                      | Hi, I’m a 57 year old female and a long-time follower and advocate of Dr. Sarno. I tend to try to not pay too much attention to new pains in my body since they are almost always TMS.
 
 However, 2 ½ months ago, I began having a little shooting pain in my groin. This was new to me, but I tried to ignore it and keep exercising. Long story short, it got worse and I woke up one morning with the groin pain so bad I could put no weight on my left leg and my lower back was in full spasm. I had a horrible black bruise going down the inside of my leg. According to what I’ve read, a sure sign of a groin strain.
 
 A month later I saw a physical therapist who diagnosed a pelvic strain with groin pull. I have been doing exercises to strengthen the pelvic region and there has been improvement but I still have to use a crutch much of the time.
 
 This really seems like a genuine injury to me (especially when I saw the bruise) but am wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this. The physical therapist tells me it is a ligament and from what I’m reading, ligaments can be hard to heal.
 
 Any input would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

                      | Steve, 
 Can you explain how that sounds like classic tms? It sounds nothing like classic tms to me.

                      | it came out of nowhere, shooting pains, "lower back in full spasm", in my experience tms CAN get extremely nasty like this. |
