Tension Myositis Pain
Tension myositis pain is one of the least understood types of common back pain.
Tension Myositis Syndrome
(TMS) is a condition that affects millions of patients around the world. It is a neuromuscular pain syndrome that is created by a psychological process, as opposed to a physical structural causation. The vast majority of patients with tension myositis never find relief due to the lack of an accurate
diagnosis.

Tension Myositis Pain Symptoms
TMS is a condition that affects each patient in a different way. The majority of patients have pain in the lower back. Many might experience pain in the neck, middle back, shoulder, hip, wrist, knee or any other area of the body. While back pain is often the primary symptom of TMS, many patients also display additional symptoms and pain syndromes in other bodily systems. Additional information on these substitute pain conditions can be found on my page titled
psychologically induced pain syndromes.
Causes of Tension Myositis Pain
The actual physical symptoms are caused by a process called
ischemia.
This oxygen deprivation of bodily tissues is purposefully enacted by the patient’s subconscious mind. The mind uses the pain as a defense mechanism against unresolved and repressed sensitive emotional issues. Physical pain makes a great distraction, since it really holds the patient’s attention and becomes the focus of the patient’s conscious thoughts.Info on

Recommendation on Tension Myositis Pain
Most patients with TMS never know it. They work their way through the medical and alternative heath care systems with little or no success. They often try many therapies with mediocre or poor results. Their doctors are usually puzzled by their
treatment resistant pain
and often resort to providing
symptomatic treatment
only. The patient continues to suffer for years and truly learns the meaning of the word
FRUSTRATION.
I suffered with TMS pain for 18 years without knowing it. My pain was blamed on a variety of
back pain scapegoats,
including
degenerative disc disease
and a couple of
herniated discs.
Lucky for me, I was able to discover the true nature of my pain and find a real cure. I have been pain free ever since and have taken the opportunity to help others learn the facts of their pain, as others have helped me.
