Re: TMS?? (Dr. Response to TC)

Well it was more like your mind made the pain in the first place. Specifically

shoulder, upper back, buttock pain.He thought your brain deprived those tissues

of oxygen and made the pain.

I think he is still around. I was writing with Dr. Sopher.

Not sure if I agree with his theory but was an interesting book.

From Dr. Sophers perspective we were " told " we have tethered cord, and surgery

should have " fixed " us and the pain... it has not. Hence we really have TMS. 

But if nerves are stretched/chord damaged- how does that get fixed with

surgery??

Hi ,

I guess surgery should " release " the cord, allowing it to dangle freely or be

more stretchy like a rubber band hanging loosely as opposed to being taut at all

times which puts stress and damage on it. In my daughter's case, surgery was

successful but she quickly (within a matter of months) retethered each time due

to scar tissue leaving her with a tightly stretched cord yet again and a return

of symptoms. Sigh.
