is TMS, I still question the aspect about my nervous system being sensitive. Do we ACTUALLY react to certain activities or foods with an overly sensitive CNS, or is it all just our fear telling us "Well, your symptoms are worse and you ate tomatoes last night, so it must be that"? Even knowing I can do THAT makes me feel I need to be careful with what I do, because I know that once I exit a more positive mindset, I do end up questioning every new thing I did. So it makes it difficult to go back to living life, which makes me feel trapped, which makes me feel worse symptoms. Is there really anything I need to avoid with TMS? The trouble is they say with benzo withdrawal to avoid all kinds of things. And I know that you talk about physical damage to the body, but could there be damage in my brain then? Thank you so much Dan. You have been really saving my life. I cannot thank you enough.
If benzo's damaged brains, why can some people taper off of them without problems but others, believe they have been damaged for years? I'm not convinced it's the meds. It could be the expectation that the withdrawal process is hard, wrought with side effects and can leave us desperate for years. Basically - perceived danger. The brain is the control center for the nervous system. So if the CNS is highly sensitive it's because the brain is in a state of constant alert. Teaching the brain we are safe is the way forward.

@@PainFreeYou Thank you very much, Dan. I suppose I worry that they'd downregulate GABA and cause a perpetual state of fight or flight, which would then perpetuate TMS symptoms. But I think that can't be true either because it seems I'd be 100% unable to relax at all if my GABA were that messed up. I'm not sure...
@@jakelemons7645 You can't think your way out of this. Trust your body. It knows what to do. It's natural state is health and healing. There is literally no downside by setting aside your fears and analysis and focus on teaching your brain that you are safe. What's the downside in that? th-cam.com/video/g5xWR6eBlb8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Dan! So should I still be careful with introducing activities because I can assume the TMS will freak out and it will take even longer to settle down? Do I just go fully into things?
@@jakelemons7645 No, jumping full into all activities may cause your subconscious to react by turning up the volume. This 6 steps to resuming activity can help. th-cam.com/video/mRowJmW4uk0/w-d-xo.html
Depends. Car accident? Fall? What physical trauma? How long ago did this happen. Remember, the body heals. If pain is still around more than 6-8 weeks after this "physical trauma", something else is going on. (TMS) If you haven't watched my explainer video, it's at: PainFreeYou.com
@@PainFreeYounot even talking about the neurological processes that make pain chronic, but just the simple assumption that the body can repair anything in 2 months is not making any sense at all!
Dan, for all the people who are asking, is this TMS or is that TMS, they can just read Steve Ozanich’s book you’re get all the answers. That book is my second Bible.
Very true - it's a great book and answers many questions. At the same time, doing self assessments are more personal and ask questions about pain history, what was going on at the time the pain or symptoms started, how the pain behaves during times of stress and leisure, etc. I agree with Schubiner. Rule out the life threatening, then rule in TMS. But great point about Steve O's book. It is a great resource.
Can this play a role in heart disease? I had one risk factor, but a whole bunch of stress. I am trying to change my response to stress. There is weird things about the plugged arteries. The doctors are trying to use the medicines to take down inflammation more and less surgery unless there is actual heart attack.
Stress influences a number of things. I'm no doctor so I cannot advise regarding heart disease. However, this lady Kelly McGonigal has an awesome presentation about stress and making it your best friend. th-cam.com/video/RcGyVTAoXEU/w-d-xo.html
Have you heard of somebody having "air hunger" from this? Ever since I've withdrawn from benzos I have had it 24/7 for over 500 days! I cold turkeyed, then tried to taper, then when I got off the pill it got even worse. Then got covid and it got EVEN worse. I am starting to strongly believe it is TMS based off of your videos, but you say that TMS kind of transforms more? I am never without this air hunger. If you have, have you heard of them being cured from it?
I have been hearing of this "air hunger" more and more lately. I'm not sure it's anything new. People have complained about "shortness of breath" for a long while. If your lungs check out fine and your o2 readings are fine, you are getting plenty of oxygen. It's a sensation. Fear/Perceived danger creates tension. Tension in the chest and abdomen can cause shallow breathing and may be perceived as air hunger. At the end of the day - Yes, I do believe you can be cured. If the brain can create it, the brain can reverse it with proper information. This video on Fear explains a lot: th-cam.com/video/VSmTe8zPXh0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much, Dan. I can often feel it even in the absence of tightness in my chest, but I feel plenty of sick sensations that make me want to gasp for air. I believe that it is a reaction to extreme stress, and the devastation of believing that I'll be trapped feeling like this for an unknown amount of time. I have found your videos very helpful lately, and I had been so hopeless and miserable. I have come to some shocking realizations lately about my condition, and I am really thinking it is true that I'm not damaged in the way that I thought. Again, thank you so much for doing this.
@@jakelemons7645 You are quite welcome. The key point is that Fear/Perceived danger is creating and often amplifying normal sensations. There is no damage.
@@PainFreeYou That is what I just started to realize may be the case, and realizing it had an incredible impact on my perspective. So to get it go away, I basically just need to try to disregard it as much as possible, use no sorts of coping mechanisms, decrease fear, increase activities in life that I have stopped due to my symptoms, and resolve emotional trauma related to the symptoms? Any other quick tips to add to that? Now that I have made the realization, I just want to make sure I am going in the right direction and can heal myself.

two years ago all this "started as a non bacterial prostatis" that i "Healt " by not thinking on it after almost two years of frequem urination and pain (my tms just found another way to botherme anyway) by that time i wasnt aware of all this. anyway only when i was in Hapkido classes all the symptoms when await, any doctor could explianme way besides the "distraction factor" ´and actually thats was a lie. I was thinking in that all 24/7 cuase i wanted to pee every 24/7. Makes sences, i exerciced the pelvid floor mussles in those classes, their relaxed and freeme from symptoms. If any guy suffer from that shit, should read this coment.
I am a 20 year old male. In May 20th I began to have Frequent Urination, a feeling of pressure in my Urethra. When I urinate the stream of urine changes directions like it goes straight then it moves to the side. When I am done urinating it dribbles and it gets my undergarments a little wet. I did not masturbate for 3 days then When I did, my ejaculation was weak and I did not have that feeling I used to before. It’s like my semen just went back where it came from. I also can’t get an erection without stimulation, I used to get them without having to touch myself. I also have constipation and sometimes Loose stools.Before all these symptoms happened I had a moment of Happiness and Sadness. Because the girl who I used to love that left me for another man, talked to me again after months. But when I was happy I began to feel so sad and start to get chills and my body was like cold but at the same time like warm like if I had fever.
According to google, In orthopedic medicine and sports medicine, crepitus describes a popping, clicking or crackling sound in a joint. Joint popping sounds - what some may call bone cracking - may mean that air is moving in the joint, which is usually harmless.

Im distracted from everything else including my emotions right now as I am writing this I’m in pain (it’s going back and fourth since I’m focusing writing this) I also notice when I’m happy (around family, friends etc.) I don’t feel it.
I am a overthinker and stress out a lot. This pain came about a few days before school began so I was stressing about it a lot. I also try to repress my emotions a lot, I don’t like dumping/venting out all my trauma onto someone so I keep it inside, I hate feeling sadness so I try to ignore all my emotions
Do you believe this could be TMS? Thank you
Yes, the "when I'm happy around family, friends, I don't feel it is a classic proof of TMS. So, YES - your brain is creating this pain. That means the brain can eliminate it.

I believe that as long as it helps or heals then we do not have to worry about the labels because there is a large gray area and so much we are yet to discover. Maybe some people have a little bit of TMS and a little bit of injury related issues but they are both playing off one another. I believe this is what I have. My 20+ year old injury, has, I believe, emotional trauma locked into my cell memory and is manifesting in a TMS kind of way.
We can make up our own labels if we so choose, the main goal is to get rid of the discomfort. I love the TMS CONCEPT and learning about it has helped me but it is very similar to psycho somatic pain, which predates the idea. Love your video!!!! Nice conversational tone and warm demeanor.
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF ANYONE IS AWARE OF A SUMMARY OF DR. Sarno's book on TMS.
Thank you for your kind comments. I have a video explaining my concepts on TMS. I call it Perceived Danger Pain.

Hope you enjoy it.
I also have to ask-once we believe we are safe, do we carefully reintroduce old habits, or resume to life completely?
I have such a restricted life now that I eat the same few things every day, walk in a lot of the same places, don't work, don't drive, don't see anybody, don't go anywhere in public, can't visit my parents 1000 miles away, etc. And I fear that certain foods could set me back because of things people have told me about benzo withdrawal (which I have been in, or perhaps "believed" I am still in).
It seems very painfully slow to try to reintroduce every little thing, but I also worry about the idea of setbacks from taking on too much. Wondering how careful I should be with something like this?
Thank you, Dan.
Getting back to life can be done gradually or a bit quicker. Fear determines how fast you go. Why? Because it's ALL founded on fear.

Extremely helpful. Saving my life, man. Thank you so much. I haven't seen anybody or done anything at all in over 500 days, and have felt suffocated and unable to breath every minute of it. I think I've found my way out.
I experienced a work injury 1.5 years ago and since then I've been in mild pain about 30% of the day it also shifts around low back and hips. Mri revealed i have a herniation at L5S1. Does it sound like a tms case?
The best way to determine if YOUR situation is TMS is to go through the links and recommendations in the description of this or any of my videos. Once you know it's TMS - you can proceed and get well.
Is having heavy chest for 2 months is TMS?
Is crps/rsd a form of tms?
Those are medical labels given incorrectly to people with TMS/Perceived Danger Pain.

Hello Dan. I've been mostly stuck in the house for about 600 days except for going around my neighborhood due to terrible air hunger from what I thought was "benzo withdrawal" because they say it lasts so long. I have gotten better about believing it is TMS and starting to push myself and noticing a crazy change in my mindset from not believing I'm helpless.
However, once I've started to believe it is TMS, I still question the aspect about my nervous system being sensitive. Do we ACTUALLY react to certain activities or foods with an overly sensitive CNS, or is it all just our fear telling us "Well, your symptoms are worse and you ate tomatoes last night, so it must be that"?
Even knowing I can do THAT makes me feel I need to be careful with what I do, because I know that once I exit a more positive mindset, I do end up questioning every new thing I did. So it makes it difficult to go back to living life, which makes me feel trapped, which makes me feel worse symptoms. Is there really anything I need to avoid with TMS?
The trouble is they say with benzo withdrawal to avoid all kinds of things. And I know that you talk about physical damage to the body, but could there be damage in my brain then?
Thank you so much Dan. You have been really saving my life. I cannot thank you enough.
If benzo's damaged brains, why can some people taper off of them without problems but others, believe they have been damaged for years? I'm not convinced it's the meds. It could be the expectation that the withdrawal process is hard, wrought with side effects and can leave us desperate for years. Basically - perceived danger.
The brain is the control center for the nervous system. So if the CNS is highly sensitive it's because the brain is in a state of constant alert. Teaching the brain we are safe is the way forward.

@@PainFreeYou Thank you very much, Dan. I suppose I worry that they'd downregulate GABA and cause a perpetual state of fight or flight, which would then perpetuate TMS symptoms. But I think that can't be true either because it seems I'd be 100% unable to relax at all if my GABA were that messed up. I'm not sure...
@@jakelemons7645 You can't think your way out of this. Trust your body. It knows what to do. It's natural state is health and healing. There is literally no downside by setting aside your fears and analysis and focus on teaching your brain that you are safe. What's the downside in that?
th-cam.com/video/g5xWR6eBlb8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Dan! So should I still be careful with introducing activities because I can assume the TMS will freak out and it will take even longer to settle down? Do I just go fully into things?
@@jakelemons7645 No, jumping full into all activities may cause your subconscious to react by turning up the volume. This 6 steps to resuming activity can help. th-cam.com/video/mRowJmW4uk0/w-d-xo.html
hey man, what if i had a physical trauma occuring around the same time of an emotional event.
Depends. Car accident? Fall? What physical trauma? How long ago did this happen. Remember, the body heals. If pain is still around more than 6-8 weeks after this "physical trauma", something else is going on. (TMS) If you haven't watched my explainer video, it's at: PainFreeYou.com
@@PainFreeYounot even talking about the neurological processes that make pain chronic, but just the simple assumption that the body can repair anything in 2 months is not making any sense at all!
Dan, for all the people who are asking, is this TMS or is that TMS, they can just read Steve Ozanich’s book you’re get all the answers. That book is my second Bible.
Very true - it's a great book and answers many questions. At the same time, doing self assessments are more personal and ask questions about pain history, what was going on at the time the pain or symptoms started, how the pain behaves during times of stress and leisure, etc. I agree with Schubiner. Rule out the life threatening, then rule in TMS. But great point about Steve O's book. It is a great resource.
Good explanation ♥️
Glad you liked it
Can this play a role in heart disease? I had one risk factor, but a whole bunch of stress. I am trying to change my response to stress. There is weird things about the plugged arteries. The doctors are trying to use the medicines to take down inflammation more and less surgery unless there is actual heart attack.
Stress influences a number of things. I'm no doctor so I cannot advise regarding heart disease. However, this lady Kelly McGonigal has an awesome presentation about stress and making it your best friend.

Have you heard of somebody having "air hunger" from this? Ever since I've withdrawn from benzos I have had it 24/7 for over 500 days! I cold turkeyed, then tried to taper, then when I got off the pill it got even worse. Then got covid and it got EVEN worse. I am starting to strongly believe it is TMS based off of your videos, but you say that TMS kind of transforms more? I am never without this air hunger.
If you have, have you heard of them being cured from it?
I have been hearing of this "air hunger" more and more lately. I'm not sure it's anything new. People have complained about "shortness of breath" for a long while. If your lungs check out fine and your o2 readings are fine, you are getting plenty of oxygen. It's a sensation. Fear/Perceived danger creates tension. Tension in the chest and abdomen can cause shallow breathing and may be perceived as air hunger.
At the end of the day - Yes, I do believe you can be cured. If the brain can create it, the brain can reverse it with proper information. This video on Fear explains a lot: th-cam.com/video/VSmTe8zPXh0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much, Dan. I can often feel it even in the absence of tightness in my chest, but I feel plenty of sick sensations that make me want to gasp for air. I believe that it is a reaction to extreme stress, and the devastation of believing that I'll be trapped feeling like this for an unknown amount of time.
I have found your videos very helpful lately, and I had been so hopeless and miserable. I have come to some shocking realizations lately about my condition, and I am really thinking it is true that I'm not damaged in the way that I thought.
Again, thank you so much for doing this.
@@jakelemons7645 You are quite welcome. The key point is that Fear/Perceived danger is creating and often amplifying normal sensations. There is no damage.
@@PainFreeYou That is what I just started to realize may be the case, and realizing it had an incredible impact on my perspective. So to get it go away, I basically just need to try to disregard it as much as possible, use no sorts of coping mechanisms, decrease fear, increase activities in life that I have stopped due to my symptoms, and resolve emotional trauma related to the symptoms? Any other quick tips to add to that? Now that I have made the realization, I just want to make sure I am going in the right direction and can heal myself.

two years ago all this "started as a non bacterial prostatis" that i "Healt " by not thinking on it after almost two years of frequem urination and pain (my tms just found another way to botherme anyway) by that time i wasnt aware of all this. anyway only when i was in Hapkido classes all the symptoms when await, any doctor could explianme way besides the "distraction factor" ´and actually thats was a lie. I was thinking in that all 24/7 cuase i wanted to pee every 24/7. Makes sences, i exerciced the pelvid floor mussles in those classes, their relaxed and freeme from symptoms. If any guy suffer from that shit, should read this coment.
I am a 20 year old male. In May 20th I began to have Frequent Urination, a feeling of pressure in my Urethra. When I urinate the stream of urine changes directions like it goes straight then it moves to the side. When I am done urinating it dribbles and it gets my undergarments a little wet. I did not masturbate for 3 days then When I did, my ejaculation was weak and I did not have that feeling I used to before. It’s like my semen just went back where it came from. I also can’t get an erection without stimulation, I used to get them without having to touch myself. I also have constipation and sometimes Loose stools.Before all these symptoms happened I had a moment of Happiness and Sadness. Because the girl who I used to love that left me for another man, talked to me again after months. But when I was happy I began to feel so sad and start to get chills and my body was like cold but at the same time like warm like if I had fever.
trying to find someone else with finger joint crepitus?
According to google, In orthopedic medicine and sports medicine, crepitus describes a popping, clicking or crackling sound in a joint. Joint popping sounds - what some may call bone cracking - may mean that air is moving in the joint, which is usually harmless.
What is more important than finding someone with your diagnosis is to figure out the cause of your discomfort. The two assessments here will help you understand if your brain is creating the pain or if the body is at fault. www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Once you know that your brain is creating the pain, you can disregard the diagnosis and focus on teaching your brain to end the pain. My fast start playlist will give you the knowledge and tools. DansFastStart.com
