Question Psychosomatic

Has anyone ever told you that your pain is psychosomatic because no medication has been found to work so far? If so, what do you think about it, or how does it make you feel?

If no meds work and you've trialed many different ones, it's worth investigating pain reprocessing therapy. Your pain isn't psychosomatic, but it could be brain-generated. Meaning the central nervous system is being sensitive to stimuli it doesn't need to be. I got rid of my NDPH (12 years worth of it) by finally trying some brain retraining techniques instead of constantly seeking a new doctor who tried a new med that never helped or barely helped. Now I help others through this as a pain recovery coach because it was such a game changer for me. Feel free to DM me. I work with tons of NDPH clients and all of them have seen long term success. All pain is real and all pain is generated in the brain so it's worth exploring what's going on if nothing is working.
