Success Story-8 years Sciatica pain gone. Overdue Story!
After experiencing a traumatic event 11 years ago, the author developed chronic pain, which they later learned was likely TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome), a condition where the brain creates physical pain to distract from underlying emotional issues. Despite trying various treatments and managing to reduce the pain with medication, the author continued to push through and avoid emotional expression, which exacerbated the pain. With the help of Dr. Sarno's book, the author began to connect the dots between their pain and unresolved emotions, but struggled with anxiety and the emotional work required to overcome TMS. Ultimately, taking a break from work and prioritizing self-care, including quitting drinking, helped the author begin to address their underlying issues and eventually reduce their pain.
