Hi there. You are so young for this, any idea what triggered such a rich display of usually old-age problems? I know exactly what you're saying. I've had a bad case of peritonitis that they didn't find in time (I could have died then) and every time I told my doctor how much I pain I am, he said there's no reason to be in pain and it's only in my head, he even gave me some antidepressants... They found it when it almost was too late, and I was rushed to surgery. He never even apologized. The only thing I could do about it was change doctors... Do you think that is an option for you? If the modern diagnostic equipment can't pintpoint a cause of your pain, it doesn't mean that it's necessarily psychological - it means that they just can't pinpoint the cause. But describe the type of pain a little - is it back and leg together? Is it permanent or set off by triggers (cold, effort, position)? Is it dull or sharp? A rudimentary way of finding out if it's psychological or not is to observe whether it hurts more when you're thinking or talking about it, and, in the "ease" periods, if remembering about it makes it grow. And there is also "idiopathic pain", which they should have diagnosed you already with - that means that have no idea where it comes from, but they acknowledge it. And lastly, what investigations you underwent? |
