Had chronic pelvic pain for 3 long agonizing years. For those 3 yrs I thought it was structural. Took meds, did the PT and the diets. Did the antibiotics and was even recommended surgery (which I didn’t do by the way thank god). Till I found out about dr John Sarno and TMS. Saved my life… was at the point of taking my own life cause I saw no way out. Thank god for Sarno, you Dan and ms Nicole sash. Now I’m 99 percent better 🙏🏼 I have a story and I’d love to share it:) It’s hard to find male pelvic pain sufferers n would like to be a voice! Let me know 👍🏼
Alberto - that's amazing. Thank you. If you're interested in sharing the success, book an interview with me. We'll record it and post it. Schedule here: TalkWithDan.com - click the Success Story Interview option. Thanks again!!!
@@PainFreeYou sounds good Dan :) I’ll do that 👍🏼
Alberto I’m looking forward to seeing your success story. You’re right regarding male pelvic pain success stories. They are out there but far and few in public. I have found them in books mostly. But there is hope!
@@diehardpatriot3 there is hope man don’t give up better days are coming:)
Alberto do you speak spanish?
Wow!!! This is exactly what I've been suffering from for the last two-and-a-half years. I had to stop everything that brought me Joy that was physically involved and it flares up from time to time I'm glad you made a video about this. I'm hoping I can overcome this! THANK FOR COVERING THIS!!
Are you aware that in addition to my daily videos, I have a full online course and do weekly group coaching sessions for the members? Details are here: PainFreeYou.com/join - I think you would benefit greatly.
Hello Dan, thank you so much! Currently having a nasty flare of painful bladder syndrome since September and I am in tears watching your videos and hearing I am not broken! I suspect that flare to be caused by a lot of stress accumulated last year, on a professional and personal level. I know they are 3 components of this condition. The bladder, the pelvic floor and the nervous system. Since this is not my first flare, I knew how to address the bladder pain with diet, the PFD with PT, however this time I was not improving and I did not know how to significantly adress the nervous system issue (besides yoga, breathing and meditation that helped a lot but where not enough this time) when I knew it is one of the major component in my case... I did some research and came accross a book called The Vagus Nerve. I learned about the polyvagal theory, about the major role the vagus nervus plays in our nervous system and how you can train and reinforce it to re-wire your brain and stop being stuck in a constant fight and flight response due to stress and fear. It talked to me so much that afer reading the book. I did enroll into a 9 weeks coaching webinar about the vagus nerve where I learned a lot about the nervous system and how I was reacting to stress. I found out that 80% of the time, I was in a fight and flight mode and that my vagus nerve was not flexible enough to regulate and I was stuck in a disregulated nervous system.
Then I came across TMS material, Doctor Sarno's work, and listened to some podcasts discussing this matter. One of them did mention your name and yesterday, I started listening to some of your videos on you tube and finally came accross this one today that is really talking to me and that moved me so much that I was crying listening to it .. . Is it possible that because I was closed to a burn out (on a professional and emotional level) and I did not listen to my body who actually gave me some warning signs that I did ignore, my body actually gave me pain so bad to almost bedridden me and force me to stop, slow down, and finally listen to it and respect it? Then you add the 3 archaic fears that this condition generates (helplessness, Incapacity, Isolation) that fueled that fear and stress, and it becomes chronic? The pain is so bad that every morning you wake up scared of being in pain again, not being able to handle your day. If by miracle you have a better day, you focus on all the slightest signs of pain. When you get in fear of being in pain and actually anticipate the pain, your body actually prepares for that pain and releases adrenaline, cortisol and other chemicals that can alone create and fuel the pain? Every day now, I am working on not being in fear of that fear and the pain that fear creates. I treat my fear and pain actually like friends here to protect me, instead of resisting them and fearing them. Every time I feel the pain coming I talk to my body and tell it I am hearing it, and that he does not need anymore to give me pain for me to listen to it: "I hear you and I see you, I promise I will now listen to you and take care of you". It looks like I am on the right track but if you could give me some feedback on my analysis, I will really be appreciated. Thank you!
It is ALL driven by the brains perception of danger. That's it. The pelvic floor and diet are not the issue. Learn about what causes symptoms:

Hi Dan, I have had chronic pelvic pain/prostatits/painful bladder syndrome/IC for 3 years. I have gone through every possible physical and mental intervention (until I found out about the mindbody syndrome), including the Wise Anderson Protocol, which brought to a certain level of relief, but ultimately found its limitations, as well as the limitations of all other modal treatments. I don't mind sharing my story because I believe it will be helpful to others. I am also thankful to you and Dr. Sarno for advocating an approach that explains the pain syndrome as being TMS. It offers the best explanation and treatment for chonic pain and has finally given me the missing answers I've been searching for. The work you are doing is important.
Thank you C P. A good place to begin with my work and understanding the cause of pain or other symptoms is here: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Hello Dear! Did you have horrific bladder pain? I am diagnosed with embedded bladder infection (bacteria deeply embedded in the bladder walls) and I am in horrific bladder pain 24/7😭 I am on long term antibiotics since 3 years and completely depressed because pain doesn’t go away and I can’t function.. I don’t know if my diagnosis is correct or it would be tms..
Did you have such an agonising bladder pain too? Or it came and went away? Did you ever had cultures done? Mine comes positive for some bacteria and high leukocytes.. so its so confusing.. I will appreciate your answer so much 🙏❤️
@@paulanazim2115 My predominant TMS symptom was a chronic irritated feeling inside the bladder. Because of this, I had frequent urination and a constant feeling that the bladder was never empty, even though there was very little urine. I am not a doctor and would never give medical advice, but you should take Dan's test to determine if you have TMS. It is very accurate. If the score confirms that you have a mindbody syndrome, then you should learn how to treat it either the books from Dr. Sarno or Dr. Shubiner, or better yet, join Dan's group. Many have also healed just listening to Dan's daily messages and videos he posted of people who have recovered from TMS. Believe it or not, my favorite thing to do every day was walk for an hour and just listen to his testimonials. There are a handful of testinominals of TMS survivors who have full recovered from IC/Painful Bladder Pain, CPPS symptoms. Some who whom who have had it much longer than you and I. I am also one who has healed from this horrific symptom. It's really hard for me to fathom that such real symptoms of chonic pain could be manufactured by the mind, but they truly are. God bless and good luck to you!
Thanks Dan! My pelvic pain is CRPS. Fun times! As you know it is much improved...I feel stuck now like...not sure what else I can do to help myself. :) But I am grateful for the progress. I agree the pelvic pain is very difficult...for me linked to trauma giving birth as well as medical trauma and all the rest. I sometimes feel the amount of trauma plus the severity means I will stay stuck. But I am keeping the faith that if I keep going at it it will shift. And I can sit again now after 3 years of being unable to sit for even a second. So I am incredibly grateful for that.
CRPS is basically another term for TMS. It's all the same thing. All caused by a fearful brain and hyper-sensitive nervous system. The fact that you improved to be able to sit means you can recover completely.
I had urination frequency and pelvic floor dysfunction as well as other TMS equivalents. The Doctors had me on all the antibiotics, prostate drugs and doing pelvic floor therapy. When I learned about TMS I stopped all the medication and PF therapy and adopted a TMS approach to getting better. After two years I'm so much better. Yesterday my car broke down and I noticed the need to pee sensation ramp up more than I've had over the prior year. I knew what it was and didn't freak out and today it's gone again. For me it's all stress related and the pressure I put on myself.
When this all started I obviously went to a bunch of doctors but I have to give credit to my urologist who was the first person to mention stress as the culprit. I remember him saying some people hold stress in their head and get headaches, some people hold stress in their backs and get back pain and some people hold stress in their pelvis. He still did send me to PF therapy but it got my brain thinking. I learned about TMS a few months later.
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing your experience.If you are interested in sharing your success story - go to TalkWithDan.com and click on the Success Story Interview to plan a time to record an interview with me.
@@mikedenis72 Thank you for posting this. I am in exact place now. Started with frequency and urologist also told me it was stress and I did eventually believe him after extensive years over a 5 month period but during this time I developed pain in my butt due to that whole area being tense because of the fear of the peeing. Still have butt pain severely and frequency because of the butt pain. Round and round. High anxiety too because of fear and pain. Really not make much progress and find it so hard to calm my mind and body from red alert due to these symptoms and pain. So pleased you doing well. I wish I could just let go and lose the fear. It's crippling and made my life so small.
* tests over 5 months. Not years.
@@PainFreeYou Still working on some little symptom imperative issues but when I have it all figured out I would like to chat with you. PS your videos are the best and have been the catalyst in me getting better.
This is so dangerous. This thought process can cause permanent disability.
I needed surgery bc I had rare tarlov cysts growing on my sacral nerve roots for 20 years. It took so long to get diagnosed that I now have permanent nerve damage.
I was in the prime of my life, at the top of my career and incredibly happy! I LOVED my career and my life, I wouldn't trade it for any reason.
Then this pain came in. Some people do have real problems. My cysts came from a genetic disorder.
You better make sure that you know this is all psychological before you decide to stop seeking help.
Dan, in one of your videos you listed a website of a TMS expert lady who has a specific section about groin pain. Can you provide that again? Thank you!
I actually do not remember. Groin pain is like all other pain. It's created in the brain based on the brain perceiving danger. A great place to begin is: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Thank you for these videos. My doctor convinced me to go for a diagnostic freezing injection in my left hip due to pelvic pain. I fought against it and have been working on the mind body approach. I was told that I would never recover without interventional medical help. The injection really did not help and I am more convinced I can do this with using the TMS techniques. So I am doing my best to A) Not to freak out! B) Calm reassurance I am not broken.....You are a great help! PS..Where's my buddy Finn!?
You are on the right track. As for Finn, he's never too far away.
So just curious did you end up getting the injections?
It was the Metoprolol. The doctor switched me to propranolol which treats anxiety. Metoprolol can make anxiety worse because it only affects Beta 1 receptors.
How about if it is after surgery?
Thank you so much for this video. My dr definitely connected dots loosely. No tests proved any Puedendal damage . I watch the video to remind me this is a brain issue :)
Absolutely perceived danger creating the pain.

I had pelvic pain that didn't allow me to sit for 3 years. Also came with frequent urination issues. I got rid of it once I discovered Dr Sarno and tooka tms approach. Took me about 9 months.
Thank you!
My urine always comes out negative for bacteria but still shows red blood cells. Had cystoscope all normal. No answer for why I have the RBC. Dr said some people just have them without a cause. I got the PN label but I’m so glad you said there is no evidence of any structural issue. They can’t show me anything wrong.
If all the medical testing is fine, perfect. The sensations are created by the brain perceiving danger.

Is pelvic dyssynnergia/constipation/hypertonic pelvic floor considered tms? I went to the doctors and my ct scan was normal but at pelvic floor therapy they did an ultrasound on me and it showed my muscles contracting wrong. I don’t know what to do and its ruining my life.
My Goodness. Your video is right on time. On Saturday I was at the drugstore asking for an antibiotic for an UTI. It came out of no where. Yesterday (July 19) it was my worst day. So much pain.......I just don't know what stress caused it. Still searching the cause......
If there is bacterial infection, the antibiotic is a great solution. However, we don't have to look for a specific cause. Just know that our immune system is suppressed greatly when we are under stress. That alone can be enough to allow an infection to occur. Soothe. Breathe. Trust your body to recover. Try not to stress about an issue that was partially influenced by stress.
@@PainFreeYou Always nice to hear your advice. Thanks Dan
Hi Dan, thanks for your videos, I was in tears seeing this one. I started with recurrent vaginal infections (candidiasis) and urinary infections during almost 15 years before my pelvic pain started constantly (most of the time nowadays, there is not infection, only similar sympthoms) pudendo, sacral pain... Are this vaginal and urinary infections also TMS?
Being in the fight or flight (stress) response suppresses the immune system which can allow infections to occur. True infections show up on tests and can be treated medically. If there is no infection, treat as TMS. Regardless, remaining calm and trusting your body to fight the infection is the way to go. And if it's not a true infection, the way forward is calm/safety.
Dan so something like embedded infection (bacteria deeply embedded in the bladder walls) doesn’t exist in your opinion? I don’t know if you ever heard about it?
Many girls have this diagnosis and as a cure they are given long term antibiotics treatment (for 1-3 years) and they get healed. I spoke with many girls who were taking antibiotics and initially it didn’t work but slowly after few months they saw the improvement in symptoms. Specialists of embedded infection explain thats it’s normal because the antibiotic has to break the biofilm and it takes long weeks and months to happen. I have this diagnosis but I don’t know if its correct.. I don’t know if I should focus on treatment with antibiotics or in my mind. I don’t want to makes things worse. If I would be 100% sure that its tms and not embedded infection I would stop antibiotics immediately but I am not sure 100% 🥲 what do you think about that? I will appreciate your answer 🙏
Hey, Dan~ I have been experiencing pelvic issues for over three years now. The initial nervy pain has dialed down and they come and go occasionally. But what stayed was itching and papercuts feeling. They were not there at first but they just got worse over time. Had many tests (always negative or inconclusive), but they never felt enough. Doctors (SO MANY OF THEM) refuse to do any more testing because they don't see anything amiss, but I FEEL the itch and the papercuts sensation almost every waking second! Steroids, creams, ointments, and other meds are not working. Went on a diet and my weight dropped to 37kg. I even did pelvic floor physiotherapy! I scored 34 on the pain test and I admit that I keep fearing contracting diseases and infections despite never having been sexually active. My doctors link it to my OCD. I have also gone through psychotherapy. But it's so hard to soothe myself when it's so hard to walk or sit or move with the itch and irritations present. 😭
Brother I went through the same thing!!!! It’s psychosomatic stop fearing it do more every day you can do it I went through EXACT thing
I had the same fears and all of the same things happened to me til I decided no more of this ! You can do it
Hi Dan .. thanks for the videos 🙏🏻🥰what about IBS? Having stomach cramps ? Are they also TMS?
yes, IBS is definitely TMS and stress induced. Try not to stress about a stress illness as that just keeps the symptoms persistent.
@@PainFreeYou 🧿🙏🏻💓💪🏻thats so much for responding .. we all got this ☺️
Hi Dan could you do a video on fibromyalgia?
Yes, that's on my list of topics. Short answer....yes, Fibro is absolutely TMS. So is Chronic fatigue syndrome.
Yes, a video on fibromyalgia/ CFS would be great! Thanks Dan
Thanks dan i had the pelvic pain doc told me it was a prostatitis but now i am fine after feeling ok with the pain or symptoms relaxing my body tension in face of pain i have recovered 99% only get twinge when i am stressed but when i soothe that twinge also subside thanks for the recovery
I have the same thing, and my urologist said the same thing like yours did. I am hoping I can overcome this!! I had to stop all physical activities. :(
@@kcw1980 commence all physical activities again your body is fine its the brain which is discharging pain symptoms the solution to recovery is relax in face of pain whenever you have symptoms or pain try to relax your body release the tension from pelvic muscles soften it like a wet noodle symptoms or pain is the clue that their is a lot of tension in your muscles try to loose it and then calm your mind let thoughts and negative emotions doubts about pain come but don’t believe them or ruminate on them let them pass observe them negative thinking feelings and pain are all discharged by brain you need to be ok with them
@@goldysandhu5288 initially I had a injury when I was doing yoga. And since then any touch or pressure on my pelvic area is still very sore e.g a cat sitting on my lap or me at the urologist anyting touching that area still has pain. I'm unable to wear tight pants or any kind of even Loosely fitting pants.

Thanks Dan. Been waiting for weeks for your wise take on this -- Chronic Prostatitis/ Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS); I am now convinced, after 6 months of doing the ritual rounds of urologists, PTs, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, alpha-blockers, that this is TMS aka Neuroplastic Pain. Have gotten over the fear/doubt around the possible cause/aetiology -- the urologists know shit and are unable to help ( usual refrain-- "live with it") -- but still unable to deal with the bad flares, especially when they ruin my sleep and my fortitude and confidence take a bad hit. The setbacks are very depressing and frustrating. I refuse to let the pain stand in the way of my plans for the day (work, hobbies etc) but I end up taking it out on my spouse. Do you suggest anything -- meds in the short term, perineal heat pad, TENS -- to address the symptoms when they turn nasty exactly as I am getting ready to hit the sack? What do I 'tell myself/my brain'? Not easy to ride the wave, so to speak, when the waves won't let up. A sixty year old physician can only shed silent tears while cursing his fate. Thanks again!
Hello! How are you now? I am wondering if bad bladder issues like pain, burning, pressure and high leukocytes could be caused by tms too? I am so confused if this is infection or tms 😭
@@paulanazim2115 Much better, thanks. The symptoms are nowhere near where they were a year ago though the post-void discomfort in the perineum and proximal urethra is still there to a milder degree. In the end nothing worked except my mental resolve and a decision to not let it stand in the way of my life as I want it to be.

Hello Dan Buglio
I discover your life and your job ;) sorry for my english, I do speak french. I have Bladder and uretra serious pain from 4 month now. I was thinking it could eventually be a tms. But the bladder biopsy show a high level number of mast cells ( cells of allergy and immunitary issue). So cam I still think that's nothing and take a deep breath? My brain can it fix this?
When you consider that stress can negatively affect your immune system, the immune issues showing in the bladder may simply be stress related changes. The key isn't to taking a deep breath, it's understanding what TMS is, how it works and determining if your symptoms behave like TMS or a physical issue.
Take the pain test: DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 is TMS

My symptoms are genitourinary. They list of symptoms I’ve had are so big I don’t even wanna list them. I am almost 100% better. One symptom I’ve gotten to go away entirely is frequent urination . Logically , that’s the most challenging symptom I’ve ever had so weird I got that to go away but not these last symptoms which is a bit annoying, but I’m getting there! Indifference makes the difference in all forms of TMS
Yes, indifference makes all the difference.
I cannot get rid of the frequent urination…
@@Sailormoonc3038 hey Mandy , yes it was hard and really takes you to stop paying attention to it. At the time I couldn’t see how it was possible since the sensation is so persistent .but indifference is possible
@@Sailormoonc3038 I got rid of it by actually finding out frequent urination is a common ocd symptom and ppl get rid of it by only going pee if 2 hours has passed by since last time. If you have gotten medical clearance that nothing is wrong, than that means you can get rid of it by resisting going to the bathroom. This is and was incredibly uncomfortable for me and annoying but over the course of the week the sensation to urinate went away slowly until gone
Hi! Im starting my journey now … could u share with me more less what were your symptoms and what was most helpful? I have so many symptoms too 🤦🏾♀️

Hello Dan , I got diagnosed with embedded uti infection which is managed by long term antibiotics treatment, I have a range of pelvic symptoms and also tinnitus and muscle spams , does this sound like TMS ? Thankyou for your informative videos
Many with a diagnosis of embedded UTI's really had TMS all along. The other symptoms are also very common TMS manifestations. Have you taken the pain test? YourPainTest.com - a score of 29 or higher is TMS for sure.

I have been diagnosed with the same. Did long term antibiotics for 5 years. Are you trying TMS? I want to but can’t get my mind to trust and believe!
Hi dear how are you now? I am diagnosed with the same condition- embedded infection.. in horrific pain 24/7 😭 on long term antibiotics 2 years and still in pain..
Hello Dan, I want to tell my story since I am sure that I have this condition called tms, I am 23 years old, I am a man and I have been suffering from chronic pelvic pain for 6 years. I was an amateur soccer player and this all started due to an injury while playing soccer. I felt a tear in my my right hamstring but the strange thing is that it was accompanied by severe testicular pain and inflammation. I went to the doctor for a year and they couldn't find anything. The testicular pain disappeared but the penis and perineum began to hurt after ejaculating. It was intense pain in the perineum and in the anus very horrible spasms were changing places adductors hip buttocks when this started I was only 16 years old I was a scared child I didn't know that something like that could happen to me it gave me a lot of anxiety and depression those pains but more so the simple fact that I would never play again football because of those pains, after a while of going everywhere looking for a solution, I resigned myself and accepted the defeat, but the worst had not yet come. After a while, I had a back contracture in the thoracic spine, the left dorsal spine, and other horrible pains began in my back. The neck, shoulders, even the chest, but at the same time I had pelvic pain and that was already crazy. I looked like an old man waiting for death. They gave me nerve blocks every month. They blocked my nerves. They put needles in me everywhere. That left me traumatized because it was just a Child, the thing is that I never got better, I was resentful of life and I started taking drugs to forget the pain. I got tired of going to doctors and isolated myself from my family, friends, networks, etc. A year ago I found out about TMS but it didn't convince me at first. and today I still have all those pains but I read Dr. Sarno's book and now I am sure that I also have the problem is that he was not able to overcome the fear that those pains left me with. I know that I have nothing structural in my house, I keep more of 100 tests that I took in the last 6 years and everything goes well so I'm sure it's SMT but I don't know how to act on it I'm desperate I always think about suicide when I read the book I realized that my mind is conditioned and I'm very weak but the I really don't know what to do, no matter how much I reread the book and keep watching videos and reading the 12 reminders of scabies, I don't feel improvement every day practical jornal spek but I still don't feel improvement the only thing that makes sense is that I've been a little more active and stronger of mind because I am sure that my body is healthy but it is difficult to convince my mind. I would like some advice or a tip, I am from Colombia, I am using a translator, I do not speak English, sorry.
Hi Dan, my body shows a scoliosis that seems to be getting worse. meanwhile 69 degrees deviation. (Iam 54now) this was "classified" under the heading of idiopathic scoliosis, cause unknown. Since I was involved in a car accident at a very young age, I suspect that this trauma is at the root. I have followed numerous therapies, but nothing seems to work to reduce my anxiety and pain. Does scoliosis also belong to the TMS group? Thank you for all the video’s you make!
Take a look at my picture part of the way down my website at: PainFreeYou.com. I wasn't in pain because I was crooked. I was crooked because I was in pain. When I stopped worrying about my body and taught my brain that I had TMS, not a crooked back - the pain went away. And when the pain went away, my body straightened out all on it's own.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you for the reply! it actually confirms what I already know myself but don't dare to believe... daring to believe is the most difficult aspect for me.
I had severe pudendal neuralgia, diagnosed by several doctors. I healed completely from PN with a TMS approach. I took me about 3 months. I almost jumped on the surgery bandwagon, but luckily I realized it was all neuroplastic in nature.
How, exactly, were you helped?
What did you do in terms of tms approach?
@@santsu8392 somatic tracking twice a day, some journaling and reading the theory
Can anyone answer the question of exactly what you did and how it helped?
@@johns1577 I have a success story on Pain Free You youtube-channel. Search for pudendal neuralgia.
"CRPS and TMS are two different medical conditions. CRPS stands for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome which is a severely disabling condition that usually affects the limbs, after injury or surgery. The main symptoms are severe pain, swelling, loss of range of motion, temperature changes, and changes in the skin. Although CRPS can occur anywhere in the body, it usually affects an arm, leg, hand, or foot 1. On the other hand, TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation which is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders 234.
I hope this helps clarify the difference between the two conditions"
Yes, there is a medical technology used on the brain called TMS. However the TMS I am referring to is Tension Myositis Syndrome or "The Mindbody Syndrome" which is a condition that Dr Sarno discovered in the 1980's. I call it perceived danger pain or symptoms. CRPS is curable using the methods by Dr Sarno. If you'd like to dig in, watch my fast start playlist. DansFastStart.com

Pelvic pain is also sacro iliac joint pain and pubis symphisis pain which is very painful when walking. Many women get this pain when pregnant and after pregnancy. I hope and think this also is TMS.
The best way to know is to evaluate how the symptoms behave. DanBuglio.com/paintest - a score over 29 is TMS.
@@PainFreeYou I scored 41!
What is TMS
Dan, ive just been in hospital 6 days
... i need you.. one on one.. please can i pay you for a session.? I need help.
The best place to begin is my fast start playlist. DansFastStart.com I'm not able to do one-on-one sessions due to time constraints and demand. However, you can get direct access to me multiple times a week through my group coaching program. I run 4 calls a week and you can attend any or all of them to ask questions.
PainFreeYouGroup.com
What about muscle strains/pulls? Can this work help?!
Real muscle strains and pulls heal rather quickly. How long ago did this occur? If long ago and the pain is chronic, it is likely Perceived Danger causing the pain. Best place to start is here: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
I’m a physician and got diagnosed with “prostatitis” 2 years ago. I believe my symptoms are all TMS, but not completely cured. You mention on your website it took you years after realizing you had TMS to be finally cured. What did it take to finally get over the hump? I would rather not take years ….. ha
I went through this before the days of youtube, facebook, podcasts. There were a few Sarno books and that was it. The things I teach daily are what I eventually got to. But figuring it out on my own was the problem. My fast start will give you all the tools you need to recover. DansFastStart.com
I was just diagnosed with "mild" Pudendal nerve entrapment.
Now what, kind sir?
It could be a misdiagnosis. Watch my fast start playlist. Do the assessments I speak about in the 3rd video in the playlist. If it's TMS/PDP, implement the concepts I teach to end the pain. DansFastStart.com
Hi Dan what about Endometriosis is that a mind body syndrome.
The build up of the lining is not TMS, but the associated pain can be amplified or kept persistent by fear and focus on the diagnosis. Fear and attention makes any type of pain worse. Are you aware that in addition to my daily videos, I have a full online course and do weekly group coaching sessions for the members? Details are here: PainFreeYou.com/join - I think you would benefit greatly.
@@PainFreeYou great thanks Dan. I will check it out. My TMS in my back has improved greatly since I started all this a few months back. Consistency off safety messages to the brain, self soothing every day, calming my inner child and being indifferent and lastly regaging in life again is what's really working for me. Unfortunate about the Endometriosis not being TMS but it does only flare up when I'm stressed. I did tell my brain the other day when symtoms flared its OK its just mind, body symtoms they quickly left again. Anyone that suffers with chronic pain or illness please follow this man. It was this man's you tube channel that got me well on my way to recovery and over my fear off movement, sitting etc. This man is a credit to anyone suffering 👏
Dan, my sister is struggling with something similar to a condition known as Costochondritis, due to the pandemic no tests have been carried out. Though no tests are known to diagnose this condition except for certain postures and the symptoms you are experiencing. Do you think this could be TMS and that maybe you could do a video about this. Thank you for all that you do and more.
Love and light to you, Shveta 😇
costochondritis is a medical label doctors give when someone shows up with symptoms in the chest/rib cage area. The ONLY way to know if it's TMS is to do the assessments to see if the pain behaves like a structural issue or TMS. Have her take the pain test. Any score over 29 is TMS and she can proceed with a TMS approach. If the symptoms are concerning, she should see a doctor about her heart health ASAP. The goal with any symptom is to rule out life threatening issues and then....rule in TMS.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you so much 🙏🏻
@@lakshyamalhotra8867 Hi Lakshya I suffered with this some 18 years ago. It was so painful and felt like a concrete block was sitting in my chest. It was in fact coming from my ribs. I was at the docs and emergency room sooo many times before one doc was able to tell what it was. I was barely able to sit up and get in and out of bed. It took a good few months to go away. And it did go away because at that time I believed the doc that it would get better and most of all I had no fear which made all difference I am sure. I have pelvic pain now through tension and anxiety and full of fear and guess what? Not going away because of fear and doubt. Hope this helps a little. :)
@@Julie-iw3mh Thank you dear, sending you love and good wishes 😇
I've had what I now think is pudendal neuralgia because it irritates different organs at different times. Right now, it's my bladder, constant urgency when I don't even have any urine. Sometimes, it's my rectum, virgina, or my gut. I just started taking benfotiamine and lapoic acid. It's been 3 years. I've been through PFPT with no positive results.

Then scroll through the success stories of people who got well with the concepts I teach. PainFreeYouSuccess.com
It was the Metoprolol. The doctor switched me to propranolol which treats anxiety. Metoprolol can make anxiety worse because it only affects Beta 1 receptors.
This is 99.9% in the mind it’s a bad fear you gotta get over
I have urinary retention and find it hard to pee and empty my bladder. I had tests done 5 years ago and they couldn’t find anything. It’s got worst since I’ve had a bad time with anxiety more recently. Can this be TMS?
Yes it can. Not sure of your age, but a swollen prostate can restrict urine flow. Have you had that checked?
@@PainFreeYou thanks so much for coming back to me! Yes I had that checked last year and it’s all good. I’ve had back pain and found sarno, then found your page. My back pain has decreased greatly since and I do everything pretty much, I’ve had a few other symptoms that again have decreased. Love your work man!
What about female pelvic pain?? Like pain that comes during cycles and ovulation? Is that the same?
It certainly can be. My Getting Started page will provide a lot of information and a couple assessments for you to take to see if your situation fits these concepts.:

What is TMS????
I absolutely know how mine started. I had sudden onset of bladder frequency and my anxiety went from a 2 to a 100 overnight that was July 2019 and have not to date been able to reverse this fear. I went into complete meltdown over bladder and almost lost my mind with the fear of being house bound forever. Then the pelvic pain started and extra meltdown. So hard to not be fearful or pay attention. Had tests galore. A huge stressor triggered all this and I freaked out and still in freak out, ALL things Dan says not to do I do them all day long even though have print outs all over house saying what not to do. Tears and bed many times a day. Sorry for so many posts today Dan, the comments today are so apt for me.
Just recorded a success story about bladder and pelvic pain today. Should post in the next few days. There IS hope.
@@PainFreeYou Thanks Dan will look forward to that and look out for it.
How r u jule
Hi! I’m kinda in the same boat with literally the same symptoms that came out absolutely out of no where. It’s strange because i was getting better but then I freaked out and back to square one. Been a month and I cannot stop freaking out. Ugh. I hope I can heal from this nightmare.
@@yuliaevdokmov8587 Hello yes I too was getting better after the initial shock but then it took hold and the fear has taken over and I add more and more fear. Keeping watching Dan and try to quiet the mind from freak out mode. Easier said than done as I've discovered.
It's ironic because before doctors ever even heard of pudendal neuralgia doctors would tell the patient it's all in their mind. And I way they were right but they didn't even realize it
It's how they say it that matters.
3:23 I have scrotal pain that's been 100% taken away by pudendal nerve blocks.
Too many surgeries and procedures to mention. Tens of thousands of dollars spent. Unable to work for 14 years.
A pain doctor once implied it was all in my head, which really pissed me off.
Do I have less pain when I'm distracted - yes. Is it worse when I'm stressed - absolutely! Does it interfere with my sleep - no. Thank God. I can go to sleep when the pain gets to where it feels like you just got hit in the nuts, and it hurts so badly that you throw up Pain not affecting your sleep is actually one of the Nantes Criteria for diagnosis of pudendal neuralgia.
Can I think, or relax my way out of this? Hard to imagine, and it sure would be embarrassing. But I have nothing to lose. I've already lost most everything I ever cared about because of this damned pain.
I'm an evidence based kinda guy. I'm going to TRY to keep an open mind about this, because I'm about to take a huge financial hit that's going to majorly impact the rest of my life. The stress from that has my pain almost as bad as it's ever been.
It just seems too easy - too good to be true.
And, why would a nerve block completely take away the pain for 2 hours if something isn't irritating the pudendal nerve? Riddle me that for starters.
Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to help others. According to the comments, it's helped many people. And, it's non-invasive - and free!
Your gratitude is clear in how you aren't selling anything, just genuinely trying to help with a condition that absolutely takes over and destroys your life.
Yes, 100% agree, Dan, been there, done that, got a T shirt. Stop seeing PTs, chiros etc who tell you that you are crooked and that your hips are out of alignment. Stop doing all the special exercises and stretches to fix and "rebalance" your pelvis. In other words take away FEAR and ATTENTION and magic happens!
Exactly - your last statement is THE SOLUTION.
Do you feel an improvement after practicing TMS?
What if my PT also encourages the mind/body techniques?
Dan so do you think that embedded infection doesn’t exist? I have this diagnosis and don’t know what to think now. The only cure for that is taking long term antibiotics for 1-3 years. Its horrible! But I know many girls who got healed with this regime. Specialists of this condition explains that antibiotics don’t work at the beggining (even until 3 months mark) because antibiotics have to break out the biofilm and reach to the bacteria because with embedded infection there are bacteria deeply embedded in the bladder walls/cells. As I said I know many girls who got healed thanks to this treatment and now they are living normal life but had to take long term antibiotics for more than 2 years. Why they got healed then if embedded infection doesn’t exist? I don’t want to question this theory and yours but I just would like to know what is the truth to get a proper treatment. If embedded infection doesn’t exist I will stop all antibiotics and focus on my mind only but I need to be sure that it is a way to go. I don’t want to make things worse of course. I will appreciate your answer Dan 🙏
I think I have this condition and I'm coming close to giving up
Many with that "condition" get well. You can too. Go through the resources on my getting started page to learn more. Watch the videos. Do the assessments. I map out options for recovery, both free and paid.

Further, in my success story playlist, there are many success stories of people with pelvic type symptoms getting well. Watch them all.
If they can get well, you can too.

@@PainFreeYou Well from what I researched, this condition is nearly impossible to cure. And if this program can't do that, I don't think I would be interested.
@@lukemarshall118 Did you not check out the testimonials with various pelvic pains who all got better? Did you watch the resources on my getting started page?
Pelvic pain can be resolved. Dig into the resources in my previous reply.
@@lukemarshall118 What if your research is wrong? Perceived danger explains most chronic pain conditions. Your solution is not in a doctors office or bottle of pills. YOU can reverse your pain if you open up to the fact that many people have and are currently getting well. ruclips.net/video/tnU6KBAv5fg/видео.html
Telling people their pain is all caused by stress and emotion is just another way of delaying people getting true care and help. Go to as many doctors as it takes to find one that actually helps you.
There are no drugs to sell someone with TMS, so it will never become mainstream
That's likely true, but more and more people are opening their eyes to the fact that something else is going on. My fast start is a good place to begin for anyone curious about the mindbody cause of pain or symptoms. DansFastStart.com
Hard flaccid?
I do believe that can be a mindbody condition. Check out my getting started page to learn more: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
@@PainFreeYou do you have any clients who overcame this or any videos about it?
@@iamwaveofwaves Not directly. But given what I know about mindbody issues and the condition, I believe it is. There is literally no downside to the approach I suggest. Only benefit. ruclips.net/video/g5xWR6eBlb8/видео.html
@@PainFreeYou would you say balding is connected to it as well?
@@iamwaveofwaves Some say balding can be stress related, while others say it's more genetic.
Why is the medical community spending so much energy on figuring different ways to say it is all in our heads and the patient's fault instead of working to figure out how to diagnose and end chronic pain? I am not in pain because of my emotions. My emotions and stress, anxiety, and anger, are all from having to fight and fight and deal with doctors being unwilling to actually try and figure out what is wrong and causing my pain. No one has been willing to try and actually figure out where the pain is coming from after surgery. I have been through far more stressful life situations without this pain. I have gone through other episodes of acute pain that lasted months before getting surgery and recovered with zero pain after. There is something freaking wrong inside my body that is irritating nerves, which is causing muscle spasms, which is irritating nerves. I cannot meditate and CBT my way out of this. I need to know what is structurally causing the pain.
I read your comment , what type of pain do you have ? What type of spasms are you having??
It's all okay to use the term TMS, but what does it stand for? Trans magnetic stimulator?
You give no introduction and assume so much.
No - trans magnetic stimulator is a different technology. TMS is fully explained if you look up Dr. Sarno. It's a term that describes The Mindbody Syndrome. It is a cause for most chronic pain or other chronic symptoms. Basically, when the brain perceives danger - the brain can use pain to warn us of that perceived danger.
A full explanation can be found in my fast start playlist. DansFastStart.com
There you will learn what is going on and what to do about it.
@PainFreeYou sadly you miss the point. What does the term TMS stand for?
Tension Myositis Syndrome - also The Minbody Syndrome. I told you when I said "It is a term that describes "The (T) Mindbody (M) Syndrome (S) TMS=TheMindbody Syndrome - Previously called Tension Myositis Syndrome. @@sunilsethi2982
