chronic pain disorder??

Question

The Dr. says that I may have chronic pain disorder, but he is testing me for a pinched nerve first, I'll know for sure on the 27th.. I was just wonderin if anybody can explain to me if they have chronic pain disorder, how it was diagnosed, and how the pain management is coming along??

Answer 1

The best I can add to your question is drugs. With severe pain you will be on any type of opiate drug at a giving time. Addiction is a definite so consider this. Also consider many people abuse these drugs so doctors can perscribe very sparingly and not give one what they need for pain. Either way is a no win situation. A true doctor should start you at minimal and listen to your feedback. Some doctor's ignore feedback thus I have heard many people seeing two or three doctors at once without each doctor knowsing just to get what is needed. I have also seen this done in abuse cases. My point is if you have started these drugs yet consider what youa re facing with the drugs alone. Remember to always taper off them when needed and never take more than you need without having enough for back up or to taper off. If you are on say a vicodin 5/500 and they are not working or just not enough for your level of pain hold of taking more go to ER or pain specialist and bring them in and state the problem. When they see you have the proper regime left it is less a problem. Again this is a touchy area but you should become familar with it and how yourself reacts to such drugs in both good and bad ways.

I wish you th ebest of luck and least amount of pain. Severe pain can be the worse feeling ever experienced and it is difficult to get people to understand the level of pain you are at.

well I'm going to assume that you may be speaking about a
chronic pain disorder that is caused by anxiety/stress/tension.
this type of chronic physical pain disorder is caused by inner tension. this inner tension is caused by repressed emotions and the emotions are repressed by chronic mental conditioning such as (complaining, judging, resenting, controlling, expecting). a pretty common way for you to help diagnose yourself is to look at your personality...this type of chronic pain disorder is most often found in the Type A personality traits like,
striving, perfectionistic, overly self-conscious, controlling, highly competitive. this is a very real physical pain condition that can be attributed to most neck and shoulder & low back pain, sciatica, piriformis, hip, knee and foot pain, as well as chronic soreness and stiffness. You may be encouraged to know that there is a very real bio-chemistry involved within you rmuscle and nerve tissue that creates the pain sensations--this is oxygen deprivation and is created when inner tension is present in the system---your blood vessels restrict and this means less blood flow and oxygen to tissue and this is pain. This disorder can be self-treated with great effectiveness and the pain reversed. #1 you must stop searching and treating as a physical injury and instead look inward to how you are being. instead of seeking a physical treatment, ask yourself what is causing me tension right now--and then genuinely investigate that. #2 - begin to practice present moment awareness as much as possible--meaning be mindful of who/how you are being. #3 start listening in and observing your innner chatter (drama conversations)...and notice how much you are in the past in anger/resentment or in the future in worry/expectation...when you notice this, get out of the past or future and become mindful/present....you can not create tension when you are supremely present...so that is your intention. trust yourself and be truthful with yourself--this will open up yourself emotionally and at the same time open up your internal system. good luck. if you need more info visit:

chronic pain disorder is a cycle of pain, anxiety, and depression.. if you have experienced this downward spiral of symtoms, then you too may have acquired it.. i have been dealing with chronic pain for 5 and 1/2 years and had the chronic pain disorder for about the last two years.. it is not a fun place to be..
