I was diagnosed with central sensitization at Mayo last August - this pain is horrible and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! The doctors at Mayo recommended this book, which explains how your brain is sending the wrong signals to your body, which is why you feel pain. When this happens, pain medication is pretty much ineffective. The most effective treatment is to retrain your brain to send the correct signals so that your body goes out of fight or flight mode. This book was strongly recommended to understand what is happening with your brain and body. Cognitive Behavorial Therapy is strongly recommended to help retrain your brain. I have been doing this for almost a year now and would say that I am 90% better than I was last year at this time. I also have links to videos/etc that Mayo provided. Please let me know if interested and I am happy to share.

What is the title of the book you recommend? Thanks.

It sounds like phantom pain, like when someone loses a limb and it hurts anyway, just like it was still attached.
