I've had so many physical complaints and tests. I never use to take a panadol now I'm take codeine, ibuprofen, naproxen, anti-inflammatories.
I've had ultrasounds of my neck, stomach, kidneys, uterus. I do have some uterine problems but the rest is deemed 'psychosomatic'. I also have chest pain & palpations.
Tammy you are so right. The physical pain with the mental pain is so not fair. I often say that very thing.
Sometimes I get bad sinus pain too. However I've started to figure out that if I can cry I can release some of this pain. I've been conditioned not to cry, so I have to remind myself to do it.
I've tried many massages, physio, alexander technique etc.
I wonder about fibro because I get pain for example on my entire right hand side, from my face, to my neck, in the elbow, wrist, fingers, down to back, hip joints, knee joint, right down to the ankle and foot.
Currently I'm doing biodynamic massage which falls under somatic psychotherapy. So far it has not got rid of the pain but I think it's helping. At the least it's incredibly soothing & comforting, and my massage therapist has experience with somatic complaints & trauma survivors.
if you google biodynamic massage or somatic therapy there's alot of info out there. |
