Psychosomatic pain

[PikeKing]

Its official.

I am a psycho.

I spent the weekend away, out of my normal environment and I was pretty much pain free the whole time.

I got back in the early hours of monday morning.

Now at half 11 on monday my back and hip are both hurting quite a bit!

This has got to be in my head.

A similar thing happened over xmas too.

Anyone else get this or had this?

I am trying to think positive but I'm not sure what else I can do.

Help me please!

There is only one person who can help you and that is YOU!!!!

Indirectly, you often blame the people who love you, for your injuries and misfortunes. You hold the key to your own good health and happiness. Only you can unlock the door.

Title: CHRONIC PSYCHOSOMATIC PAIN ALLEVIATED BY BRIEF THERAPY.

Abstract: A case is presented of a male patient with intractable pain that responded very rapidly to the therapeutic release of a suppressed negative emotion (anger) and a re-vivification of a previously experienced successful use of acupuncture for pain relief. The case demonstrates the mind-body link found in somatization or psychosomatic disorders and shows how this was used in its resolution. The interventions involved seeding, anchoring, utilization and re-vivification, silent abreaction and imagery. During hypnosis the patient no longer complained of his pain, a state which continued after hypnosis had been reversed. Clinical outcome in routine evaluation (CORE) forms were used both before and two weeks after the therapeutic session and showed a dramatic change to normalization, which was maintained at a four-month follow-up. The treatment, which consisted of 15 minutes in surgery and a therapy session of one hour, demonstrates that sometimes very brief therapy can be very productive.

Title: One hundred cases of recurrent abdominal pain in children: diagnostic procedures and criteria for a psychosomatic diagnosis.

Abstract: Aims: To highlight the diagnostic difficulties involved in elucidating the aetiology of recurrent abdominal pain and to evaluate the use of special premises and criteria for the diagnosis of psychosomatic pain. Methods: The study included 100 consecutive cases of recurrent abdominal pain in 6 to 15 y-old children who were evaluated at a special paediatric clinic for recurrent abdominal pain and who were followed for at least one year. The investigation included a semistructured questionnaire, laboratory investigations based on clinical data and diagnoses based on defined criteria. Three premises and seven criteria, based on the assumption that chronic negative stress can cause recurrent pain, were used for the diagnosis of psychosomatic pain. Results: When the presented premises and criteria were employed for the diagnosis of psychosomatic pain, nearly half of the cases (48%) of recurrent abdominal pain could be explained. An organic or possibly organic diagnosis was found in 25% of the cases. Fourteen children had a possible psychosomatic diagnosis and in 9 cases no known diagnosis could be reached. Conclusion. The presented premises and criteria for the diagnosis of psychosomatic pain can be helpful when diagnosing recurrent abdominal pain, but further validation is needed. According to these criteria, a psychosomatic diagnosis was common in this series, accounting for nearly half of the cases. A medical diagnosis was evident in a quarter of the cases.
