TMSTension Myositis Syndrome
What is TMS?Tension myositis syndrome is a very real and physical pain syndrome caused by repressed, suppressed and internalized emotional issues. In this condition, the subconscious mind uses physical pain as a distraction from threatening psychological/emotional feelings. These repressed thoughts and feelings are kept under strict guard by the subconscious mind. Unfortunately, these unpleasant issues are constantly seeking to make themselves known to the conscious mind. The subconscious is trying to defend the conscious mind from experiencing the full effect of these emotionally charged issues. The subconscious uses PHYSICAL PAIN as a means to keep the conscious mind focused on the PHYSICAL BODY, rather than the threatening emotional issues. Got all that?Hmmm… yes. It is a bit complicated. The full story on psychological pain syndromes can be found in my PSYCHOLOGICAL BACK PAIN PAGES. Mechanics of TMSOk, so tension myositis syndrome is caused by psychological issues. But how do those issues cause physical pain?The subconscious mind has great power over the physical body. One of the systems that it can influence is the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This system controls many of the bodily functions that we take for granted. The ANS controls the heart rate, pupil size, perspiration, digestion, salivation, and the diameter of blood vessels, among others. The last one is what we are concerned with in TMS… THE DIAMETER OF BLOOD VESSELS. When the subconscious mind chooses to start a pain condition, it simply orders the circulatory vessels to contract in the affected area. This slight contraction of blood vessels decreases the circulation to the affected region. The muscles have a difficult time metabolizing lactic acid and other waste products. The muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and other tissues, all suffer reduced oxygenation. This
oxygen deprivation
is what causes the pain in tension myositis syndrome.
TMS SymptomsReduced oxygen in a muscle will cause pain and even spasming. This is the same effect as a leg cramp experienced by a distance runner. Nerve tissue is extremely delicate and is affected almost immediately by the reduced supply of oxygen. Nerve involvement can cause pain, tingling, numbness or weakness.TMS back pain is only one of many expressions of psychological pain. There are actually many varied types of psychologically induced pain syndromes.
TMS back pain is often mistaken for other physically caused pain conditions. The symptoms may resemble other types of common back problems. Due to the common occurrence of conditions such as herniated discs spinal arthritis, and degenerative disc disease, TMS is most often misdiagnosed. It is no surprise that treatments designed to cure a physically caused problem usually have little or no curative effect on tension myositis pain.
Recommendation for TMS PainI have a lot of experience with tension myositis syndrome. I was under the care of Dr. Sarno for this very condition. Of course, I suffered with horrible back pain for 18 years while all the while blaming it on my 2 herniated discs and degenerative disc disease. None of my literal horde of doctors, chiropractors and therapists, ever even speculated that my pain might have a psychological cause. I never would have believed it was possible either…Well, it is no wonder that all my attempts at treatment were utter failures. I wasted so much time in my life suffering. I spent a FORTUNE $$$ trying everything to find relief. Nothing worked for me. I learned the truth of my condition through knowledge therapy. I read about the true cause of my pain and then simply cured myself. HUH? Cured himself ??? NO WAY !!! What a joke… It’s true. No one can cure you of TMS, but you. It is that easy. I reversed my desperate condition in a matter of months. I am pain free. I can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING without restrictions now. I still have herniated discs and my degenerative disc disease is worsening. However, they do not cause me ANY pain, nor did they ever. TMS pain is very real. I know. The cure for it is also VERY REAL.
