hi there everyone and thank you for takin gtime to read this, i am truely greatful for your time.

i am having stabbing pain on my right heel / achillies tendon and i have had this since monday.  i have tried eft'in myslef and lots of diff aspects of why the pain is there, but with no joy, the intensity doesnt even change!

how it happened - i was stretching calf and soleus (muslce of the lower leg) on monday in my studio and something kinda twinged i suppose. then it gradually got worse.

past stuff - i am 27 just now and i first had problems with this leg with calf cramps 2-3 times from the age of 13/14 to 16, crapms were so bad i had to sit for 2hrs or more before it would ease. around 17 i was told i had achillies tendonitis which flared up occationally.  at 18 i stretched the tendon and ligaments of this foot by landing on the outside of my foot when playing basketball, coming down from a rebound. i was put in an open cast. at 20 i was told i had patella femoral dysfunction, something to do with the knee cap??? i got treatment for this also (all physio).

i now know that if i suddenly explode with a sprint of speed that i get a sudden stabbing pain which makes me pull up and to others is very obvious that something went wrong. i also cannot do explosive jumping, like plyometric work, jumping sports of any kind as the pain (tendonitis) will flare up in my right heel.

i understand the deeper meaning of pain than a physical injury in the body, i am an eft level 2 , CHEK HLC level 2, CHEK Exercise Coach and a Reiki practitioner. so i know about the chakras and energy blockages to a certain level.

i have tried using setups like

all this pain in my right heel / ankle

all this pain in my right achillies tendon

ive described it as stabbing / pain / ache / shooting

ive used the colour of it

ive thought about how this pain slows me down

how the pain stops me walkin properly, therefore stoping me taking those steps i need to

ive used that its on my right leg, im right handed therefore it is regarding a male, either myself or my dad ( as this is what my teachings have taught me)

ive used that its to do with security

im really stuck and frustrated with this

any ideas? lol

Hi Chris,

So far, I see you tapping on the paiin, but not emotions. What was going on in your life when you first got the pain? What is going on in your life now that is emotionally painful?

My suggestion, is to tap on thos painful events from your past, and what is emotionally painful now. Then check your physical pain.

Please let me know what happens.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

Hi,

It may be something as simple as a magnesium deficiency, but...

It still has an emotonal component. I know Louise Hay says that right side = male, but that may be male aspects of your life like career/money. If you were 13 or 14 at the time these started, that might have something to do with school. Was there something as you started Junior High that was difficult such that you feared moving forward?

 Have you ever read any of Dr John Sarno's books? If not, it sounds like they might be of great interest to you. His work as a practising physician deals with pain (which he refers to as TMS) as a subconcious way to distract us from repressed anger and rage. He documents the idea that the mind will target any area in the body that you have had a real injury in - injuries that certainly would've healed, not stayed for 15 years. His books deal with all kinds of pain syndromes - sciatica, tendonitis, TMJ, RSI, bursitis etc etc. You can also check out the forum at tmshelp.com

Hi,

  Have you tried Network Chiropratic treatment. In this type of treatment, the practitoner uses simple contacts on the lower spine to help the brain work with the body to help to release emotional/energy blocks and hence remove pain. I have heard it is effective with foot/calf pain.  I have seen some really good results from this type of treatment especially if you need some external help.

DOn't give up on EFT - it works if you get to the core. I sense frustration(deep within) even when you are doing EFT and that can keep you from getting results. TRy visulaizing no pain as your working and alternate positive affirmations with negative affirmaions (or use several rounds of positive affirmations to release frustration) Imagine the end result and make your intention strong using Reiki symbols. SOmehwere along the way, you might find teh core reason and suddenly find yourself less frustrated and then EFT works well. YOu could do EFT first to release frustration. If you are used to getting results quickly with EFT, tell yourself that it is oK if results come slowly with EFT and that results will come.

hope this helps.

Hi Chris,

 Another idea for you to play with, is to imagine that your pain is a seperate entity from you.  Release all identity with it.  Philvt from this forum mentioned this to me, and I was amazed at how I hadn't thought of this before, in my many years of pain and work in self awareness......lol.

So it is.

 All the best

Myra
