Pain in the Past!
Life with chronic pain. Or, not!
This is my journey with pain, symptoms and sensations throughout my entire body for the last 23 years! Sometimes termed: Chronic pain, Migratory pain, Neuropathic pain, Spontaneous pain, Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS), Perceived Danger Pain (PDP) and others. I will use TMS in this podcast.
After many years of doctor visits, X-rays, MRI's and co-pays, I never really had any real "diagnosis." It was more of a, "Well, it could be...."I came across a book from Dr. John Sarno and wondered if the description of TMS he gave was what I was experiencing.
After months of testing for myself, trials and errors, mental adjustments, and mind/body connections, it appears that after 23 years, I finally have a root cause!
My brain attempting to keep me safe from my emotional pain, by sending my body into physical pain as a "distraction." It sounded preposterous initially however, after months of personal analysis, it appears to be legit. I am documenting my personal experiences in: Pain in the Past!

Episode 82 - The Pain Moves Around My Body!
Send Pain in the Past Podcast a Question:
Yes folks, the pain moves! Based on Dr. Sarno's theory, of the brain is trying to protect us from our emotions by causing physical pain and symptoms, it makes sense that the brain would move the pain around. If we just had a realization of TMS or potential TMS and moved on from our single individual pain, the brain would have a pretty simple task and most would not experience pain and symptoms for many years. Moving the pain around keeps us in the pain/fear loop! If you don't have a medical diagnosis or illness, the movement of pain is typical with TMS.
