seeing progress! less biting pain, less time to "unlock" muscles in order to move. very, very thankful

Good Article on TMS

well, it's still going, and pain is moving around. sharp bite on left upper butt cheek. sitting down, takes a minute to dissapate, getting up, takes a minute to dissapate, once walking, i feel fine, like nothing's wrong. but stand to squat...takes a minute or two for lower back/hip to let go, and upon standing up again, front side, near hip goes nuts for a while.

I encountered this article on TMS, I thought was really helpful. I'm wholly on board and frustrated as to its getting worse than better. Two things I gleaned from the article. 1. You have to quit monitering the pain. by constantly describing it, you give it attention and energy. Which is what the pain is wanting, instead, treat it like a child who's fallen but isn't hurt, acknowledge it, but continue on. What the pain wants is for you to ditch everything to cater to it. 2. When the pain hits, substitute the "oh shit" thought with something more pleasant. Rewire the pain's message. And so when the pain no longer freaks you out, the pain will cease to exist. The pain is a bully, don't fear it or let it intimidate you.
