Pain free from hypermobile CTD/fibro dx, 20 years of pain
The author experienced chronic pain and inflammation in multiple body parts for over 20 years, including the jaw, shoulders, back, elbows, wrists, knees, thighs, groin, and ankles, as well as skin rashes and red spots. Despite trying various treatments, including physical therapy, acupuncture, and medication, the pain persisted. After reading Dr. Sarno's book "Healing Back Pain" and learning about Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) theory, the author began to change their mindset about pain and started facing their fears, gradually returning to normal activities and eventually experiencing significant improvement and eventually complete relief from pain.
