I&amp;#39;ve been getting into EFT a lot and have even cleared up some major emotional issues from my past, but whatever I do, neither by back pain nor my neck pain get any better. If anything, the pain in my neck just temporarily weakens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;My problem is that I don&amp;#39;t know what underlying emotional cause I need to fix. I&amp;#39;ve read what I could on the topic of finding the hidden causes. I know that according to Louise Hay, neck pain&amp;nbsp; represents an actual &amp;quot;pain in the neck&amp;quot;, though I&amp;#39;m not sure if it only refers to people or situations as well. My back pain, according to her writings, represents some form of guilt. The problem is, I have no idea what either of those mean for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m at a loss here. I have no idea what the problem could be. I even tapped on &amp;quot;even though I don&amp;#39;t know my underlying problem...&amp;quot;, though I&amp;#39;m not sure what I expected to happen by doing that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;What should I do, guys? The pain in my neck is about a 5, but the fact that it&amp;#39;s been there for so long makes it worse for me. Same for the back pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I thought could be the cause is an accident I had at around 10 years old. I fell on my shoulder, resulting in my collarbone (to this date) being sort of dislocated. It pops in and out of place. I&amp;#39;ve addressed everything I could think of surrounding that with tapping. The memory of the fall is now harmless and no longer painful, but my back and neck are still a mess.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe I&amp;#39;m expecting too much of EFT. I was actually hoping my collarbone would pop magicallly back into place and stay there. Has anyone ever seen something like that happen with EFT? Bones mending themselves I mean.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Long story short, what do I need to do for my neck and back? Any suggestions whatsoever are welcome. Thank you so much in advance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>acid reflux, largnophageal reflux LPR</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/33425.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 Oct 2009 19:13:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:33425</guid><dc:creator>Curiosity</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/33425.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=33425</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I have been suffering from this for years.&amp;nbsp; I am an young , vibrant 62 year old woman, and have tried everything.&amp;nbsp; The usual meds didn&amp;#39;t touch it, the alternative medicine men ended up taking tips from me, and I am now doing accupuncture and Qigong, with a little relief.

I have just been learning about EFT since July and I have been having spotty successes with my own issues but the percentage of them is enough to keep me going, it&amp;#39;s getting better as I hone in on the important details.  I read the newsletter and forums often and glean info from all of you here.

Question:  I would like to try to help someone who&amp;#39;s English is very limited, she&amp;#39;s 85 years old. She has pain in her legs I would like to help relieve. 
Would EFT work if I tapped on her in English or should I get someone who speaks her language to learn EFT and tap on her/tap along with her?

Thank you in advance for any insights,

I&amp;#39;ve had chronic hip pain on my RIGHT side, which is actually referred from a herniated disc in my lumbar area, and exaccerbated by degenerative disc disease in the same area. I&amp;#39;ve had this for nearly four years and have been able to get temporary relief from injections, medications, decompression therapy, chiropractic theapy, etc., but nothing has helped permanently. Over these past 4 years, I go in and out of &amp;quot;episodes&amp;quot; of great pain where I spend much of my time in bed and my life has been greatly limited. A recent MRI has shown that my herniation has actually healed itself by 2/3rds, yet I&amp;#39;m in as much pain as ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So when I discovered EFT and it worked to break my latest episode, I was thrilled! Within 24 hours, I had reduced my pain level to be off meds, and am getting much better adjustments at my chiropractor!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said, however, the pain comes back. And I&amp;#39;ve identified that my hip is where I hold my stress. Anytime I&amp;#39;m stressed over *anything*, I feel it in my hip first. I&amp;#39;ve been tap-tap-tapping away on various issues that come up, but there seems to be more. Trip to the bank? Pain. Rush out of the house to (wherever)? Pain. Traffic jam? Pain. Uncomfortable conversation with a friend? Pain. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some things I&amp;#39;m tapping on are not bothering me anymore and I can certainly start tapping as soon as I feel the pain and it goes away. But it seems that I must be stressed over *everything*! Or at least, I have not figured out how to keep my stress level down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome. There is not an EFT Practitioner within an hour of me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God&amp;#39;s peace,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;a short history I had my left hip pinned when I was 11 years old and had the pins removed when I was 21. The drs had said I have osteo arthritis and had discussed a total hip replacement when I was 25...I am 41 now I work out&amp;nbsp;using weights and cardio and have done on and off for over 14 years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;the problem is is that I have this pain in my left hip not constantly just at certain times and in all honesty it feels like it is coming from my hip flexor. when I stretch or lean forward in an exaggerated way it feels really tight. I do work out but have been overweight for about 4 years and have since lost 30lbs. the stiffness in my hip does not permit the ease of really stretching properly when I lie down, it feels so tight that I feel if I stretch too much I might dislocate my hip.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;there is also a pain on the sole of my left foot, right under the arch and again this is not constant and once I massage my foot it feels better. the pain in my lower back seems to be more prevalent when my period is due, but hurt more when I was heavier.&amp;nbsp;I wondered if you recommend anything?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;do you think I need to have an alignment done?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>what am I doing wrong??</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/32964.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:29:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:32964</guid><dc:creator>_Suzana_</dc:creator><slash:comments>6</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/32964.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=32964</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone,&lt;br /&gt;EFT is great and really fascinating. I&amp;#39;ve been able to help quite a few people with their physical and emotional issues.&lt;br /&gt;Now however, im puzzled.&amp;nbsp;  I&amp;#39;ve tried a few times to apply EFT to my husband - the full Basic recipe a few times , for simple things- headache,pain in the knee, etc- but I get no results, no relief (and he&amp;#39;s not a sceptic).&lt;br /&gt;The only effect EFT seems to have on him is to make him very sleepy and very hungry!!&amp;nbsp; I know the point under the eye is the end of the stomach meridian and I&amp;#39;ve had people sometimes experience slight stomach discomfort-until the next tapping round, but strong hunger-never. After 2-3 rounds of tapping the only thing I hear is- &amp;quot;I feel so hungry as if I haven&amp;#39;t eaten for 3 days!&amp;quot;. I dont know whether to laugh or worry. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Im really confused, and I hope someone can help me..&amp;nbsp; could I be doing something wrong, or is something &amp;quot;different&amp;quot; in my husband?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you in advance!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suzana&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Serial Killer Article</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/32095.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2009 20:10:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:32095</guid><dc:creator>Sassy</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/32095.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=32095</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Hi Folks,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I have him using a magnetic bed and collar and magnets on sacral area also. He has a chiro and acupucturist and chinese herbs are ordered but in the mean time they will take time to work and aren&amp;#39;t even here yet and I have him on herbs also and ordered a healing halter from Dr Dodd. This occurred last year and we got him better but its different this time, more severe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;He woke with hind end weakness which progressed to paralysis within days while I dug around looking for my activater to give him an adjustment I call his chiro. &lt;span&gt;It is partially weather related but Chiro says his brain and the femoral nerve and the sacral nerve are not communicating and there is spinal arthritis and hip dysplasia and a fatty tumor on his left shoulder&lt;/span&gt;so if you have a few minutes to send some energy his way i would appreciate it and if he improves quickly we will know its the EFT. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thanks ahead of time,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sass &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Question from a Greenhorn.</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/32352.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:23:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:32352</guid><dc:creator>arum</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/32352.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=32352</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;So lets imagine I have this pain in my knee.&amp;nbsp; As usual,I don&amp;#39;t know what the core issue is.&amp;nbsp; Can I ask my subconscious to locate the core issue, and that I choose to release any anger, sadness, fear, worry, guilt,and any trauma concerning this core issue with my knee, and that I choose to release this core issue, and let it go along with all these negative qualities?&amp;nbsp; And then lets imagine that my knee hurt all morning, and I tapped and tapped, but the pain kept coming back till I did this method I just mentioned?&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t know if this is what would have taken the pain away or not.&amp;nbsp; Was it the constant tappping all morning, or was it asking the subconscious to locate the core issue?&amp;nbsp; Just wondering.&amp;nbsp; :)&amp;nbsp; Arum&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Please Help Me Rid Myself Of These Big Fat Swollen Troll Feet..</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/32184.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:43:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:32184</guid><dc:creator>arum</dc:creator><slash:comments>17</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/32184.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=32184</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;NO, I don&amp;#39;t know the core issue.&amp;nbsp; But there has to be a way to get rid of these big fat swollen troll feet.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes I do the &amp;quot;Sandwich Method&amp;quot;, the &amp;#39;Choice Method&amp;quot;,&amp;nbsp; the &amp;quot;Basic&amp;quot; EFT, and I get &amp;quot;some&amp;quot; relief, but&amp;nbsp;the burning and swelling&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;always comes back.&amp;nbsp; Does anyone have any ideas, besides finding the core issue?&amp;nbsp; Thanks,&amp;nbsp; :)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Arum&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Back pain gone!</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/31344.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2009 23:01:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:31344</guid><dc:creator>Desertrose0317</dc:creator><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/31344.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=31344</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just wanted to share an experience that I had with a couple of close friends who wanted to see if EFT really works. It was a husband and wife who came by my house because of severe back pain. My girlfriend&amp;#39;s back pain was on her lower back and has been with her for years and her husband&amp;#39;s pain has been with him for years also (he&amp;#39;s a tad overweight and has sleep apnea).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways, I told them we could all tap together and we discussed where the pain is on the scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worse. Her husband questioned if he had to believe in EFT for it to work and I said no. I told them we will just do it for fun just to see if it will work. I asked them to describe the pain and give it a color in which they did. So they hesitantly followed as I tapped but I could tell her husband was not too crazy about tapping. When all of a sudden his wife screamed, &amp;quot;Oh my god, oh my god! I kid you not I felt this warmth all over my body and had goosebumps and now my backpain is gone!!!!&amp;quot; Of course that did not surprise me but I asked her to walk and bend, etc. just to see if it might return. That was last Saturday. To date, she is still pain free. Now her husband wants to learn how to tap this coming Saturday, lol.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would of shared this sooner but I was busy trying to surrogate tap for my brother I completely forgot.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Need some advice on working with back pain.</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/31484.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:45:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:31484</guid><dc:creator>Gary 1955</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/31484.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=31484</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have only been using EFT for a few weeks and have had some success using it on myself and my wife. I am working my way through Gary&amp;#39;s DVD set and really find them informative. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have been using EFT on my wifes back pain which she injured about a year ago. She slipped on a wet floor landing in a setting position. She has a movie on this and so far I have tapped on imbarrisment, fear &amp;amp; the pain itself and the pain stay&amp;#39;s around a 7,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last night she said she could feel the pain actually leave making a sweeping motion from her right side up accross the top of her legs then she said she felt the pain come back in following the same path. I can&amp;#39;t seem to reduce this pain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I start tapping on the KC, then move to the top of the head, EB, SE, BE, the upper lip, lower lip, collar bone then back to&amp;nbsp;the KC. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems I&amp;#39;m not getting anywhere with this one. Any help is appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m breastfeeding my 3.5 months old baby, and have caught candida on my nipples. I&amp;#39;m treating this with probiotics and avoiding sugars. I don&amp;#39;t know if it&amp;#39;s gone or not. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At any rate, I have two cuts on my left nipple and it hurts badly when I feed her from this side. She knows how to lock unto the breast and gains good weight, and it&amp;#39;s not the sore nipples I had at the beginning until my body got used to breastfeeding. But still it hurts!!! and even if it goes away, it comes back after a while. I&amp;nbsp;tapped on it, without much success. I guess this means there&amp;#39;s a core issue, but I have no idea what it might be (I don&amp;#39;t know if it&amp;#39;s connected, but I think I have less milk in my left breast, compared to my right). Is it possible to tap on &amp;quot;Even though I don&amp;#39;t know the reason for my sore nipple, I deeply....&amp;quot;?&amp;nbsp; I mean, is it possible to clear an issue without the core issue becoming consciously known?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

I am new to EFT and I&amp;#39;ve tried to help him tap to get rid of his foot pain and swelling. This started while he, his wife and their five children came to vacation with me. His wife as celebrating her birthday while here and she told my brother that she would not walk with him if he wore gym shoes when we go out to go dancing. So he wore dress shoes just to please her but he wore thick socks because that&amp;#39;s all he had packed. His wife made him dance all night and the very next day (Friday) he started slightly limping. Saturday morning my sister in law kept trying to massage his foot which I thought got worse because the limping was more evident and I noticed swelling. Sunday, he drove back home to Texas and by Monday, he could barely walk he said. Today, (Tuesday) he said his wife put him on her back so that he could go to the washroom because he couldn&amp;#39;t bear the pain if he tried to stand and walk. She got him a cane but he said nothing helped. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried to ask him to describe to me how it felt and scale was a 10, I asked him to tell me what color the pain was, he said black. He said that it felt like someone was nailing his foot to the floor. I tapped continuously for over an hour and asked him how it felt. He said no change. I then told him he has anger wrapped around it and he needs to let go of anger and forgive himself. He told me that he would rather die than continue to endure the pain that he is experiencing and that he is very angry and feels helpless because he cannot do things around the house that he normally does. He stays home with his 5 kids while his wife is in the army. I tapped on his anger and I told him that he needed to forgive himself and let go of anger but no change as far as the pain and swelling on his foot. Is there something I&amp;#39;m missing? I am trying to do surrogate tapping and I have done it in the past for my husband and a few friends and it has worked. What am I doing wrong? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please help. I am worried because he is borderline diabetic.I know what could happen if his foot develops an infection. &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>surrogate EFT</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/31113.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:14:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:31113</guid><dc:creator>rrochon</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/31113.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=31113</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most of the reports of using EFT surrogately have been&amp;nbsp;done over the phone, while the patient knows that something is &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;being done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the phone there is some connection between the individuals concerned, but I wonder how necessary it is that the person &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in pain needs to know they are being treated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are there any reports of using EFT surrogately, for back pain as an example, when the patient does not know that anyone is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;working for them?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

July) with severe pain in my chest about an 9 on the SUDS and slight pain in my arm and right shoulder blade about a 1 on the SUDS.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As this was a medical problem I went to see my doctor. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;He said he thought it was musculoskeletal pain but ordered an ECG to be on the safe side.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The ECG ruled out any heart problems.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My doctor prescribed painkillers. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;He told me if I was still in pain the next day to let him know.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;At this point I had simply forgotten to try EFT on it.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I had not done any strenuous exercise or had an accident so I was flummoxed as to why the pain started.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The next day on the Thursday I still had chest pains and the pain in my right shoulder blade and right arm was much worse easily a 10 on the SUDS.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;As I still had chest pains I was sent to hospital for a chest x-ray, another ECG and blood tests.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The hospital doctor could find nothing wrong with my heart or chest and agreed with the first doctor’s diagnosis that I had musculoskeletal pain.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;When I woke up on the Friday the chest pain was virtually gone and was about 0.5 on the suds.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The pain in my right arm and right shoulder blade was still a 10.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;At this point I had been taking painkillers every 4 hours and waking up in pain during the night to take painkillers. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The painkillers are not really doing much to help.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The doctor said I had to try painkillers for seven days and if no change to see him again. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Then a light bulb switched on in my head and I suddenly thought why have I not tried EFT on this?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;So I first tried being global with statements like &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;“Even though I have this pain in my right shoulder blade” &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;“Even though I have this pain right arm”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;This was doing nothing.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;Anger came up from my subconscious.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I couldn’t think what I was angry about but went with it.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I then changed the set up statements based around anger.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Again this did not do anything to help.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;I then tried to future pace it with statements like&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;“Even though I have this pain in my right shoulder blade I choose and allow my body to heal the pain in the quickest safest possible manner”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;After a couple of days I still had the pain so I tried statements like&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;“Even though I have this pain in my right shoulder blade I order my body to heal this pain the quickest safest possible manner”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;It is now Wednesday 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a response the that article I wanted to share the follow...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My final injury was a meniscus tear, unfortunately in my case where the tear occurred part of the cartledge came off and floated under my knee cap which stopped me from being able to fully bend my knee.&amp;nbsp; However whilst EFT couldn&amp;#39;t fix that it had stopped any pain that was associated with it, I very rarely had my knee lock out, it has given me more mobility that the specialists expected.&amp;nbsp; Recovery was faster, the pysicotherapist couldn&amp;#39;t believe after the surgery how fast my range of flexibility came back, which only usually comes from professional sports people (which I am not).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here is what I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately after the injury I was tapping for the excruiating pain in my leg.&amp;nbsp; My injury occurred at about 7.30pm by 8.30pm my pain levels where around a 3 or 4 it was just a sore of a nagging thud feeling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tapped alot on the following for many days and weeks after the event.&amp;nbsp; The setup for me is more effect on the karate chop point, although when I am anywhere in public and still doing the tapping I use the sore spot.&amp;nbsp; My tapping sequence was from the top of the head, EB, SE, UE, UN, Chin, CB, UA, thumb, pointer finger, index finger, little finger - 9 Gamut - Head, EB, SE, UE, UN, Chin, CB, UA.&amp;nbsp; I find when I work on myself short cuts don&amp;#39;t work (but that&amp;#39;s just me)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I am in agony I deeply and completely accept myself&lt;br /&gt;Even though I&amp;#39;m going to miss out on making the team, I accept myself for anything I might have done to cause it&lt;br /&gt;Even though I&amp;#39;m angry at myself for letting this happen I deeply and completely accept myself&lt;br /&gt;Even though I angry at&amp;nbsp;********* for getting in my way I deeply and completely accept myself&lt;br /&gt;Even though I&amp;#39;m sad that I won&amp;#39;t make the team I truely love myself anyway&lt;br /&gt;Even though I&amp;#39;m not going to be the strongest female because of this injury I deeply and completely accept myself&lt;br /&gt;Even though I might not be able to fight any more I accept myself anyway&lt;br /&gt;Even though I hate being sick and laid up I deeply and completely accept myself anyway&lt;br /&gt;Even though I don&amp;#39;t like hospitals I deeply and complete love myself anyway&lt;br /&gt;Even though the doctors might cut off my leg I love and accept myself anyway&lt;br /&gt;Even though I might die if I have surgery I deeply and completely accept myself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it went on and on - what ever popped into my mind that is what I tapped for and did this every day after the accident, then after hearing the specialist I ramped up the hospital, doctors, dieing or losing my leg stuff because I didn&amp;#39;t realise it at the time but I had a fear of all those things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I hope that has helped.&amp;nbsp; My suggest is write down everything that comes to mind that maybe holding your back or you have the slightest concerns about.&amp;nbsp; Know exactly what your injury is and just tap.&amp;nbsp; When you are having a shower in the morning, making a coffee, driving (at your own risk), doing the laundry, reading, at the movies.&amp;nbsp; Many times a day, it might seem monotonous but the rewards will out weigh this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope this helps&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Pain in my right bum- muscle spasm</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/30835.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:46:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:30835</guid><dc:creator>hivid</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/30835.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=30835</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I have no clue if anyone has ever got this.

&lt;p&gt;My throat has been sore for more than a month now. I&amp;#39;ve had 2 rounds of antibiotics because of the bacteria that was found (streptococcus), but the pain returned a few days after I finished the second dose. I&amp;#39;ve decided there won&amp;#39;t be a third time! I&amp;#39;m also breastfeeding and caught candida becuase of the antibiotics and not taking probiotics and my baby got it too. A big mess! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I tried tapping many times for my sore throat and the candida, but it won&amp;#39;t go away and there&amp;#39;s little improvement. It&amp;#39;s been 2 weeks now with a sore throat, and it got better but not completely gone and now it&amp;#39;s worsening again. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EFT doesn&amp;#39;t seem to work here! I&amp;#39;ve also tried tapping for a headache I had, with no relief. I&amp;#39;ve been tapping on some negative beliefs about money and self-esteem, and I don&amp;#39;t feel these issues have been cleared either. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#39;s wrong here, why isn&amp;#39;t it working?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought about toxins, especially sugar - which I&amp;#39;m addicted to - but if I eliminate it from my diet, how will I overcome the craving, if EFT still doesn&amp;#39;t work? I need some help here...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iris&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Broken shoulder pain</title><link>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/14486.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 May 2008 19:38:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3ef29671-9687-46d5-a862-0f18aeb38524:14486</guid><dc:creator>Janedoe</dc:creator><slash:comments>14</slash:comments><comments>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/thread/14486.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=14486</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I fell a month ago and broken my left shoulder. I keep it in a sling, and was just given some exercises to do a week ago. The Dr. said it was a bad break (just below the ball, and a piece of the ball broke off), but I did not have surgery (no insurance.) I&amp;#39;ve been doing EFT for several months now, and have had terrific results for my fibromyalgia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have been less successful with the constant pain I&amp;#39;ve had since this accident. Any suggestions would be welcome.&lt;/p&gt;
